Making several versions of the slides available will provide a
very clear example how the use of ChatGPT can affect the quality
of the results.  Ideally
  * The priginal hand-written slides.
  * The slides after engagind ChatGPT.
  * the further reworkes slides for the version 2.0 release.
Discussion on what changed and your own effort and contributions
to the final document would also be welcome.  Of course it's
you, and not me, who should decide how much is worth doing.
