This class will describe the artificial intelligence (AI) platforms ChatGPT and Gemini, how they work, how to get started as a generative AI user, and how to write effective AI prompts. It will also discuss samples of AI output and describe downsides, ethical considerations, and fraud warnings associated with the use of AI. The class will conclude with a discussion about ways that class attendees can use ChatGPT to do fun things (e.g., create personal caricatures, trivia questions, or a birthday poem for a friend) and perform tasks in daily life.
