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. The course will give you a primer that covers what Generative AI is, basic prompt engineering, and how you can innovate with Generative AI. You will learn the ACHIEVE framework for using Generative AI to innovate in a way that augments and amplifies human creativity and problem solving rather than supplanting people. You will learn how Generative AI is going to replace the GUI and programming as our dominant interface to computing and why you will be using it every day at work....

This course is just materials taken from the instructor's other courses and presented as a new course. If anything, this course should have been created and offered in a series before one takes the much better prompt engineering and advanced data analysis courses. The way that it has been done, however, offering this course as a new offering by cutting and pasting the other courses together, just seems like a lame attempt to keep offering more courses.

A really strong primer to GenAI through the lens of ChatGPT. If you are new to Jules' courses and GenAI, start here. If you are a quite familiar with ChatGPT, remember this is a primer and you are not the target audience.

A Transformative Journey into Generative AI with Prof. Jules White I recently had the pleasure of completing the "Generative AI Primer" course, and I couldn't be more impressed with the overall experience. Professor Jules White has not only mastered the art of teaching but has a genuine passion for the subject matter that shines through in every lecture. Professor White's engaging and dynamic teaching style made even the most complex concepts accessible and enjoyable. His enthusiasm for generative AI was contagious, making the learning process not only informative but also genuinely exciting. It's evident that he possesses a deep knowledge of the field, and his ability to convey that knowledge to learners is exceptional. The course itself is thoughtfully organized, presenting a logical progression of topics that build upon each other. This structure allowed me to grasp foundational principles before delving into more advanced concepts, creating a seamless and comprehensive learning experience. The user-friendly interface made enrollment straightforward, and the platform's accessibility further contributed to the overall positive learning journey. What sets this course apart is its balance between theoretical understanding and practical application. Professor White provides real-world examples and case studies, allowing students to see the concepts in action. This hands-on approach solidified my understanding and provided me with the confidence to apply generative AI principles in my own projects. In conclusion, the Generative AI Primer course led by Professor Jules White is nothing short of transformative. If you're looking for a course that combines engaging instruction, passion for the subject, and a user-friendly platform, this is the one for you. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in diving into the fascinating world of generative AI.

very informative I love this quick overview of what LLM like Chatgpt can do, and I like the fact that he emphasizes that it is not artificial intelligence but augmentative intelligence. It makes you want to get to know more about the LLM and how they can help us as individuals, and use it took our advantage and grow.

It is always very rewarding to learn with Professor White. I love his courses; they are fascinating and engaging and teach so much. At least I have the illusion that I understand something about AI. I can recommend all of them. If I were not already an AI enthusiast, I would be after these courses.

Another great course from Jules White, my favorite professor on Coursera! Want to learn more about AI? I suggest taking this course before taking professor White's Prompt Engineering course. "Generative AI Primer" is a great introduction to AI and professor White's teaching style.

I very good introduction to generative AI and doing a fantastic job in "demystifying" generative AI. Cause it is a tool and if you use the tool wrong, you will get bad results. But if you use the tool right, then you profit from its power.
