Have you heard about AI or specific terms like ChatGPT or OpenAI?
You might even have formed an opinion whether to allow it or not for your students.
> But have you thought about it for your own part, what you could use it for?
In this article, we explore a specific use case, generating a summary for a course, something that takes time to do as you need to write the text, find proper links and other things. Let’s be honest, you love teaching, and this is just boring “admin” work.

Create the course summary
Let’s pick a subject to teach, “causation algorithms” and next let’s decide on some reasonable prompts that we will ask our Open AI about:
Prompt: describe why causation algorithms is so interesting compared to correlation-based ones
OpenAI output:
Causation algorithms are gaining more attention due to their ability to identify the causal relationships between two or more variables. Unlike correlation-based algorithms, which merely measure the strength of the association between two variables, causation algorithms can determine the cause-and-effect relationship between those variables. This is a powerful tool for predictive analysis, as it allows for the identification of factors that lead to a certain outcome and the development of strategies to influence that outcome. In other words, causation algorithms can provide a much more sophisticated level of insight into a data set than correlation-based algorithms.
Prompt: write me a 500 word article explaining causation algorithms for beginners
OpenAI Output:
Causation algorithms are a type of machine learning algorithm that uses statistical techniques to evaluate causal relationships between two or more variables. They are becoming increasingly popular in the world of data science because of their ability to make predictions about the future based on past data. Causal algorithms are used to identify patterns in datasets and then use those patterns to make predictions about future events.
In order to understand how causation algorithms work, it is important to understand the concept of causality. Causality is the relationship between two events, where one event causes the other to happen. For example, if the weather is hot, then the ice cream sales in the store will likely increase. In this case, the hot weather is the cause and the increased ice cream sales is the effect.
Causation algorithms use advanced statistical techniques to identify these causal relationships in datasets. They can look at data from a variety of sources such as weather data, economic data, and customer data to identify patterns and then use those patterns to make predictions. For example, a causation algorithm could look at past sales data and weather data and then make a prediction about future sales based on the relationship between the two datasets.
Causation algorithms can be used for a variety of purposes. They can be used to identify patterns in customer data to better understand consumer behavior. They can also be used to predict future trends in the stock market or in the economy. They can even be used to predict the success of a new product before it is released.
In order for causation algorithms to make accurate predictions, they need to be trained with large amounts of data. This is where machine learning comes in. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that uses algorithms to learn from data and then use that data to make predictions. By training causation algorithms with large datasets, they can become more accurate in their predictions.
Causation algorithms are a powerful tool that can be used to make predictions about the future.

Great, we have some raw data at this point that we can assess. However, we still need to check for correctness and that is sounds good, but this was a lot of help in just seconds right?
Editorial
Next, let’s do some editorial by assigning some reasonable headers and see if we want to adjust the text somewhat.
