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....

Charismatic professor that explained the topics in a light-hearted way, thus making learning enjoyable. He explained a variety of topics in a short amount of time which was very much appreciated.

Excellent intro into the world of Large Learning Modules. Dr. White does a good job of explaining in layman's terms what LLM's are all about and how best to work with them to improve your own work.

This course was something of a disappointment. The professor is a bit long-winded, and never did show how to ask a simple question, then a follow-up question, then a question after that, etc. to get the response you want and have a conversation go in a good direction. That's one of the most basic uses of ChatGPT. A lot of the "patterns" that he discusses seem more appropriate if you want to build your own chatbot, taking in lots of data from users or sifting through lots of internal data. I can see why his background is in computer science, because he seemed to focus more on the technical aspects of pattern after pattern rather than issues having to do with wording and critical thinking as you have conversations with ChatGPT.
