Downloading Creativity

Hello friend,

This edition is truly going to be a Thanksgiving treat! What you learn this week is fun and applicable every day as we dive into utilizing natural language processing for idea generation 🚀 

This weekly email will teach you about AI tech you can apply daily. Remember, you are one AI tool away from an A on that assignment you’ve been dreading.

Class is in session.

TOOLS
Choose your AI Assistant.

Your brainstorming assistant. Generate ideas, draft content, and get feedback. Play any role and see many perspectives.

ChatGPT: GPT-3.5 is very powerful and for premium users, GPT-4 is multi-modal, internet-ready, comes with plugins, and a built-in Python interpreter.

Google Bard: A free LLM with a mobile app that comes equipped with camera functionality!

Microsoft Bing: New Bing is built into the Bing browser and it is actively ready to search the web for you.

STRATEGY
My 1-year culmination of daily AI practice ✅ 

For the past year, I have used ChatGPT religiously. I am on this tool every single day actively for multiple hours a day.

In my experience I recommend reading What is ChatGPT Doing… and Why Does it Work by Stephen Wolfram and taking Vanderbilt’s online Prompt Engineering with ChatGPT course.

Here is what I learned
Following solid ChatGPT Prompt Engineering principles, utilize these strategies.

• Pretend ChatGPT is your ever-present assistant that knows everything. 

  • If there is anything you ever take from this newsletter I recommend this be it. 

• Use ChatGPT to simulate different options of potential solutions.

• Drill down on any task and implement solutions step by step.

• Use long conversations with ChatGPT and revisit old threads to utilize again and again.

True power comes from applying these methods together and implementing them as one overarching framework for utilizing ChatGPT.

EXAMPLE
Simplify and succeed at complex tasks with an AI Assistant.

Step 1. Identify a complex task that needs to be completed, for this example, we will use completing a project with a coworker or teammate.

Use your LLM of choice (like ChatGPT) to break down the goal into action items.

Step 2. Follow solid ChatGPT Prompt Engineering principles like “Setting the Scene” to specify that you want any number of different variations with different tones based on the target audience.

Step 3. Download some creativity! Splinter off different ideas into infinite possibilities. Select one or multiple of the different solutions and expand upon them further.

Keep the conversation going to rinse and repeat!

This is the process that I reuse multiple times every day to break down goals into action steps and then attack each step using ChatGPT as my assistant.
