U3A Vall del Pop

WHILE some 40 members headed to Cordoba, the remaining members of the Vall del Pop U3A had a busy week with a multitude of events to keep us out of mischief.

Sunday May 14 saw a coachload of some 50 members off to see The Bohemians perform their tribute show to Queen at Benidorm Palace.

On Tuesday May 16 up to 40 Ladies at Lunch visited the Shack in Jalon, where Mark, the owner, rose to the challenge. Their next lunch will be on Tuesday June 20 at Restaurante La Piscina, Parcent, which will be their last until September.

On Thursday May 18, up to 47 members were raring to go to explore Sagunto and its castle, which dates back over 2,000 years.

The trip will take place from September 18 to 20 with buffet style B&B at a cost of €250 per person.

Programmes such as ChatGPT, which enables users to generate all kinds of text on almost any topic and in any style based on a wealth of information found on the internet, are reportedly already being used by pupils to create essays to submit as part of their assessment without any effort whatsoever.

Education centres report that they have begun detecting these cases and warn that often the text generated is incoherent, the language does not fit the topic, points are sometimes mentioned that are not developed, and the programme creates URLs for bibliographies that do not exist.
