Computers have long been seen as advanced calculators, rigidly following the instructions programmed by humans. However, a transformative change is underway with generative AI, where computers are not just tools but partners in thinking, learning, and creating. Generative AI allows machines to engage in creative and intellectual tasks, which, in the past, only humans were capable of.
Generative AI has been the buzzword since ChatGPT was released in 2022, but what does this term mean? This video explains generative AI in easy-to-understand, practical terms, helping us understand exactly what it is and how it functions.
While watching the video, see if you can find the answers to these questions:
- How does the video describe generative AI’s ability to interact using human language? Look for examples that illustrate this capability.
- The video mentions some tips for interacting with tools like ChatGPT. Write down the key components of effective prompt engineering to use in your own prompts.
Think about the concept of “Einstein in your basement” described in the video.
How could you creatively use AI to streamline tasks, enhance decision-making, or even introduce innovative solutions in your work? How might embracing AI as a daily tool change how you approach problems and generate solutions?
Note: We will cover these questions as the course goes on, but get creative and start thinking about it.
