Yes, you may use GenAI to take notes from lectures or classes, and this approach may be very helpful in organizing and retaining the material. GenAI tools can make it much easier to transform complex content into understandable and organized notes. However, it is important to use those tools responsibly and as an addition to your own work. GenAI can help you create concise summaries of long content. If you have your own notes or a transcript from a lecture, you can use the tool to create a summary of them to extract key points. You can also use GenAI to reshape chaotic notes into a logically organized structure.
If your notes are theoretical, GenAI can add practical examples to them to help you understand the material better. Always make sure that the content generated by GenAI is consistent with the material covered in class. Use GenAI as a supporting tool, but do not give up taking notes yourself. Taking notes by yourself is part of active learning that helps you remember the material better.
