UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This course will help students how to use chatbots like ChatGPT and other AI tools effectively for text analysis and synthesis. Large Language Models and Natural Language Processing can be useful tools to understand and process language through AI.
AI makes it possible to generate semantic analysis of words in context, analyze the syntax of texts or carry out studies based on Sentiment Analysis. AI can also be used as a concordancer.
Linguistic synthesis makes it possible de sum up much information, generate linguistic content from prompts with register variation, for example. Proper use of these tools and techniques should be applied carefully. We'll analyze AI erroneous content to emphasize the need of critical use of AI.
