aspreadsheet in less time by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI)?This paper will discuss incorporating the use of AI Chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude 3, andGemini (formerly known as Bard), into an advanced steel design course. The course is centeredaround a semester long project where Architectural Engineering students design and analyze a multi-story steel structure. Students throughout the semester will use an AI Chatbot to create spreadsheetsby asking it to develop Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code that can then be inserted into Excelspreadsheets. The resulting spreadsheet will be compared to hand-calculations and RISA output todetermine the accuracy of the VBA code and error reduction produced by AI Chatbots.IntroductionIt is a common

, and novelty. First,artists are upset because the datasets include their unauthorized copyrighted material. The Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network-5B (LAION-5B) makes one of the larger datasetrepositories which holds 5.85 billion usable image and text pairings [9]. Then product vendorsaccess the dataset and deploy diffusion models to train the AI. The text-to-image generators donot attribute the original work [10]. Second, computers do too much of the work and not theartist. Using minimal effort, Ammar Reshi engages ChatGPT to write and AI art to illustrate thechildren’s book Alice and Sparkle [11]. Third, AI art is novel, and scholars have not vetted andresearched the curriculum for its impact on architecture education and
