This means these apps are teachable.

2. Taylor and Francis Journal Suggester

Works quite well for humanities

But most academics still don't know how to use these apps smartly.

Here are five ways you can use ChatGPT intelligently for teaching and academic purposes (prompts included):
1. Simplifying complex topics for students:

As teachers we all struggle with explaining complex ideas to our students.

Ask ChatGPT about the things that an undergraduate/high school student may find difficult.

Prepare your lecture/lesson plan accordingly.
Example above:

I gave ChatGPT an extract from an essay by Franco Moretti with the following prompt:

"I teach an undergraduate class at the University of Southern Denmark. What are the points in the essay that an undergraduate student may find difficult."
