In this article, you’ll learn the art of effective prompting, with an emphasis on doing it ‘well’. I recently completed a course on this subject through Coursera, and I’m excited to share my insights, knowledge, and notes with you. Here is a link to the course.
The course itself didn’t exactly blow my mind—I knew a fair bit already. But it’s an absolute must for anyone starting from square one. It’s like a friend walking you through the nuts and bolts of it all, no info-dumps, just clear, logical steps. Read More
The best part? Getting to interact with a really cool app designed for hands-on practice. This app not only lets you experiment by crafting prompts, it’s all about diving in and getting your hands dirty instead of just passively consuming content through videos or texts—way more fun, if you ask me.
It had a user-friendly interface with commands on the left side and space for writing prompts on the right. What made it especially engaging was the immediate feedback from the chat responses, allowing you to see how your inputs worked in real time.
And hey, I got thrown for a loop! Prompting images? That was a whole new game. Ever thought repeating ‘cute’ a bunch of times in a prompt makes the AI take it super seriously? Imagine typing ‘cute, cute, cute, cute cat’ and getting the most adorable furball picture back. Yep, that’s a thing, and I’m here for it.
Delving into AI prompts is more than just about tech—it’s about engaging creatively and seeing real-time results. Ready to dive deeper? Check out the link below to access my detailed course notes. They’re packed with insights and practical tips to help you master the art of effective prompting. Get your hands dirty, experiment, and discover the fun side of AI!
