AI systems are already writing commercials, passing exams, and exploring options to destroy humanity. At the same time, more companies are announcing plans to seek "experts" in generative models or directly replace jobs with AI. If you want to be part of the first group, you should take advantage of this free course on Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT aimed at developers.
At 00:01 (Pacific time or UTC-8) on May 2, all workers represented by the Writers Guild of America went on strike. Negotiations have several conflict points, and one of them is AI: studios want to use more generative models, and writers are demanding its regulation. Added to that are the latest statements from IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, who anticipated that in the next five years, the company could replace nearly 7,800 positions with artificial intelligence.
The clash between work and generative models seems inevitable, but not a few believe that a kind of middle ground will emerge, turning AI into assistance tools or integrated resources. In that direction points a new free course organized by OpenAI and DeepLearning.AI, which will teach "Prompt Engineering" for ChatGPT.
"Prompt Engineering" for ChatGPT: New Free Course
In general, there is a lot of material focused on the use of the official ChatGPT interface, but the situation is very different for developers who want to create applications and take advantage of API access to these new models. The course aims to convey basic principles of prompting, optimization and text analysis (inferring), transformation (whether to a different format or language), and expansion. The course will also include the creation of a custom chatbot using a language model.
Its official page indicates that the material is aimed at beginners, and the only requirement is a basic understanding of Python. However, anyone can join to review details. In a matter of days, more than 200,000 people have already registered. Since it is a relatively short course (1 hour) and with free access for a limited time, I think it's not a bad idea to take a closer look.
