The session will showcase several examples of how journalists used large language models in the past year. We will look into examples such as:

1) Using ChatGPT for document analysis. We tried to use ChatGPT for a large-scale text analysis in order to learn how European media outlets covered AI in the past 10 years. The project was an absolute failure. We will explain what we did, and what went wrong.

2) Using Whisper for transcription. Whisper is a tool by OpenAI that lets users transcribe audio files on their computers using an LLM in dozens of languages. It frees journalists from the need to transcribe by hand when the data must not be shared to a third party. We will explain how to use it.
