Top Tips and Resources
Introducing Bing AI and Copilot
Now you have heard of and hopefully used ChatGPT, but have you heard of Bing AI? Bing is not just a search engine, but an intelligent assistant from Microsoft working in integration on their 365 apps with Copilot.
Find out how you can make use of it in our blog post.
AI Prompt of the Month
This month’s prompt is a little different to usual, we won’t be offering a full distinct prompt to copy and paste but more of an idea of how you could use Bing’s AI image designer.
Have you tried getting AI to create images? Find out more in our blog post.
If you have a top prompt, guidance or any concerns regarding AI misconduct you would like to share with the college please email us.
