Event Summary
ChatGPT has created an explosion of interest in AI since its release, and a large number of other similar efforts. Companies and consumers have been using AI for a while to analyze, classify, predict, translate, etc., but the new branch of generative AI tools allows humans to actually generate new works. There are generative AI tools for creating images, sounds, and video, but ChatGPT and other LLMs are so powerful because everyone can relate to reading and writing text, to conversational language, to crafting prose for articles, reports, essays, user guides, and more. LLMs give us the ability to create the kind of content we consume, and that we need to create for others to consume. However, they are not perfect, and they can be used more effectively with careful prompting, fine-tuning, and more. Join us for this discussion of LLMs and how we can use them and make them better for work and other practical projects. Bring your laptop if you want, and join us as we become more effective users of ChatGPT, Bard, and other LLMs.
