Get a one-hour sampling of the power of a Notre Dame liberal arts education with the College of Arts & Letters' Crash Course series on home football Fridays! Each event features an A&L professor leading a class session pulled directly from some of the most popular and riveting courses on campus."Writing in the Age of AI" with Nathaniel MyersUniverity Writing Program  Would you use ChatGPT to complete a report for work? Would you use it to write an apology letter to a loved one? What about drafting a toast for a wedding reception? Generative artificial intelligence technologies can produce text that sounds convincingly human, and they hold the promise to make us more efficient and effective writers. But they're also prone to fabricating information — and besides, what do we owe our (human) readers? In this session, attendees will get a glimpse into how this course examines what it means to write with AI across many different situations, provides strategies for incorporating it into the writing process, and encourages us to reflect on why we might choose to use AI (or not) in the first place.  Alumni, friends, prospective students and their parents, and anyone else on campus are welcome.   Visit Crash Course for a complete listing of courses this season.Originally published at al.nd.edu.

Browning Live Scores Directed by F. Gary Gray With Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Nia Long Rated R, 97 minutes Live Score Event with DJ Reminisce.X! Will Friday prove to be a good day?

Now three decades (!) since its release, Friday remains an important foil to the gritty hood movies of the New Jack Cinema era, offering levity alongside the quotidian South Central LA experience. And now three decades since its release, DJ Reminisce.X will be live-scoring the film (meaning captions will be on but the sound will be new) to offer a new take on the classic.
