About the Course

ChatGPT and other large language models are going to be more important in your life and business than your smartphone, if you use them right. ChatGPT can tutor your child in math, generate a meal plan and recipes, write software applications for your business, help you improve your personal cybersecurity, and that is just in the first hour that you use it. This course will teach you how to be an expert user of these generative AI tools. The course will show amazing examples of how you can tap into these generative AI tools' emergent intelligence and reasoning, how you can use them to be more productive day to day, and give you insight into how they work. Large language models respond to instructions and questions posed by users in natural language statements, known as “prompts”. Although large language models will disrupt many fields, most users lack the skills to write effective prompts. Expert users, who understand how to write good prompts, are orders of magnitude more productive and can unlock significantly more creative uses for these tools. This course introduces students to the patterns and approaches for writing effective prompts for large language models. Anyone can take the course and the only required knowledge is basic computer usage skills, such as using a browser and accessing ChatGPT. Students will start with basic prompts and build towards writing sophisticated prompts to solve problems in any domain. By the end of the course, students will have strong prompt engineering skills and be capable of using large language models for a wide range of tasks in their job, business, personal life, and education, such as writing, summarization, game play, planning, simulation, and programming....

Very easy to digest and each section is explained using clear examples. The instructor has a way of simplifying something that could be perceived as tricky and complex! Enjoyed this course very much!

Too long. I would go straight to the point. It would be good a summary cheat-sheet at the end of the course.

A lot of this field is people forgetting that the study of Humans exists. As a result, a lot of this is NOT groundbreaking just new for the TECH Professor. This course fails to understand that AI did not create patterns or how they work. It is trying to reinvent the wheel when skilled experts understand why the wheel exists. Your wife was the perfect example. She was the Expert, but because you saw the AI that came out first. Moreover, it is way too long. The Patterns are basically knock-offs of the others. The People change one thing, and name it, and say invented it!! Very Typical. Just so very typical. Again, it is just the Macro level that is missing. The person that says "Hey, are we sure we did not do this before?". Please limit the Modules to actionable input. The Tests are a Joke and an insult. Please provide real tests or nothing. Videos. Omg the Video from the course take a ungodly long time to load. That is a website issue. As both a Lawyer and a Tech expert, to me, all 6 models could be replaced by AI. Why on earth not? Never have a written a review like this for a professor, but again Why would I pick this course over AI?
