It was pretty exciting to see how AI could take over some of the load when we craft questions. This is a common trait I notice.
All these applications now could 'take over' the generation of questions. OR it saves our time from thinking very hard to craft questions right from scratch. Just feed the relevant info and prompts, it will generate a variety of questions - based on what it can 'combed' from the internet, I supposed. This is helpful from the teacher's perspective because crafting questions, fresh questions in particular, could be very time consuming. I spent at least 5 days to get a class test paper and the end-of-year exam paper out. The only load, which I find AI comes in very handy is to help refine the sentence structure to improve clarity of the question (phrasing). Yes, this is the part, indeed, takes up a lot of my time, too.
I'm still not used to just adopting questions generated. There are definitely limitations. So, I guess AI comes in handy for its enhancement role, and sometimes to give "opinions" for our own self-checking. Nevertheless, do keep in mind that AI could be 'swayed' by our arguments, too!
One other common advantage I could see across all these 3 applications is - if it is put to proper or good use, it could be a learning aid for students - to help them clarify their thinking, in particular, areas that they are not very sure. It is there to provide good reasons to support the pros and cons.
In each of the short clips, it demonstrates briefly how the AI-enhanced GoogleSuite can be used for resource generation and learning through "clarification".
