(MIT App Inventor)
"In this unit, students explore synthetic media by creating a smartphone app that can speak in different voices by changing the rate and pitch of the speech.

Educators can use this lesson to introduce students to , provide a basic understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and prompt students to predict the possible future use and abuse of synthetic media in society."

Thanks to a toot from @DavidKnuffke that I saw this morning, I tried another tool - Elicit elicit.org/
"This workflow tries to answer your research question with information from published papers."
My example is shown here with my initial question in the red box. Wow.
