TOOLS
Choose your AI assistant 🤖 

ChatGPT: Free powerful and accurate generative AI that offers a premium paid experience.

Google Bard: Free LLM with internet access via Google Search. The mobile app comes with camera functionality for a multimodal experience.

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

LESSON
Learn anything, in any amount of time ⏱️ 

Using your LLM of choice (like ChatGPT) you can educate yourself to any level of mastery on a particular subject with just one prompt.

When you follow prompt engineering principles it’s as simple as (1) asking a question followed by (2) choosing an answer delivery method.

• Ask the question and remember to “Set the Scene.” (IMPORTANT)

• Choose an answer delivery method, this can be a story, conversation, timeline, or a simple description.

Remember that if the answers that you receive aren’t adequate, you can generate new answers immediately. If you don’t understand a concept, ask to learn it differently!

• Use ChatGPT to simulate different options of potential solutions.

EXAMPLE
Teaching quantum entanglement in 1 minute ⚛️

Learning anything, even quantum entanglement, can be simple. Read the demonstration ChatGPT conversation here.

1. Set the Scene.

2. Ask your LLM to teach you anything in the necessary timeframe.

If you have questions (as any scholar would 🧑‍🎓 ) continue the conversation.

Remember, depending on what LLM tool you use there are multimodal functionalities such as web search and image recognition that can aid in this process.

THE NEWS
Harvard thinks students should use AI…

A report from Anthology & Chegg finds that despite over half of US students believing that AI tool use will increase in the next six months, only 38% use them even on a monthly basis. Sounds like reading A Machine keeps you ahead of the game.

Harvard’s recent “AI & Education” event with Axim Collaborative brought out the stars (such as Sal Kahn of Kahn Academy) to highlight AI’s role in educational equity.
