OpenAI the makers of ChatGPT recently released a feature that allows users to make custom versions of ChaGPT, or what OpenAI calls GPTs. As a professor of journalism at the graduate and undergraduate level, I was curious if I could make my own GPT that could teach college students the essentials of journalism.
Often writers, even skilled writers in other areas, struggle to write material in a manner suitable for a magazine or newspaper because they don’t understand the required tone and other expectations. I wondered if I could create a custom version of ChatGPT that could serve as journalism mentor for my students and help them learn the tricks of the trade.
