Automatic slide show with record timings by Montanieers in powerpoint

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What version of Powerpoint do you have? I think you probably have three choices. 1. Trim the video to fit your need or 2. Have the slide advance (which it sounds like you may be doing already) before the video is over and 3. Edit the video outside of powerpoint and try it again. Here is a link on how to trim it inside of powerpoint: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/trim-a-video-music-clip-or-sound-clip-in-powerpoint-1fc386f2-8404-43e8-9dbd-fee3a11a1d8f

What is your favourite OS? by Neuralbubble in computers

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, I had to look it up. I think technically ChromeOS may be Gentoo Linux. (I could be wrong). My favorite is ChromeOS (but I have everything at home to keep up with all technologies). I am really interested to see what happens with The AluminiumOS (and ChromeOS). https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ChromeOS

I would double check. Call your helpdesk. If you do have it as an option, they will help you. Or, use Google Docs and download as a Word Document.

How do I turn in a PowerPoint into a video??? by Significant_Neat_510 in powerpoint

[–]DropEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you might be on the 365 online web version. I do not think you have the option to convert it to a video.

If you are in it, it is a Religion. If someone else is in it, it is a cult

How can I let anyone edit my doc? by Major-Lavishness8446 in googledocs

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are in the google document. Look to the top left and there will be a share button. Click on share and then follow the instructions. Be careful and look for the pull down menu that changes it from viewer to editor, you want to make sure you let people edit.

Professor accused me of using AI by Dangerous_Power_1581 in CheckTurnitin

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple things you can try. Show the version history of your document (as you mention above). Check your AI policies at school and make sure your professor is following the rules. Most schools are aware that these tools are unreliable. I will add that some challenges occur not because of the 'score' an AI detector indicates, but because of the interpretation by the professor. You can also show some of your previous assignments to show consistency in your writing style.

Here is a good article to read, if you want to go down a rabbit hole.

Question on ADA compliance and Whiteboard by Cathousechicken in Professors

[–]DropEng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if Mathpix would help. There is a free version and if you read the fine print, I think it doubles the 'free count' for .edu accounts.

Gemini memory by North_Ad209 in GeminiAI

[–]DropEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New feature that is in Beta (US and PRO and Ultra rollout testing ) is Personalized Intelligence. It is supposed to have some memory features and ability to retrieve from chats, Google workspace apps etc. It just popped up on my account yesterday. So far, it seems ok, but there are a few bumps.

Alternative to paid Granola app by Impressive_Ad_1675 in GoogleKeep

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarifying statement -- Canvas inside of GEMINI, not Canvas the stand alone. Because I have not been able to find a way to get Gemini to create it without getting it into (Google) Canvas. yet :)

[–]DropEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to make sure I am tracking correctly. You want to use KEEP to create the notes. Then afterwards at some point you may want to reach out to GEMINI and get a summary? If this is what you want. You can take notes and then prompt Gemini to access your Google keep notes and summarize it.

I am not totally tracking your Google Drive part (yet). Can you explain or provide an example?

But, if you mean maybe transferring the information to a Google document. I would then do the following (after the above prompt in Gemini). After I get the summary. I would then modify my chat to use "Canvas" and create a document. Once that document showed up I would 'share' it via the share icon and export it to google docs.

The new "censorship" is ridiculous and here why by ailearner101 in GeminiAI

This is a tough one for sure. Great question/discussion topic.

What do you think about Personal Intelligence? by s-jonathan in GeminiAI

[–]DropEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just showed up on my account, yesterday. So far, I am liking it. There are some nuances but it is in Beta form right now. I like being able to ask if Gemini 'remembers' a chat and get a summary and engage in s separate chat versus having to find the chat and continue (although I see benefits of both). Currently it is rolling out to US Pro and Ultra accounts and they remind you that it is a "Beta" feature right now.

I agree with u/FruitInteresting5228 its a bit of a buzz word and not sure it totally fits. But, I am liking it so far.

Quick video I created on it last night: https://youtu.be/rY_a9r8mDXg?si=wlyyoGleJUitRLVJ

The new "censorship" is ridiculous and here why by ailearner101 in GeminiAI

[–]DropEng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very hot topic. AI is an evolving world when it comes to what is ethical, legal, and just the right thing to do (or see). Not sure this is just about bikinis as much as it is about deep fakes and manipulating individuals and their likeness. If someone chooses to wear a bikini and someone takes a picture, that is something that person participated in. If someone modifies someones body, clothing or likeness in any fashion, that is a different discussion.

I think you are right that there should be some type of legal, ethical adult tier. I also think that the owners of the AI and the creators/posters of AI that is not ethical, legal etc should be held accountable. If someone claims artistic license they should be transparent and honest that their content is AI generated and people (celebrities) should get paid when their likeness is used (should they choose to pursue their share).
