Introducing GPT Thinking Partners
Create your own versions of ChatGPT to be your
Reading Buddy, Writing Coach, Research Assistant, or Learning Puppet.
NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners are GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers)
designed to take you to new levels as a reader and a writer.
- Write your own text of any genre or upload one from a Web Site, PDF or Word Doc.
- Choose a sentence, paragraph, or the whole document. Click the button to Ask AI then select a GPT Thinking Partner. Pose a question and add a description of yourself if you would like, then wait for the results.
- Critically read the output from OpenAI that comes to you in an edit box. You can also Resubmit and Resubmit to choose from alternative results. Edit the output of the results you choose so that it is helpful (for other users), honest (about the facts), and harmless (free of bias).
- Hit Start conversation and see how a GPT comment is posted in context showing that this was written by a GPT Thinking Partner and edited by you. You and others can reply to any GPT-collaborated comments with human-only replies or with another GPT Thinking Partner.
- Your work with OpenAI is free and anonymous on NowComment. No separate login is required and no identifying data is transmitted to OpenAI. The content you submit through NowComment is not being stored by OpenAI to train their models.
Ever imagined having a personal assistant that learns and evolves with you?
You can design your own GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) to personalize and shape your AI chats for specific purposes.
Alternatively, tap into the ever-expanding universe of GPT Thinking Partners, each rigorously created and vetted by users just like you.
GPTs at your service
With the click of a button, you can deploy NowComment's Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) next to any document on NowComment. You can select from a bevy of brilliant GPTs.
We have designed these GPTs to be Thinking Partners who are always available to be your personal mentor, tutor, coach, teammate, student, simulator, or tool. GPT Thinking Partners don't just correct your writing or summarize a text; they help you to become a stronger writer and a more thoughtful reader.
NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners shape and transform the output you receive from the same Large Language Models that power ChatGPT. With NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners you make your own ChatGPTs to fit your specific needs as a reader and writer. You will be inspired by the control our GPT Thinking Partners give you over how to integrate AI into your own creative and thinking processes.
There are over 60 GPT Thinking Partners to choose from already (with more coming all the time)! And since there are so many, to guide your choice, we have organized them into the seven approaches for students that Dr. Ethan Mollick and Dr. Lilach Mollick describe in a recent paper, "Assigning AI," as briefly described in the next section, below.
We also invite you to make your own GPT Thinking Partners. NowComment is a platform where we learn with and about Artificial Intelligence.
Remix & Create
GPT Thinking Partners
Detail the persona of the best GPT Thinking Partner you can imagine having. Itemize for that character the reading strategies you want them to employ. Specify the output that you want to receive. Test and test until you have taught your GPT Thinking Partner how you want it to respond to the texts of any genre that you are reading or writing and uploading to NowComment. Become a prompt engineer.
AI as Tool: Extending Performance
We are learning together how to use GPTs as tools to extend our thinking. These GPT Thinking Partners can translate, adapt, and transform text. They can give you a prompt for creating an image and more. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
Keep your own
GPT Dialogue Notebook
Use NowComment to add daily logs on one document each week. Also add images and videos. Invite others to comment. Use
GPT Thinking Partners beside your freewriting, jottings, exploratory logs. Upload a new document each week for you logs, then collect these weekly log documents and things you are reading into a Personal Collection. This collection becomes your GPT Dialogue Notebook.
AI as Teammate: Increasing Collaborative Intelligence
Invite a GPT Thinking Partner into your study group to provide inspiration, find consensus, or play “devil’s advocate.” Consider these GPT Thinking Partners. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
AI as Student: The power of teaching others
Treat a GPT Thinking Partner like your student who has given you their thinking on a text. Respond by teaching more about the topic. Try this with these GPT Thinking Partners. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
AI as Simulator: Creating Opportunities for Practice
Some GPT Thinking Partners are characters we have created to have specific intellectual frameworks or ideological ways of responding. Choose a GPT Thinking Partners like this to engage with different perspectives. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.

По моему опыту ведения онлайн-уроков со школьниками, цифровой формат хорошо восприримают выпускники, а вот детям младше 15 лет с ним тяжело. Наверное, и не для каждого предмета есть уже адекватные онлайн-инструменты. Так что всегда нужно соотносить пользу и издержки использования цифровых инструментов и выбирать адекватные.
Вот это, мне кажется, ключевой тезис авторов: “Если педагоги не изменят свою практику, чтобы действительно интегрировать технологии в процесс обучения, мы рискуем не подготовить учеников к жизни в новом мире 21 века”. Действительно, без интеграции технологий в процесс обучения сложно донести до каждого ученика идею, что цифровые технологии – не только игрушка и чат, но и средство самообразования. Школа могла бы взять на себя хотя бы частичную ответственность за это, если уж ввела в программу изучение информатики.
Возможно, в Великобритании и Сингапуре исследовали только одну зависимость, а возможно- сравнивали разные. В любом случае, авторы текста привели разные примеры, только чтобы подтвердить, что четкого ответа на вопрос о пользе и вреде гаджетов у исследователей нет. Другой вопрос, почему ответа не находится, почему беспристрастные данные получить невозможно.
Нужны ли дополнительные устройства в ходе конкретного урока – это вопрос каждого отдельного урока, а не всей школы целиком.
Есть уроки где дополнительная информация и возможность искать информацию во время урока нужны и помогают, есть уроки где это всё будет мешать.
Думаю решать учителю в рамках конкретного занятия а всей стране или всей школе целиком.
Вот это и есть главная причина запретов: учителя сами не умеют работать с информацией с помощью устройств и не могут этому научить учеников. Что еще остается таким учителям, как не запрещать устройства!
“Задача педагогов – адаптировать более увлекательные методы преподавания и обучения, отказавшись от лекций и перейдя к практическому и совместному обучению”. Непонятно, как это связано с цифровыми устройствами. Практическое и совместное обучение можно организовать без всяких устройств, что и делали лучшие педагоги еще в XX веке.
Приводится объяснение, почему хуже стали результаты тестов в Сингапурском университете, но нет предположений, почему улучшились показатели в британских средних школах. Нет и сравнения показателей. Что могло повлиять на разницу в тестах: возраст обучаемых, насыщенность учебной программы или что-то другое
