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....

Found the course has given me a greater insight into the world of LLM, how they think and the number of other LLM’s that sit behind ChatGPT. Enjoyed the Coursera platform as a positive learning tool.

The course was well presented and mind expanding, in a creative way! Thank you! The course could be enhanced with engaging content for visual/graphical learners. For example: Personification of the AI and human interactions as actual characters, as in a cartoon illustration.

Thanks again!

Dr. White did an outstanding job at providing a wealth of information in an organized manner. He also provides links to other valuable papers on the topic of prompt engineering. I am astounded by what can actually be achieved by using ChatGPT as a tool as opposed to using it as a search engine!

Thank you, Dr. White, you did a great job explaining how LLM's are used and how we can unlock human creativity through the use of apps like ChatGPT. The day I completed the course I put the new knowledge to use and completed a 8-hr task in minutes using the Persona pattern and a Tail prompt!

The first half is extremely easy. It could have been slightly more challenging. Social media content already teaches half these techniques but you might want to do this course to explore some complex use cases. If you can be creative with what is taught here, this course is worth doing.
