# Compile lists


prompt used: "Someone compiling lists in a library"

## description
Students can use an AI tool to compile a list of key terms, concepts, figures, or works, as a way to test their knowledge in a particular disciplinary domain. The AI tool could be used to generate a superset of data about a topic that the student could then use to evaluate what their own dataset contains. In instances where students' ability to recall from memory the type of content that might comprise these lists, guidelines for appropriate use of an AI tool should be developed.

## activity
1. Log into chatGPT using the Harvard AI Sandbox
2. From search bar at the bottom of the page, specify whichever AI tool you'd like to use.
4. First, type your questions and/or your prompt for the AI. Remember:
* If you only hit Enter or Return, this will automatically submit your prompt.
* You can also add three ticks (''') to indicate a paragraph break if you prefer.
5. For this activity, ask chatGPT (or whichever tool you choose) to give you a list of key terms, works, or figures in a particular sub-discipline or field.
6. To refine these lists, add more specifics.
* You can even ask most LLMs to create these lists in tabular format, making it easier to add the AI response to a spreadsheet or document.
* This is also an example of where expertise in a given field/area dictates the quality of the eventual AI creation. The more detail you can provide your chosen LLM, the better the result.

## transcript of activity example:
* USER:
* Make a list of all of the major Impressionist painters working in Paris in the 1890s.
* AI:
* Sure! In the 1890s, some of the major Impressionist painters working in Paris were Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, and Mary Cassatt. These artists were part of the Impressionist movement, which focused on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color in their paintings. They often painted outdoors, en plein air, to capture the changing atmosphere and natural light. Is there anything else I can help you with?
* USER:
* Can you please make a more exhaustive list, including those that are lesser-known, and perhaps only came through Paris once or only interacted with artists more prominent within France. Please put their names, mediums, best-known works, and inventions/innovations into a table in tabular format.
* AI:

| Name | Medium | Best-Known Works | Inventions/Innovations |
|-------------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Claude Monet | Oil painting | "Water Lilies," "Impression, Sunrise," "Rouen Cathedral Series" | Monet is known for his innovative use of color and brushstrokes to capture the effects of light and atmosphere. |
| Pierre-Auguste Renoir | Oil painting | "Luncheon of the Boating Party," "Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette," "Bal du moulin de la Galette" | Renoir's use of vibrant colors and loose brushwork, particularly in his depictions of people, contributed to the lively atmosphere of his works. |
| Edgar Degas | Oil painting, pastel, sculpture | "The Dance Class," "The Absinthe Drinker," "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years" | Degas is known for his innovative compositions, use of unconventional angles, and exploration of different mediums, such as pastels and sculpture. |
| Camille Pissarro | Oil painting | "The Boulevard Montmartre at Night," "The Red Roofs," "The Harvest" | Pissarro's experimentation with color and brushwork, as well as his focus on rural and urban landscapes, contributed to the Impressionist movement. |
| Berthe Morisot | Oil painting | "The Cradle," "Summer's Day," "The Harbor at Lorient" | Morisot's intimate and domestic scenes, often featuring women and children, added a unique perspective to the Impressionist movement. |
| Mary Cassatt | Oil painting, pastel | "The Child's Bath," "The Boating Party," "The Child's Caress" | Cassatt's portrayal of the bond between mothers and children, as well as her use of pastels, brought a distinct touch to Impressionist art. |
| Gustave Caillebotte | Oil painting | "Paris Street; Rainy Day," "The Floor Scrapers," "The Orange Trees" | Caillebotte's precise and realistic style, combined with his interest in urban scenes, contributed to the diversity of the Impressionist movement. |
| Paul Cézanne | Oil painting | "Mont Sainte-Victoire," "The Card Players," "Still Life with Apples" | Cézanne's exploration of form, color, and perspective laid the foundation for the development of Cubism and other modern art movements. |
