Boosting research and writing is a pro that plenty of generative AI bots like ChatGPT claim they can do. In practice, it’s not so easy, since you’ll need to figure out the pitfalls of prompt engineering and tweaking your results to actually get a clean, well-composed answer in response.
LinkedIn is here to help, with a course that landed smack at the top of the social platform’s top ten list of the best courses available on its LinkedIn Learning website. Led by Dave Birss, the course will take users through how to interact with generative AI bots with prompts. You’ll avoid getting bogged down in technical knowledge, but you’ll learn fascinating facts. Did you know saying “please” gets you better results when interacting with an AI?
Check out the full course over at LinkedIn, where it’s available free, as long as you sign up for a free month-long trial.
For now, at least, AI technology is a helpful tool, and learning a few things about it can easily put you well ahead of the majority of workers out there. If you’re anticipating a change in your career, are job-seeking now, or just want to have something to point to when your next annual review rolls around, you can definitely do a lot worse than one of the courses listed above.
But if you want an even quicker catch-up, we’ve got you covered. Check out some of our previous AI coverage here at Tech.co to learn more quick tips on how to write the best prompts, which GPT bots are actually helpful, or even how to create a resume template with AI.
Just don’t forget the downsides to AI: You should always be wary of the possibility for hallucinations and the cybersecurity risks or legal problems that can accompany them. AI might be the hot new trend, but it’s far from a perfect technology.
