Much of our talk about ChatGPT has been about students using it to cheat, but there are ways to use it that academics might be interested in trying for themselves. One interesting set of ChatGPT apps are “readers.” You upload a PDF and then you ask the app questions about it. One of these apps is Filechat. Another is Humata. (There’s also Embra, a ChatGPT-based assistant that integrates into your other apps, such as Chrome; it is in limited beta release, and I have not tried it.) Filechat gives you a certain number of free questions; when you run out, you have the option to buy more. Humata is free, but seems more prone to crashing. I tried both out on an article I’d been meaning to read, but hadn’t (and still haven’t, alas): “Understanding Philosophy” by Michael Hannon (Nottingham) and James Nguyen (Stockholm), published recently in Inquiry. Of the two, I thought Humata had better answers, but keep in mind this is an n=1 experiment.
