SUMMARY:Generative AI - The Essentials - Conversations with GenAI
DESCRIPTION:SHARPGrads Elective. \n\nWhile we don't want to 
 anthropomorphize GenAI any more than it already is\, there is something to 
 be said for communicating with GenAI tools in a more human conversational 
 manner. After all\, conversational AI is a key component in most GenAI 
 tools and the way they are designed to work is based on machine learning 
 and machine communication being more like how we believe humans learn and 
 communicate. Just as there are skills and techniques one can learn to 
 communicate more effectively with our fellow humans\, there are also skills 
 and techniques one can learn and apply to communicating and conversing with 
 GenAI tools. The popular technical term for this is prompt engineering. 
 During this session we will consider five essentials related to 
 communicating effectively with GenAI tools:\n\n\n	GenAI tools are designed 
 to use conversational AI to both understand our inquiries and respond in an 
 understandable manner\n	There is both a skill and an art to effectively 
 communicating with GenAI tools\n	GenAI tools are designed to expect the 
 process of an iterative conversation\, not one-off key-word 
 requests\n	Providing key elements in a GenAI prompt can significantly 
 increase the likelihood of valuable responses while minimizing the 
 possibilities of incorrect and/or imprecise returns\n	The more we 
 communicate with GenAI tools\, the more we develop an understanding of how 
 they function and the more they learn how we communicate\n
