Through a series hands-on exercises participants will explore how these tools generate responses, where their limits show up, and how to use them effectively without overestimating their abilities. This session will focus on Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Notebook LM. Free versions of each of these are available. You can login to Copilot with your campus credentials. If you don't already have free Google and ChatGPT accounts, please create these prior to the workshop.
