oh okay good morning everybody uh I’m in Los Angeles so here it’s good morning um really really super super excited to uh finally kick this thing off um some of the folks From Success resources are joining us today and uh yeah the time has finally come so we’ll start with a little welcome to AI superhuman hey everyone welcome to AI superhuman I am super excited to be starting this community with you you are going to be learning about AI I always forget the call I wouldn’t hey everyone welcome to AI superhuman

00:58

I am super excited to be starting this community with you you are going to be learning about AI what it is but more importantly how to use it we will become masters of chat GPT mid-journey artists and prompt engineers we will learn which tools are the best and easiest to use we will learn the backdoor expert tricks to get the best performance out of those tools and we will learn how to combine those tools in creative ways to produce astounding results and to automate our workflows so with that let’s Jump Right

01:27

In and get started welcome to AI superhuman so that’s just a little bit of picking things off with AI I also want to um do something else so let me fix this save this so um I have turned on closed captioning so for some of you being able to see the words on the bottom of the zoom screen may be helpful that’s a little bit of AI doing voice recognition for us also if you’ll notice there’s a little arrow next to the closed caption button on the right side if you click on that upward facing Arrow you’ll see that

02:22

you’re able to actually Translate the text and you can choose your own language if that’s useful for you to see it in Spanish or Japanese or German or whatever and the the translations actually not half bad at this point it’s actually fairly useful and it will do that fairly real time for you um so for some of you that may be uh useful so we’ll try and use different AI tools to improve our results and that’s one of them that’s available to us so um you’ll see that’s on also if you

03:04

click on that up Arrow there should be a um view full transcript button and if you do that you’ll see the full transcript on the right hand side I think of your screen so I think that’s available to you but anyway we have the closed captions and the Translating function available for your use so there’s another tool that we’re going to be using that I want to um introduce you all to right away and it’s out of the way and hey everyone welcome it’s this so uh if you look on the top of my screen you’ll see I think

04:01

I hope it’s not hidden we’ll just make sure this uh p-o-l-l-e-v uh p-o-l-l-e-v.com Slash sj395 so if you can open up a browser and open up p-o-l-l-e-v.com sj395 and enter in your name and press continue then you should be able to see this map and for those of you who these dots are from yesterday the people that participated yesterday so anybody that’s new today if you can click on that map and let me know where you are we’re going to be using different variations of this tool um to communicate and gather information

05:01

uh during this course so and I’m gonna go into the chat and type this in to everyone p-o-l-l-e-v.com slash sj395 so that should be in the chat for you as well if you go there you’ll input a username and then you’ll click continue and then you should be able to see I’ll just make sure again that this is now activated perfect so you should be able to see it now great we have some people from Africa Europe India is with us today namaste

06:05

we have some people coming in from Asia India Europe Singapore Australia I see the Netherlands coming in awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome Malaysia Singapore that area Germany Japan is joining with us today again that’s really great oh we have somebody from Dubai it looks like Papua New Guinea somebody else from Australia awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome uh I think that’s the Philippines it’s just joined us cool cool cool cool cool cool thank you so much Canada is with us today awesome awesome

07:10

okay very cool so um I want to go to the next slide here and get an idea of your level of computer experience so the data that you’re seeing on your screen this is um from yesterday so if you’re joining with us for the first time I will open up this poll what is your level of computer experience and I will activate that and at the same URL you should now be able to see this screen so trying to get a little bit of idea of where everybody is starting from so if you can make a selection here pretty good looking bell curve we have

08:12

just a few total beginners we have a few kind of programmer engineers most people fairly skilled at working in the computer or just a little bit either side of that awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome so I just want to make sure that everybody is able to access this tool because we’re going to be using it for different things throughout the course um the URL is always going to be the same so you might want to bookmark that thank you awesome awesome awesome awesome okay so I want to start out our discussion together with this rather

08:59

interesting slide that says we are all ignorant so um you know I I’ve been involved with AI in different capacities on and off since 1985. I’m ignorant and uh you’re all at different levels and you’re all ignorant too and the reason that I say this is every morning I wake up and there are new AI Tools in my inbox it’s changing so fast and like take let’s just take DPT for an example um how many of you have played around with chat DPT a little bit pretty much everyone most of you okay great so even open AI

09:44

the engineers at open AI do not know what chat DPT can and cannot do this is important to understand they actually do not know what it can and cannot do they have tested some of what it can and cannot do but it’s read they’ve basically had chat DPT read a vast amount of documentation books research papers and so forth and they don’t actually understand everything that it has learned from that and so people are discovering like daily new things that it can do I saw one the other day it was really interesting

10:29

um somebody was trying to get uh GPT to do a better job at producing some music and somebody said well why don’t you just have it write it in MIDI and midi is a format that’s used for synthesizers and other things in the musical world a lot and nobody had really realized that it’s read so much stuff that it’s actually learned how to write a midi yeah it’s like oh didn’t know we could do that and so every day we’re learning new things about how this technology can be used and and what it is and so we’re

11:09

all a little bit ignorant and I I think that’s important to recognize I’m going to be learning as we go through this process you’re going to be learning as we go through this process we’re going to be learning from each other as we go through this process because everyone in the community is going to be trying things with AI and discovering things that it can do and the best way to get it to do those things and so I I want to proceed in a Spirit of humility it’s not like I know everything about

11:39

this because nobody does so I I hope that we can all agree on that that we’re all ignorant about different parts of this and we’re going to be discovering together so that brings me to my next slide which is we will figure out this mess together and um I quite like this picture it’s a very complicated mess of wires and gadgets and this picture was also drawn by AI it’s quite amazing the level of detail that AI art is is getting into right now so um we’re going to open up the next poll here give me just a moment and I will

12:26

get that activated um what software do you use now and that’s now activated so um with no spaces um if you can just and you can answer this question as many times as you like what are the different software uh that you use now you can just type in as many of those because I’m sure you use more than one program and this will give us an idea the more people that answer with a certain piece of software the bigger it becomes in the word uh mix I have a lot of office we have a lot of people using Google word Chrome Zoom

13:13

[Music] Excel got some Spotify people some PowerPoint filmora DaVinci we’ve got some people doing some video editing Vimeo iMovie so there’s some of that people doing their online banking everybody’s got a browser Safari Chrome we have some of that going on tap GPT always a little bit surprised that it doesn’t come up higher in the list canva is popular some WhatsApp obviously because most of you are in the group confluence okay awesome awesome awesome thank you for

14:16

that um gives me some idea of kind of where we’re at and looks like a lot of people in Microsoft obvious office obviously which is not surprising okay so the next thing that I want to do is I want to set up a common kind of Baseline of things that we have installed and as we go along the our toolbox is going to increase over time every every week that we meet there are going to be a few more things that we’re going to add so I’m not going to try and do it all today because that would be like overwhelming

15:02

and you’d be like ah there’s just all this stuff so we’re going to try and get a few things that we have in common so the first thing um we asked you in the email that we sent out to make sure you have Google Chrome installed and I want to talk a little bit about why um specifically we want to use Google Chrome Google Chrome is really kind of the most popular browser that’s out there and what that means is that browsers allow us to have extensions and an extension is a little piece of software that gets installed in your

15:47

browser that allows your browser to do some things that it wouldn’t do before okay so if you are to look at my let me pull up my chat GPT here for a moment actually I’m gonna share my screen first so when we when we are working with AI we’ll have workflows that will use different programs so we’ll be using multiple programs to get a single result so one of the things that I can do with my extensions is like I have a an AI demo that I do and it has 15 different websites that are part of that demo

16:38

and I can open all 15 of those together in one click so this is a really big Improvement in my productivity to be able to do this I can close every tab that I have you can see in the window I have no Google Chrome tabs open I can open one tab and I can restore my entire workspace with one click and so I’ve got all these different things right here at my fingertips so we want to be using Google Chrome because the extensions that we’re going to be using are for Google Chrome and let me just give you a a little bit

17:26

of an idea of some of the things that that will allow us to do so say I go to Wikipedia and just for sake of argument because he’s been in the news a lot I um I open up a Wikipedia article about Donald Trump and it’s obviously a lot of information it’s really really long and say I don’t want to read all of this I mean you can see it’s really really really really really long and so I don’t want to read all of that and so I want to use AI to help me and my work to help me to be able to read this

18:15

faster DPT is now writing a summary of this Wikipedia article for me picking out the highlights the important points and now I’m done it’s taken all of this and turned it into this and so those are going to be some of the kind of tools that we’re going to be using so that we get access to different AI Tools in different contexts that are going to make our work more efficient and it’s going to be easier to discuss that and go through that if we all have the same Google Chrome browser that we’re using

19:06

so for the purposes of these discussions we want to use Google Chrome so I don’t have to say oh on Firefox you can use this and on Modzilla you can use this and on Safari this and we’ll just get overwhelmed pretty quickly with that discussion so I just want to standardize the browser so I hope you’ve all got Google Chrome installed and if you haven’t you might want to do that while we’re actually here talking so the next thing in our workspace that we’re going to do is I want to make sure

19:38

that you can all use chat GPT um now I know we got to talk about that a little bit because there may be places that you are where it’s hard to access so um vpns can sometimes help although they create some problems of Their Own um sometimes there will be apps that you can use that to access to GPT I know Hong Kong on and off has an app that works um there’s a similar program called perplexity which I will also type in the chat which has similar features to chat GPT and may be available to you iftat GPT is not available Where You Are

20:46

so um if you are in a region that has restrictions on chat GPT go online and type in how to access chat DPT from wherever you happen to be and I’m sure people will for most places with a possible exception of mainland China will have figured out some way to get access to that but I’m going to be using uh chat GPT a fair amount and so I want to talk about the really easy way to get access to that which is this page right here and so I’m going to take this link and I am going to copy it into hopefully into our chat

21:36

and I think it would be useful if you bookmark this it’s a really easy way to start new sessions on chat GPT you just click on try chat GPT right here and it will open up a new chat now if you have this is something we need to talk about a little bit okay so chat GPT um has conversations that are either called a chat or a session okay and tat GPT remembers session data so if you’re having a conversation with chat GPT it’s going to remember the context of your conversation to some degree so if you say write me a marketing plan

22:28

it write some marketing plan and then you say well uh give me a five minute speech to pitch me to this box to pitch this to my boss it’s going to know you’re still talking about the marketing plan if you’re in the same session and the same conversation now sometimes you want to start a new conversation and there is a button on the top of your on the top left of chat gpd’s browser that says new chat that will start a new session and you can also always start one from here if you click try chat GPT from here

23:09

we’ll always open a new conversation also having this page they include additional information about chat GPT on this page which sometimes gets updated so I like to have this page available so I’m pretty sure that you can all access chat GPT today I want to talk about three extensions that we’re going to put into Chrome and the first one is called text Blaze text Blaze is super cool so when I’m using chat GPT I want you to just um look at this so say I want to generate some business ideas watch this because it’s going to be

23:58

really fast I’ve just input my whole prompt and I want business ideas for the fitness industry and I want those responses in Japanese I’m already done it’s super fast and the reason is that when we create we’ll create prompts The Prompt is basically what you’re asking the AI to do and you’ll find a prompt that works really well and you want to use it over and over again for the workflow that you do so maybe you’re in customer service and you’re half of your job is writing responses to customer complaints

24:43

and so you’ll create a prompt that’s really great for writing emails in response to customer complaints so let me give you an example of that back to the best desktop so I have a prompt I call a customer complaint emails that I’ve created this thing’s still working okay great and it says right in a professional tone use a high school level vocabulary pretend you are the most empathetic person in the world write an email responding to a customer claim or complaint reference our customer our corporate philosophy of the customer is

25:27

always right at the end of the email add the words I sincerely look forward to assisting you in any way that I can the length of the email should be 750 words the sender’s name is James Skinner quality leader AI seminar.global the nature of the claim is so um I can say the customer did not receive an email link or our online Zoom session that should be online Zoom session the recipient’s name is and I’m just seeing one here Melissa Porter and I’m not going to have that in Japanese boom and my work is already getting done for

26:21

me I would like to start by apologizing for the inconvenience you have experienced we at AI seminar.global pride ourselves on our commitment to our corporate philosophy of the customer is always right we understand how important it is for our customers to receive timely and accurate information and we are truly sorryly that we did not meet your expectations in this instance da best regards James Skinner quality leader AI seminar global and then I can just go on to my next email of the day and I’ve got that prompt already in and I can tell you

26:58

that typing that over and over again or having to go somewhere else and copy that and bring it in is a pain in the butt and this is what um text Blaze is going to do for a class so if you um go into your browser and you type text Blaze you will find it comes up here and from this page I don’t want to go to dashboard because I’m already in here we’re going to go to get started with text Blaze and I’m going to copy this link into the chat for everyone so if you go to this link you will see if you scroll down just a

28:04

little bit from this Blaze dot today slash Guide Slash Quick Start it will be install extent extension there’ll be this little button here install extension so if you click there you’ll be able to install this extension into your Chrome and over time we will be showing you how to use that so foreign the next one that we want to install is called tabox and tabbox is the thing that allows me to instantly open all of my tabs relative to a certain task so if you go into your browser and you search for tab box

28:50

there’ll be this thing Google tabox save and and share tab groups and you open this up mine says remove from chrome years will probably say install into Chrome and if you just click there you can install tabox so I will also copy this link over into hopefully into our chat there we go so that is the link for installing tabbox the third and final one that I want you to install today is this uh this link here which is chat on ai.

29:44

org if we open that up it’ll say add to Chrome it’s free and what this does is this puts chat GPT into your search engine so you can use chat GPT on Chrome you don’t have to be on Bing to use chat jpt so those are the three extensions that we’re going to want everyone to install are we kind of all good so far we got the links okay and once again to remind everyone within the next two days we will be sharing a link of this session so you can go back and review if you have to and so now I just want to start with

30:36

these first two extensions and show you a little bit how to use them text Blaze will change your life so the thing you need to understand about text Blaze is text Blaze is an input assistance tool within Chrome so you can use it within chat DPT but you can also use it anywhere else in Chrome that you are I find it particularly useful for two things prompting tap GPT and prompting AI art so if you come up with a a prompt for your art and you find it creates a certain style and you want to be able to replicate that style because that style works with

31:17

your brand for example well you can save that entire prompt and get it with a keystroke and so we’re actually going to go in and do that right now so let me open up my browser and just bring this down a little bit and we’ll go to text place so if you actually go to text Blaze and go to your dashboard this is what you’ll see okay and if you’re having trouble finding that type in text Blaze go to text Blaze and then where it says go to dashboard you just go to dashboard okay now there’s a plus button and this

32:09

plus button is how you add a new block of text that you want it to remember so it will come up it says new snippet here you can rename this so I’m going to rename this um AI superhuman test and then this is the shortcut so what you typically use a slash here you might want to use two slashes and then just some text so I’m going to call this aish and I’m going to put in like uh uh please give me 10 ideas of new AI Concepts I can share with the AI superhuman immunity now it’s already saved you don’t need to

33:13

save it or anything it auto saves whenever you do this um so ignoring continue and I’ll just do that great so now I’m going to come over to chat GPT and I’m going to tip slide slash a i s h and you’ll see that that prompt that I just created has been inserted and I can go like this so if every day I every day I wake up and I’m looking for new ideas to share with the community I can just type slash aish and off we go so that’s how we use text Blaze so you can see I have

34:18

slash zero for business idea slash one for product name slash two for Branding slash three for marketing plan slash four for tagline so um this is how I input the prompts that I recycle any questions about that seemed like a pretty straightforward user interface pretty easy to understand very very useful and remember once again you can use that anywhere inside your browser so if for example and let’s just do an example of this let’s go and look at AI art so I’ll open up my my mid-journey so say I’ve created this really cool style

35:15

I quite like this uh this style here so I’m gonna see if I can get that to open up in Discord sometimes I have to click this more than once today looks like one of those days open in Discord okay so I have this big long prompt that’s a long long prompt and you’ll notice that the first part of this is a kind and loving God bathed in the Glorious light of the universe looking him on his children his creations with deep and unimaginable love this is the part that changes the rest of this is a description

36:09

of the style that Michelangelo used when he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel the figures are idealized the strong muscular bodies and expressive faces he’s using water-based pigments there’s all of these things so I can copy this I can go into text place I can create a new snippet and I can call this Michael Angelo Style and I can go over here and I’ll just call that Mas so then when I go back into mid-journey and I want to create another image like this I go to my imagine prompt and I say okay what do I want it

37:04

to draw um the serpent in the garden of Eden and then I’m going to type slash Michelangelo Style and okay I’m going to show you a cheat trick so mid Journey doesn’t like you to copy stuff into its prompts sometimes like if you try and copy from Microsoft Word and stuff it will reject it and then you go what do I do so I’m going to show you I’m going to open up a new tab and I’m going to go slash Michelangelo oh really you’re gonna do this to me but I not got that right oh I didn’t input the text that would be

38:08

the problem okay now okay so I’ve actually used this trick if you if you find that stuff doesn’t copyright from somewhere you can actually just put it in your browser search select all copy and come back and it will copy it right so anyway now I’ve got all this set up now I can go into mid-journey art and my whole prompt is here boom so I can just sit here and create images all day in this style of Michelangelo that has become my corporate brand does that make sense and so instead I don’t have to have this

39:10

giant file where I go and I’m looking for it and trying to copy it over all day long it’s much more efficient the the next one I want to show you how to use is tab box and this is just super super useful so can you see where my cursor is here you have your search bar here right to the right of your search bar is this little icon and this is where your extensions are in Chrome so if I click here I can see all my Chrome extensions I’m going to open up tabox and it says search or add collections so if I have all of these browser tabs open

39:56

and I give this a name like AI super human demo too and I I add this it’s going to appear in my list now I’m not going to add this one because it’s already in my list as AI super demo so if I close all my tabs and how did I close my sorry my screen share and I go here and I open up my tab box and I go to AI superhuman demo and I click on this all 15 tabs open together if I want to do some a workflow that I’ve created for creating AI Avatar videos I go in I open up my tab box I go to Avatar video and voice I click

40:46

on this and that whole workflow opens together which is super super useful I go in I open tab box and I want to go do my MIT AI coursework I click on that and all the tabs that are related to what I’m currently doing at MIT all open together and so that’s how you use tabox any kind of questions about that so one of the things that I want to point out is that as we go on this AI Journey part of this journey is going to be good getting good at AI tools and part of this journey is going to be getting good at tools that are not

41:33

actually AI text Blaze is not an AI tool it’s a dumb tool it just remembers that these keystrokes should turn into this text but it’s a very useful tool in the context of combining that with AI to make our work more efficient so there’ll be a lot of little things like that the next thing that I want to do is look at the left part of what I’ve got here on setup so I want you to create a document somewhere it can be an MS Word file or a PowerPoint or a note whatever you use to take notes is fine but I want you to start creating a list

42:17

of the programs that you use because we’re going to be using a lot of tools and it can get pretty easy to forget what tools you actually have available to you and so I want you to just actually have a place where you just say okay now I have Google Chrome as a tool I have chat DPT as a tool those are in my toolbox and I have some extensions and add-ins I have text Blaze I have uh chat on AI I have tab box these are the extensions that I’ve got that I can use and then I want you to start creating a place

42:57

where you can store and save your best prompts so when you find a prompt that’s really useful have a place where you can store that um most of mine just go straight into text place but I actually do have a place where I have some more involved prompts um that are really cool and I I store those this is really super important this next one as we go through this process there are a lot of tools and some of those tools you’re going to find really useful and you’re going to go wow this this helps my work so much

43:35

and some of them you’re going to want the paid version most of the tools there’s a free version and it’s fine as far as it goes but if you find something that’s really useful for your work or your life you may want the paid version and most of the paid versions are going to be subscriptions they’re going to say we want seven dollars a month or we want 14 a month or we want twenty dollars a month or whatever it is and you’re probably going to subscribe to some of those when you find that they’re really useful for you

44:04

make a list because you will forget what you’re subscribed to and you will keep getting charged for it and it’s useful to have a list so that every couple of months you can open up the list and say well actually there’s three things in here that I’m not using maybe I should cancel them so I find that’s just a practical matter uh really useful the other thing is have a place to write down your passwords because you’re going to forget them and it’s just really annoying and I’m sure some of you will have that and some

44:43

of you will not but you really need to start having a place where you keep all your passwords okay um the other little piece of housekeeping so this is mostly just housekeeping as we get started is when we’re on the call as much as possible if it’s at all possible um we’d like to have your cameras on this allows me to like look at you guys and see if your eyes have glazed over and it’s like I have no idea what’s going on or like you’re nodding you’re keeping up like I can kind of see how you’re

45:30

reacting and we’ll get a better result the more that I can kind of interact with you guys and see you and that we can connect uh together it’s going to help me to serve you better um I understand there’ll be situations where it’s not practical for you to have your camera on that that’s fine um but just as much as possible that I find that that’s really useful I want to have a human connection with you guys okay so that brings us up to our next point what do you want to learn through this

46:12

course and um I’m actually just going to do this live with you guys so we’re not going to go to the poll um just raise your hands and let me know what you want to get out of this feel free um Martina you can unmute thank you oh hi hi um we’re super new to this so bear with us and so really um we wanted to know how we could use um a function for example I used chat GPT a few weeks ago to search for uh my faces it’s not like coming in to you to um to put together a letter and it was really really helpful but the background

47:07

of it was still there as I pasted it onto Pages you know so I wondered is there a tool that I can use to take away the background do you understand yeah I do so um chat DPT has some really annoying uh things about it and one of the most annoying things about it is that it doesn’t have a copy button okay right like there’s no button where you like click copy and it copies the text right and and most programs have a copy button and it’s like really annoying and so you you go in and you select the text and

47:45

you drag down and sometimes it works well and sometimes it doesn’t and how many have had this frustration right like that’s just like really stupid you’re like you guys just got 10 billion dollars from Microsoft give us a damn copy button um and this is one of the reasons why I’ve asked you guys to all use Chrome this is actually on our schedule for next week but since you’ve asked the question I will uh I will bring it up and I will share my desktop when I go to let me when I go to chat GPT you will see that I have a copy button

48:34

and not only do I have a copy button I can copy it regular to the clipboard I can copy it as HTML or I can copy it as markdown this is called super useful right and you will see that when I go down to the bottom um we’ll just talk about this I have some things up in the top right tone and writing style and language so I can say like I always want it to write in Russian I always wanted to write in Portuguese right and this is instead of like having to like write that prompt out every time um you will see that I have an export

49:20

button I can export this as a html text Json or markdown you’ll see I have a button over here that has a whole bunch of the prompts that I use just the most often rewrite paraphrase explain clarify expand summarize Japanese please put it in Spanish so if I click on Spanish then it’s going to take the last response from chat GPT and translate it into Spanish for me so how did I do that well I did that with a Google extension and this extension we’re going to go over it again next week but it’s called

50:05

super power chat GPT [Laughter] so they’re going to be some tools like that as we go along so we’ll hope that uh everyone’s going to get those kind of things that they need out of this uh can I ask is it impossible then for me to copy the text from chat topt and then put it over onto another page as if in letter style do you understand it’s just going to be normal text paste because if I use the superpower chat GPT that’s yeah then you just click on the copy button you click on paste there won’t be any background or anything

50:45

they’ll just be text okay great yes Jim Lee what are you hoping to get out of the program yes I’m muted now so what am I looking to get out of it it’s um working more efficiently creating more things with AI and helping other people be more efficient so let’s say you have a business um yeah and help them be more efficient all right in the nutshell so creating a business with AI yeah great oh other businesses yeah thanks um my background actually my longest career is in management consulting and helping CEOs improve their businesses so

51:28

I hope to be able to engage with you over time on the on the business side as well as as the tools uh Ohana have I said that right yeah that’s correct hello James hello everybody nice to meet you nice to meet you too nice to see you again all of you some of you at least from other other webinars uh my intention with all this AI technology is uh first of all because I’m trying to uh hello Gosha I’m trying to build an online presence and um normally I’m I’m quite a creative person but sometimes I have I can I feel

52:11

like I block I block in finding ideas I block in um writing them you know taking take them from the scratch sometimes I don’t feel like I simply don’t feel like doing it and I have the feeling that chat gbt and all these AI tools will help me to generate a lot of new ideas and create content faster and I think that’s an amazing opportunity right that we have I I actually want to comment about about this one because this is a very important comment so the in using AI one of the most powerful uses of AI is in

52:51

idea generation and that seems strange right that that creativity should be its strongest thing but what we find in working with people and trying to raise their efficiency and their productivity is zero to one is really hard it takes a lot of brain power it takes a lot of energy like how do you get the first idea right and once once you have the beginnings of an idea taking it from one to two to three uses a lot less energy and so what I want to encourage you all to start doing all of you is everything zero to one should be AI

53:33

everything before you start working on something ask AI to do it first now sorry that’s what I have the feeling that if I have already a base which is already created then of course I can go and plant my seeds and I can improve it and I can put my uh my own uh myself there well but uh it may not be the best response it may not be the best idea but it can help uh prime your brain to start working so like say you’re looking to start a new business and you go okay well um why don’t I just start by asking AI

54:16

um give me some business ideas what products are the most likely to be big sellers based on what is sold well in the past include a description of each product and value it as the customer the number of products the proposes I want seven I want ten doesn’t matter our industry is I’m just going to put in uh uh any sure here are 10 business ideas for products that have sold well in the past fitness trackers and multiple uh mobile accessories eco-friendly cleaning products wireless headphones meal delivery kits virtual event platforms

54:51

online tutoring Services pet grooming services and then I can say 10 more subscription boxes and also it’s like I hadn’t been thinking about the subscription boxes but that could be a cool business what could I do with that like um and I I live in Japan so maybe I could do like some subscription anime or you know and all of a sudden my creative juices are flowing and so using it to Prime that that’s going to be like super powerful uh Lydia and RAF paella yeah yeah hello everyone um and James and um yeah so I’m the ex

55:36

designer so I was pretty Keen to be a new course and um yeah I’m also working in a company for big clients so I also have to be aware about compliance yes and what can I do what should I maybe not do I mean there’s things that are obvious you showed us maturity and then you have you know the threat with all the posts and of course if you take a client and you’re working in a environment where it’s all confident I think that’s obvious that you wouldn’t uh yeah post there you would uh use some private chat

56:10

but like there would be more and I don’t know and I would really like to enhance what I’m doing I think it’s yeah I need it for my job so we’ll we’ll probably get to talk about this a little bit more but I’ll give you just a little bit of a primer on that um chat DPT currently doesn’t technically learn from what you do but it’s not to say that it might not in the future and so there there have been some companies that have expressed some concern about okay how do we you know and so one of the biggest

56:47

concerns so that I think there are two two obvious concerns that come up one is when you have really really confidential information um so say you’re apple and you’re talking about your development plans well you might not want to feed your development plans into a prompt yeah right you know you just like and no that’s got to be all on our internal systems only and so because I have a I have a nephew who’s a mechanical engineer at Apple and he can’t hardly hold a conversation with us he can’t tell us what he does yeah you

57:27

know um when he goes on an overseas business trip he can tell us what country he’s in it’s like they figured your family probably needs to know what country you’re in but that’s about it you know um and so obviously highly confidential if you work for the government you deal with classified information that’s obviously going to be something where they’re going to set standards around that um and you might want to be a little bit cautious about um customer personal information although I personally don’t think it’s

57:56

actually that big of an issue um but depending on the type of information that you have like say if you’re in the medical profession you’re dealing with medical records um you might want might not want to throw in the uh patient’s name phone number and stuff into the but like it’s really cool like um I have a client who’s a a doctor and we decided that we were going to do like the blood test from hell we were going to test our blood on everything that’s testable and like they took like five percent of

58:30

my blood and we we ran all the tests and it’s really interesting we took all the numbers and we fed the data into tap GPT and we said blood test this is this level and you know your A1C came back as this and your this came back I said we fed it all into DPT and we said what is the most likely diagnosis boom two seconds later it had nailed it um and that’s really useful to be able to do but there’s no there’s no actual reason to include the client’s name in your query right you can you can feed all the all

59:11

the blood values in without having to reveal whose blood values they are so I I think there will be you know each and you want to talk with your obviously with your corporate compliance officer what are we comfortable doing and what are we not comfortable doing uh Kavita thank you hi James hi everybody hi um so um uh you know people have already said a lot of things that I wanted to say uh productive productivity um efficiency but to be specific you know I I have a job and I also do a coaching uh you know on the side

59:50

business and and I’m a new mother so I find it really challenging you to manage and you know find time uh working as a solo uh sort of person in my coaching business so you know productivity and efficiency specifically to kind of you know build my own social media presence and at you know in a nutshell grow that business and you know get whatever help I can that’s one and second is to be able to prompt any of the AI tools um as coolly as you do awesome awesome um I’d like to comment on this too um AI is actually really good at doing

1:00:27

things like scheduling so you can say these are all the things I have to get done create a really effective schedule for me for the next week and it will help you sort that out it’s also pretty good at budgeting So like um I was doing this the other day this is a little bit of fun let me just kind of share this with you um I say like um uh uh give me a recipe for be really useful if I could spell but it doesn’t really matter it will know what I mean or delicious vegetable curry for a family of four include

1:01:19

shopping list and budget it’s pretty cool [Laughter] so um yeah we can certainly use it for those kind of things and we’ll get into that um and I actually meant uh sorry to just add to that so yeah so scheduling is I mean what you just use different types of tools to enhance my business you know I I got I got that and that’s obviously happening but I did want to point out that it can also help you with the scheduling as well um have I got that right yep yep you did oh hey James hey hi arthas yep so uh for me my intention for

1:02:23

this course is to uh so just to give you a brief background right so I just resigned from my full-time job so I wanted to start my own you know own business or I don’t want to do my own thing and um I’ve learned that AI is really something that uh will take me to where I want to be so let’s say for example um in terms of uh passion in photography right so I want to uh know what are the AI tools that I can use to leverage on that and start that photography business and um because I don’t want to be or I don’t

1:02:59

want to be you know um overrun by people who know AI so I want to know how to leverage that in terms of this field if that makes sense yeah yeah awesome uh Kathy hi James hi Kathy yeah um I’m pretty new to AI um but I have a lot of challenges in my life because I have um a full-time job two kids and a lot of responsibilities I’m wondering if um chat GPT can help me manage my life and also at the same time help me exploring my own interests and curiosity and creativity I I don’t know how to do that myself I hope I’m hoping

1:03:45

Chad TPT can help me with productivity and also help me with that zero to one lead okay awesome and uh Lydia and Raphael did you have a additional question no I wanted to share what I’m hoping to get out of this okay so great I love the productivity and efficiency stuff that we already shared with us like that’s amazing and I hope there’s more of that so that’s really incredible there’s more coming I promise on that yeah awesome for me personally I’m doing online courses I’m like a one person business so if I

1:04:25

can fail my or do my marketing and communication um with AI that would be amazing like I’m really excited to see what you have in stock for us great okay that gives me some idea and we’ll we’ll continue to interact as as we go through the the weeks and months ahead um looks like Oliver has no Olivier have I said that right yes Olivier Oliver doesn’t matter I mean sorry the text is a little bit small I was having a little trouble seeing it Olivier how far can you go in achieving [Music] success on the stock market

1:05:06

okay that’s it’s an interesting question um and the answer is in two months you will be able to do more than you can do now and that’s a great segue into where I want to go in kind of explaining what chat GPT actually is so um Olivier if you can just hold that thought for a moment and come when I get to the word plugin wave your hands at me to remind me I have something to say okay I will because it will make more sense in that context so I want a little bit of context for answering your question okay well thank you yeah so um let me go

1:05:57

back to my slide deck here so what I what I want to do now is something that I actually don’t like to do but we need to do it we need to go a little bit academic for 10 minutes or so and most of this course I want to be like Hands-On getting stuff done using the tools but sometimes it’s useful to have a little bit of background information and a little bit of knowledge about what’s going on behind the curtain so we want to pull the curtain back a little bit and show you the Wizard of Oz because if you know what’s going on

1:06:36

behind the curtain it will help you to understand better how to use the tools and also what are their limitations and I think it’s going to be really important to understand the limitations so that you don’t use the tool for something that it’s not good at and get a bad result and wonder why that happened does that make sense everyone give me a big thumbs up right so and this requires us to do a A Brief Review we can keep it really brief A Brief Review of the history of AI how we got here and where we’re actually at

1:07:14

as well as what chat GPT actually is because it may not be what you think that it is okay so that’s where that’s where we’re gonna go okay so um we’ve gone through a number of eras the first era started in 1950. and there had been a lot of objection even as early as 1915 as 1950 sorry to the idea that a machine could ever think and there were all these objections raised they were things like well thinking is an action of the soul and machines don’t have souls so by definition machines can’t think or all

1:07:56

these different things and overall there were nine objections to the idea that a machine could never think and do these things that a human being can do and in one research paper Alan Turing destroyed all nine of the objections it’s one of the great academic Tour de forces of all time and so all of a sudden in 1950 all the academics realized it might be possible for a machine to think and until you think it’s possible you don’t start working on it right and so all of a sudden it’s like maybe we should start working on this and so

1:08:37

this is what I call the era of theoretical possibility this is when people started to think that AI might be theoretically possible they knew they couldn’t build it yet they knew they didn’t know how to construct it but they knew that it was probably possible in the 1970s we went into this era of expert systems expert systems are rule-based systems the idea was if we can figure out the rules that you use to make a decision we can program those rules into a computer and the computer can make the same decision that you do

1:09:12

this looked very promising this was the era that I became involved in AI and we thought AI is here and then it wasn’t because this approach sucks and the rule-based approach sucks because you don’t actually know how you do what you do you go into a restaurant you order raspberry sorbet and I ask you why did you order raspberry sorbet with your lamb loin and you’re like I don’t know it looked yummy and you can’t program into a computer it looked yummy what the hell does that even mean and so these these systems were

1:09:59

incredibly hard to create because we couldn’t figure out how human beings were doing what they did and then as soon as the environment changed the whole system fell apart and you had to reprogram it from scratch and the whole approach just wasn’t practical and so AI stopped investors didn’t want to invest in it people didn’t want to do research in it the whole thing just stopped and so we had to go back and start all over again the next part of the era of AI occurred in the early 2000s around the year 2000

1:10:35

computers started to get very powerful CPUs were cheap memory was cheap and this being cheap was really important because we wanted to be able to take a different approach and that approach was machine learning and the Machine learning approach is this idea it’s a crazy idea okay we’re not going to program the computer that’s the crazy idea because we don’t know how to program it because we don’t know what we’re even doing and so instead of programming the computer we’re going to set it up so

1:11:10

that it can look at huge amounts of data like unbelievable quantities of data it can turn that data into numbers and it can find statistical relationships between the numbers and it can start to do prediction please write down this word prediction this is a super important word in AI because it is currently the only thing that AI can do let me say that again it is the only thing that AI can do is prediction so let me give you some examples of that and then it will make sense so we show AI a picture of a dog and we say do you think this is a dog

1:11:53

and the AI says no because there are 50 million things that aren’t dogs and only one thing that is so statistically speaking if I guess that it isn’t a dog I’m probably going to be right most of the time and I look around my hotel room there’s nothing in here that is a dog and so if I predict that nothing in here is a dog I’m probably right and then you say well actually this is a dog and so the computer goes well damn my algorithm is faulty and so it starts looking for something in the data that

1:12:24

might be the identifying characteristic of a dog and so it latches on to like the first you got this fur and you have this data this numerical data that represents something that looks like fur and you show it the next card and you say do you think this is a dog and they go further that must be a dog and then this is a cat and so goes my algorithm is faulty maybe it’s the length of the tail and it generates its own statistical relationships to try and figure out what this is does that make sense but we don’t actually know what it’s

1:13:01

looking at because it might be looking at the color change between these four pixels to the next three pixels and there’s some kind of statistical relationship there that we don’t see but the computer sees it and so it refines its algorithm or refines its algorithm after looking at millions and millions of pictures they can say dog cat horse and it’s actually just doing a prediction it’s predicting that if I say this is a dog human beings will agree with me because it hasn’t got any idea what a

1:13:40

dog is it’s just predicting that if I say this as a dog human beings will agree with me now this idea of prediction turns out to be incredibly more powerful than we thought because a lot of things that you don’t think are prediction actually are okay and this is a super important idea in AI so like you do a Google search a Google search is just a prediction it’s predicting that this the website that you’re looking for is probably one of these 10.

1:14:19

and it’s doing that by looking at every Google search that has ever been done it’s astounding Google has data on every web search that has ever been done they know the words that were used in the search they know what was clicked on afterwards they know how many seconds you looked at the next page before you came back to the search page because if it was very short it probably means it wasn’t the page that you were looking for and if it was fairly long it probably means that it was one of the pages you’re looking

1:14:54

for and if you didn’t come back at all it probably means it was exactly the page you were looking for and so it’s looking for all these statistical relationships among that data and saying you’re probably looking for you know if you type in Amazon it’s like you’re probably looking for amazon.

1:15:12

com because statistically that’s what most people are looking for and the second thing you might be looking for is the Wikipedia article on the Amazon jungle or the river and it’s feeding you those search results and if it’s very good at that it gets an unassailable commercial advantage you can’t compete with Google search you just can’t because you haven’t got enough data to generate the statistical relationships to feed up search results that are actually useful your search results are going to be

1:15:44

pretty random theirs are not at Amazon based on every purchase that’s ever been made your entire browsing history everything that you’ve clicked on X number of stars every piece of merchandise that you’ve ever returned the ones that you haven’t it makes predictions about what you probably want to buy and it says I recommend this book to you where I recommend these Sports socks to you and it also recommends things like clothing sizes you go to a clothing manufacturer you’ve never bought from before like maybe

1:16:19

you’ve never bought Adidas shoes and you click on Adidas it says based on everything that we’ve seen about you in the past you’re probably a size 11. and it’s incredibly accurate because they don’t want returns and they know what’s been returned so this making sense it’s a prediction okay Facebook is a prediction algorithm it says based on everything we’ve seen about you so far you probably know this person and you’re going how the hell did you figure that out it’s creepy right like how do I haven’t

1:16:55

thought about that person in 20 years how did you know that I know them and it’s like what school you went to and what city you’re from and what jobs you’ve had and all this stuff and who else you know this person is probably in your circle and so AI was about prediction based on Big Data then we went on to the next generation and the next generation is what happened in 2017.

1:17:20

Google announced a research paper on a thing called Transformers and Transformers is a way of taking a data set and converting it into a thing called a token this is an important word unfortunately token and a token is basically four letters everything in AI now is four letter words okay it’s a unit of four letters and we could take pixels and turn them into tokens we could take sound data and turn it into tokens we could take Text data and turn it into tokens and then we take those tokens and we convert them into

1:18:02

something called a vector and we start to look at statistical relationships between the vectors and all of a sudden we could take any kind of data and treat it as if it was just a language okay so pictures are just language they have a syntax they have a vocabulary sound is just a language as far as AI is concerned and all of a sudden over four years time we had this explosion in what was possible and chat DPT as a result of that mid-journey is a result of that all the programs that you’re hearing right now

1:18:41

are a result of that so all of a sudden in December 2022 generative AI arrived now generative AI is all predictions and this is the first thing you need to understand it’s still prediction it just doesn’t look like prediction it looks like AI is having a conversation with you it looks like AI is painting pictures it looks like AI is composing music but it’s doing it through prediction so chat DPT is looking at every document ever written and saying well when you have these words in your question the response

1:19:16

probably contains some of these words and these words are probably statistically going to be ordered in this order and after these words they’re probably going to be these words and then statistically speaking these phrases may get included and it’s just using this very it’s amazingly complex that it can do this as mind-boggling and the level of computing power you need to do this is mind-boggling but we have that level of computing power now so I like to think of it as a couple that’s been married for 40 years

1:19:51

and the husband starts speaking and the wife finishes his sentence because she knows that from statistical past analysis that if he said this he’s about to say this everyone’s seen that happen right that’s what chat GPT is doing when when an AI composes music it says well if these notes are being used together these notes are probably being used and these chords are probably available and the most common chord progressions are these chord progressions so maybe I’ll just choose one of those make sense

1:20:34

and it’s just using the statistical prediction to write the music but it turns out that that’s very powerful you can write darn good music doing that you can make very coherent sentences doing that so that’s the history of AI so now we go to the next next slide what is chat GPT so chat GPT is a statistical approach to talking now it’s trained on this very large pile of documents this is really important to understand and based on what it’s seen in all the documents it’s deciding what words should come next

1:21:21

does this make sense this is super important okay just based on what it’s read before it’s predicting what it should probably say now this creates some interesting problems and this is going to be really important for you to all understand okay the first problem that it creates is chat DPT unless you prompt it otherwise is going to give you the majority opinion it’s going to stay statistically most researchers have said this so I’m going to say the same thing unless you ask it for the minority opinion in which case it will say well

1:22:05

statistically speaking most of the people in the minority said this and so you have to work at it to get it to give you a minority opinion does that make sense so let’s do an example of that this will be really useful to actually see so I’m going to go into chat DPT and I’m going to say what is the treatment or gout and it’s going to say non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs coldsteen cortic steroids Lifestyle Changes urate lowering therapy joint aspiration and injection so if you go to your doctor and you ask

1:22:47

him what’s the treatment for gout that’s what he’s going to tell you it’s not going to give you the alternative therapies because those are going to be in the minority in the literature that it’s read but maybe you want to know the alternative Therapies so you have to ask it specifically for those so you go something like what alternative therapies have been proposed and it’s perfectly happy to tell you cherry juice like huh so I got to tell you a story about this my mom got Gout and she got proposed drug number one it

1:23:34

didn’t work drug number two it didn’t work and Drug number three was for the side effects of drug number one and Drug number two and it was months and months and months and no improvement and we started putting sour cherry juice extract in our morning morning smoothie and one week later she didn’t have gout so when you’re talking with chat GPT it can be useful to ask for the minority opinion what other views have been expressed on this topic what does the opposition have to say about this argue the other side and chat

1:24:09

DPT is happy to do it but you have to ask it to now this brings up another point how many of you live in a country where the main language is not English okay they’re going to be quite a few of you we’re from all over the world well tat DPT when it answers a question it doesn’t answer the question based on everything that it knows it doesn’t do that it’s a language model it answers a question based on the language in the question and then it looks for all the documents that have those words in them

1:24:50

and so if you ask it a question in Turkish it’s going to answer the question based on everything that it’s read in Turkish and not based on everything that it’s read in English okay this is super useful to know because some things a lot of things there’s been more and better quality stuff written about it in English than in any other language like business like the sophistication of business in the English-speaking world is far above that in any other world so if you want GPT to create stuff for

1:25:31

your business you might want to ask the question in English so how do you do that you go my English isn’t that great well here’s what you do you write the prompt in your own language and you have ai translated into English then you put that prompt into chat GPT you get the answer in English you stick it back in Ai and have it translate it back into your English and then you polish the language and many times you will get a much more sophisticated answer that way so what tools would you use to do that so let’s cover that

1:26:11

so I have a tab in my tab box called uh translation the best tool is a thing called Deep l d-e-e-p-l this is the best trans uh AI translation tool out there but it has a limitation and the limitation it has is that these are the only languages that it does okay now dpel is also really cool you can just drag PDFs Word documents PowerPoints right in here and it’ll translate the whole document but if you need a language that it doesn’t do then you want to go to Google Translate because Google translate has a huge

1:27:02

number of languages that it can do okay and if you need to be able to translate entire documents because Google translate doesn’t isn’t so great with entire documents with formatting there’s a site called uh online doctranslator.com and um we’ll throw that into the chat as well you can just bring your whole document in here and it will preserve the formatting which is super cool and it has access to the 109 languages that Google translate uses because I believe they’re using their API now there are times when it would be

1:27:44

better that your prompt is not in English say you’re at University and you’re doing research on Turkey on the history of Turkey well you might actually want to input the question in Turkish so that it gives you the answer based on everything that is read that was written in Turkish because there might have been more quality stuff written in Turkish than the people that are writing about turkey and English or writing does this make sense and so there will be times when you want to like ask the question in two

1:28:16

different languages ask it in English ask it in Turkish and look at what both of the answers say so this is a really useful thing um coming back to the desktop and going back to here another thing we need to know about GPT is it doesn’t learn it’s a machine learning language that a model that doesn’t learn it has to be trained by open AI you do not get to teach it okay and it generally speaking has cut off dates so like DPT 3.

1:29:04

5 doesn’t know anything that happened after September 2021. so you ask it who won the midterm election it’s like how would I know okay that’s a problem right everyone who thinks this problem go like yay but there’s things we can do about that problem and so I want to show you a really cool trick what you have to do is you have to give it the information you want it to know in the prompt okay now I’m going to actually demo this and we’re gonna go a few minutes over today I hope that’s okay with everyone

1:29:51

um so what I’m going to do is I’m going to open a document here from my most recent book A book about AI written by AI and I have been here my bio as it relates to AI which has never been published anywhere until 2023 and I’m just going to copy that text okay now I’m going to go into chat GPT and I’m going to show you guys a really cool prompt today and you’re going to want to write this prompt down it says action to take colon text colon action colon and the way you get returns inside the

1:30:32

text box without without executing is you do shift return and and then it won’t execute okay until you click a regular return so the action to take write a three paragraph sales letter um to convince corporate clients to hire the person described in the text to speak at their corporate events so say I’m running a speaker’s Bureau and I have lots of speakers and I need to generate short sales pitches about all of them for my website like I’m the Washington speakers Bureau I can now use this prompt save this prompt and then

1:31:30

all I need to do is I need to plug in their bio data because the computer or chat DPT doesn’t know them right and maybe they’re not in the literature before 2021. maybe they just became famous so that’s what I’m going to do I am now going to paste in that entire document now check this out we would like to introduce you to James Skinner an accomplished speaker with a unique background that makes him an ideal choice for your next corporate event born in the United States and raised by a nuclear physicist James has had an

1:32:04

illustrious clear career working in various roles and it’s just nailed it based on information the tap GPT doesn’t know because I put the information in the prompt does that make sense so if you want to get it to write about something it doesn’t know you have to put the information in the prompt and next week we’ll be showing you how to get information from the web into the prompt because you can actually get chat TPT to look at the live web but the information has to be in the prompt for it to know it

1:32:46

okay cool and uh the other thing that I wanted to cover today chat DPT hallucinates so it’s just a language model and it’s just using statistical prediction and sometimes it will say outrageous nonsense with great confidence so you have to be on the lookout for that we’re not to the point where you can just figure that it’s got everything right so be sure to read what it has said and engage your brain the collaboration between humans and AI is where the action is right now it’s not AI alone it’s when it when you

1:33:34

collaborate with it and you bring your mind to what it does this is where the power is and it’s worse hallucinations are about math it can be atrociously bad at Mass it’s actually gotten much better in chat GPT for chat DPT 3.5 sucks at math it’s just bad um but now we’re about to have a thing called plugins plugins are the App Store for chat GPT it has been announced limited numbers of users have access to it but it’s coming and this is going to allow chat GPT to plug into the entire outside world

1:34:20

there will be a plug-in that gives chat GPT real-time online access to the web openai has already built that plugin okay there will be plugins that connect it to everything that you do there will be plugins uh Olivier they give chat TPT access to livestock quotes oh we’re about to let the dragon out of the box it’s going to be communicating with the real world the chat GPT will be able to give instructions to the real world it’s about to become what we call agentic it will become an agent operating in the world

1:35:07

so you’ll be able to say I’m a man I’m 60 years old I want to lose 5 kg over the next six months here’s the foods that I like here’s the foods that I don’t like I want to eat out uh two times a week I want to make my meals for breakfast but I don’t like preparing lunch sort out my menus arrange for the supermarket if prepare the recipes for me sort out what I need to buy order it from the supermarket charge it to my Visa card make reservations at the restaurants you choose the restaurants

1:35:44

and the rest of the time I want ubereats to deliver my meals and next Thursday is my wife’s anniversary make sure that there are flowers delivered sort out an Uber to take us to the restaurant and just make it happen and it will plug into extensions from the supermarket extensions from the restaurants we’re about to go completely crazy so buckle up your seat belts and get ready for that [Laughter] uh you know it’s like okay um and um it likes to whine a lot it likes to say there’s all the reasons

1:36:31

why I can’t give you a good answer um we’ll we’ll develop some prompts that it will stop it from doing that it is possible to get a clean response and it likes to summarize at the end which gets really old really fast and it likes to tell you it is important to keep in mind it’s like so we we can prompt our way out of that but it likes to do that and you’ll find it a little bit tedious at first um so I just want to do one more thing sorry we’re going over time but it’s pretty important so what is it good for

1:37:13

absolutely everything Edwin started a song called War what is it good for absolutely nothing but it’s the opposite of that it’s good at language it’s good at writing it’s really good at rewriting it’s good at summarizing it’s good at analyzing I have to support uh to submit a paper every week to MIT I submit my paper to chat GPT first I say analyze my paper tell me what’s wrong with it and it will give me the weaknesses in my paper it’s like you didn’t give enough supporting

1:37:41

information about this and you really need to expand this section and I’m like okay rewrite it and it will rewrite it and yeah and then it’s like you know check it for plagiarism you can do all I have ai check my my papers for plagiarism before I submit them you can get you can get chat TP to give you your sources it will tell you what it’s quoted from um which is really interesting like uh let me do this um write a 350 word summary of the life of Donald Trump and then give me the sources that you used

1:38:50

and there are the sources biography.com Donald Trump fast facts from CNN Donald Trump the many scandals the president from BBC News Trump’s immigration policy from BBC news and it will tell you what the sources are um it’s good at giving how-to advice idea generation inspiration planning coding science math with the API which is we’ll talk about later you can actually get it to describe images and when plugins come this will be every day you’ll be able to show it a photo of your fridge the inside of your

1:39:25

refrigerator and say give me a recipe that uses all my leftovers you’ll be able to show it a photo of an automobile and say write a description of the exterior appearance of this car for a press release wow yeah this is this is where we’re going folks like buckle up it’s coming um that’s that’s actually there if you can if you plug into the API from another program but you have to go buy another program to do that um and then just coming in I’m just going to show you real quick we’ll get into this more next

1:40:02

week but um okay zero to one chat DPT will write prompts for itself this will be something we get into in prompt engineering using tap GPT to generate prompts for chat GPT it can write prompts for other applications like mid-journey so you can get it to create your art for you it can suggest uses for itself give me 50 interesting things to do with chat GPT it will tell you it can be a conversation partner personal advice explain things how to DIY learning new skills and hobbies creating study plans and schedules education and tutoring it

1:40:43

will tutor you on whatever subject you’re currently working on uh summarizing subjects including key learnings writing textbooks language learning vocabulary lists it’s wicked good at vocabulary lists it’s like give me a vocabulary list English to Japanese 250 words for the oil and gas industry boom creating tests and exams exam coach I’ve got it actually coaching a friend of mine for the New York bar right now grading essays grammar checking spelling checking answering trivia questions research assistant

1:41:14

analyze and summary summarizing research papers meta-analysis you can actually get it to look at all the research that’s out there and write you a meta-analysis solving math questions or showing you the setup for how you solve the question it can become a thought experiment partner for Thought experiments in quantum physics doing chemistry physics career advice writing CVS resumes cover letters job interview prep you can get it to become the interviewer and interview you for a job so you can practice um Trend identification business ideas

1:41:49

product names logos you can get it to propose logo colors and branding colors and schemes and personal branding taglines marketing plans pricing strategy it will propose pricing strategy for you uh content creation web pages landing pages sales scripts sales calls prep you can get it to pretend it’s the customer and you can engage with it and then ask for improvements step email email social media posts with hashtags AI is wicked good at hashtags in a couple of months we’ll get into social media and we’ll show you some tools for

1:42:25

hyper powering your social media meeting handouts writing contracts you can put a contract document into the prompt and ask it to identify the problems with the contract that’s a wicked use case proposing conflict resolution summarizing a website I gotta I think I already showed you that so um summarizing emails proposing budgets proposing key performance indicators for your business you can say we’re working on this project what should the key performance indicators be that’s a wicked use case medical

1:42:59

diagnosis which we’ve already talked about feed in all the blood results and tell it what the ask it for the diagnosis verifying standard of care determining sentiment this is wicked you can put a customer email in and say tell me how this customer feels and how strongly they feel about it so you can take all your customer complaint emails feed them into chat GPT have it do a sentiment analysis on them and then you can work on the ones where the customer feels the strongest about it first interesting like

1:43:32

so this is stuff that you couldn’t do before right you’re just reading and say man it sounds like this guy’s pissed off but it takes a lot of effort to actually go through and do that so we wouldn’t do it um uh proposing new legislation I was with the fire marshal in Portland and I fed into GPT proposed three changes to the fire code that would result in the most saving of human life it nailed it like that then I said create a presentation for the city council to get them to implement these changes like that create

1:44:09

a some a summary sheet for a handout for the city council members that includes all the reasons why this will be popular with the voters nailed it like that the fire marshal sat there stunned like do you know how much money we pay people to do this now and they don’t do this good a job so it’s wicked good at stuff like that um political platforms and strategies um and the rest of it we’re going to get into next week that’s as far as we got with the people yesterday so I think this is kind of a nice warm-up a nice

1:44:42

introduction what I want you to do over the next week play with chat DPT it’s really simple anything ask it anything try and find things that it says no to like where it won’t answer your request because we’re going to learn how to overcome its nose we can get DPT to do almost anything but sometimes it will say no and we know how to get around that but it’s useful for you to run up against that barrier one time right um see if you can get it to give a better response than the first one it gives like can I improve my question in some

1:45:21

way and maybe it’s as simple as like more detail or make the response twice as long because it will do that by the way we didn’t get to talk very much about tokens today chat DPT has basically a memory limitation and it will only remember so much and so if your question is too long its answer has to be shorter because an answer and a question and answer is one thing to chat GPT and if the conversation gets too long it will forget where the conversation started okay so chatgpt has a little bit of cognitive uh decline syndrome and so you

1:46:02

just need to understand that sometimes it will cut off in the middle of a response how many of you have experienced that and just like stops all you have to do is type continue Ah that’s all you need to do and it will give you the rest of the response yay but but I want you to play with it and to run into some of these problems so that you’ll have some questions to ask the next time when we start it’s like I was doing this with chat GPT and I couldn’t get it to do this or I this answer was kind of sucky how can I

1:46:39

improve that or run into some of those barriers that’s that’s your homework for the next week um I’m still you know if you have to drop off I totally understand I’m still good on time before I have to go get a plane to my next destination I’m going home to visit mom for a couple of days be with the family um but I’m I’m gonna take some q a right now for those people who have time and want to ask some questions so any anything feel totally free like I’ve got nothing better to do

1:47:17

Avita please um I know James that you said that you know sometimes maybe um a couple of months then we we will really hit on the social media a bit I was just trying to create a real is there a way that AI can help uh at the moment you’re trying to create a what a real for Instagram I’m not good at dude okay so um let me pull up my I want to make sure I got the name right give me just a second here there is a program that I would recommend to you to learn how to use called search in their list here video generator video uh in video

1:48:23

in radio okay yeah i-n-v-i-d-e-o and I’ll paste that into the chat and um this is probably the easiest to use most powerful program for creating short videos so why don’t you take a look at that and and see if that meets your needs Ohana uh yes my question is um because I’m thinking about the way to really quickly build like a like a website you know so let’s say you have a business idea you want to see okay already if you can if you can test something if you can play with it a little bit so is there a way to have

1:49:10

this artificial intelligence connected to Wordpress or to other site Builder you know like this you can you can start really fast so it can write HTML way um it can write JavaScript oh yeah it can write every Computer Link that there is that’s like because it’s read all the literature on this stuff it’s it’s wicked good where it where it runs into problems is if you’re building a really complex web app or something and you have to have lots of parts that integrate together um then it’s going to run into

1:49:49

limitations and you’re going to need you know senior level Engineers to Cobble that all together but for the short stuff pretty powerful yeah I mean I was thinking more like a blog or something you know yeah I understand I understand if you’re if you’re trying to build a really simple uh website to test out an idea there’s a program called pixel what Mi XO I’ve just put it in the chat and I’ll actually just um show you just demo it live um so here’s mix so you say what’s your what’s your startup idea and you go like

1:50:23

um I want to do a um subscription based service or Japanese teas and then I go generate site they proposed the name t-box experience the taste of Japan and it makes so its image selection is 40 percent of the time pretty good and kind of the rest of the time you probably want to insert a different set of image

1:51:27

but it pretty much like discover new T’s every month convenient and hassle-free premium and authentic I love how t-box provides a variety of teas that I would never find on my own and uh you know and so it’s pretty simple but you know you can kind of like test your ideas use it as a landing page um so yeah look around the tools are out there for sure Lydia and Rafaela yeah you mentioned earlier that it can prompts with it like just try images so I guess you can like can you put in a picture and figure out

1:52:07

the style and then put that into me if you have access to the API the answer is yes um but it has to be done through another program but even just using text let’s let’s try and and and do an example here real quick so um I’ll go to tap TPT and I’ll say um do you have a favorite famous painting um [Music] let’s go with the Mona Lisa okay described in detail the style technique medium and other artistic elements of the Mona Lisa so it’s going to give me a whole bunch

1:53:27

of stuff about the painting right and I could prompt this a little bit better to get it to exclude the discussion of the artists and stuff but just because I’m too lazy to think about that right now I’m gonna paste this into word and go um a portrait created by an Italian Renaissance artist I’m going to lose the Leonardo da Vinci and I’m going to lose the time frame and I’m gonna say the painting is oil and on a panel of poplar wood I’m going to lose the dimensions um I’m gonna go the painting

1:54:12

and I’m just gonna go uses intricate technique and artistic elements including sumato which I have no really idea about this technique is most evident in the background of the plant painting where the landscape Fades into the distance the subject’s face is also created with this technique giving the painting a sense of depth and realism I’m going to lose this content and I’m going to say the painting is a three-quarter view I have no idea what that is but um will keep the subject’s face as the

1:54:54

focal point of the painting and as enigmatic facial expression [Music] and clothing is simple allowing the focus to remain on the face and on the face and expression one of the most striking aspects of the painting is its use of light and Shadow the subject facing a little bit by Soft light which draws the to the facial expression light falls from the left side of the painting cast and Deep Shadows on the right side of the face and body creating a depth and dimension overall the painting is a masterpiece of Renaissance

1:55:53

art showing exceptional skill and and we’ll just lose this and we’ll just take the first part of this and see what air wants to do with that okay so we’ll actually go back over to uh mid-journey which I think is here and instead of doing uh the Mona Lisa um what what kind of a person do we want to render in the Mona Lisa style how about we do a um medieval night and I know it’s going to give me drama about pasting directly from word I don’t know why I haven’t figured that out yet but okay and

1:56:54

I’m gonna paste that all in and let’s see what it does with it so it’s a medieval night a portrait painting created by Italian Renaissance painter waiting to start probably going to take us about two minutes or so complex prompts require a little bit more processing time sometimes the payoff is worth it worst thing to notice is I guarantee you this is not a prompt I would have generated on my own like it’s fumato what the hell is that like three-quarter view I don’t know what any of that stuff is

1:57:58

I like art as much as the next guy but uh come on really there’s limitations here so while we’re waiting for that to process who’s our next question we’ll come back to this whoever’s next you can start asking your question is there somebody who’s next or is that all the questions for today if there isn’t anybody else and I have uh you know a couple of more questions if that’s okay yeah sure so one very basic one is you know like uh you said and I’ve experienced also sessions and chat GPT so let’s see if

1:58:46

you’re in a conversation and you accidentally close one can you get back to that conversation if you are a paid user okay okay so um let me just uh go back to sorry um so if I go to one of my chat GPT Windows you can see on the left side this list those are all individual sessions okay so I can boom right back into that discussion of religious traditions of the world or business ideas in Japanese whatever I can go back to those and then you also mentioned that it starts forgetting the beginning of the you know the context of the beginning of

1:59:36

the session if the session becomes too long yes so is that is there a way to deal with that also let’s say if you like let’s say if you are creating content for your brand and you just want to continue with that session just so that it remembers it can’t okay and the reason it can’t is it has a token limitation and the token limitation in version 3.

1:59:59

5 was 4096 tokens which is 4096 times four letters which is about 17 000 letters and that seventeen thousand letters is all that it can have in the question in the response and in the context in the session data so that is a that is a limitation okay so when it oh and it’s we’ve already got our picture this is really cool that’s wicked I could not have generated that by myself that’s a medieval night rendered in the style of the Mona Lisa so I I hope that got Lydia and Rafael’s Raphael’s question so coming back to

2:00:47

Kavita um so if we think about um this limitation when it runs out of tokens it’s going to start forgetting session data and there’s we we can’t change that limitation now that limitation has been upgraded a lot in the most recent uh version of chat dpt4 which not everybody has access to yet so they kind of like because it’s allowing users to process a lot more data they have to ramp up their processing capabilities so they’re rolling it out they give it to some people and then some more people get it

2:01:25

some more people get it they have a token limitation of 32 000 tokens well that’s a game changer that’s 32 000 times four characters that’s like 130 000 uh characters of data before it starts running out but at some point it will run out still okay so when it runs out and it starts like giving you answers that are out of context what you’re going to have to do is you’re going to have to take some of that context and re-put it into the prompt okay right that’s that’s the easy answer to that so

2:02:00

some of that will do with prompt engineering by having a prompt that like tells it you know I want to do a customer complaint email in this style that includes these words and we just keep that in the prompt every time it doesn’t need to remember it as session data it can just remember it as a question got you right and there’s no way to link another session to the previous session no no no no no no no nor would you want to generally because you don’t want to be wasting this session data token limitation on

2:02:36

this session usually yeah I mean the way that you can link it is you could actually copy the text from that and then put it in a prompt and then it would become context in the new conversation thank you James more than welcome Kathy hi James uh uh ice um wondering where I could find your books like you’re including your new books I couldn’t find that anyway so I I haven’t I haven’t published any of them in English yet okay which is really interesting we’re working on getting the AI book out in

2:03:17

English uh soon okay hopefully that will be coming um do you read Chinese yes I do okay I I thought that might be the case um so there are two of my books that are available in Chinese okay uh one is called wo Yao Chen okay this is an excellent book and um there’s another book it’s called the nine steps of success I forgot how to say that in Chinese but it’s pretty much just whatever the nine steps of success in Chinese is okay thank you um go ahead yeah no problem uh another question I have and I signed up

2:03:58

for the course late I’m not sure like the format and time and um yeah so we’re working we’re working on that it’s not going to be exactly the same time each week um because it’s that’s simply not possible uh with my travel schedule and everything um we’re going to try and keep it fairly consistent my task for the next two days is to get you guys the next couple of weeks schedule uh So within the next couple of days you’ll be seeing a schedule for the next couple of weeks anyway

2:04:29

and this is I’m gonna try and get that as far out as possible so you guys have time to plan and any sessions that you’re not able to attend live we will be providing video links and this is the first uh lesson this is the first session so we did it two times we did it last night and we did it today pretty much the same content and how many do we have in total uh so um you’ve basically uh in your initial purchase you’ve purchased three months worth um which is going to be uh 4 times 3 12 sessions

2:05:07

the question I have is the the things that we enter into the chat GPT box where does this does it stored and is it public well it’s not what do you think it’s not public it’s not public if you are a paid user they store your sessions for you um you can delete them put them in the trash can it is possible that open AI might start using that data to train chat GPT there’s going to be some issues with that obviously they’re going to have to be careful about that or they’re going to lose their popularity in a big darn

2:05:45

hurry um but I think a little bit of that remains to be seen which is why we said earlier if there’s really sensitive stuff um you know like really important product development stuff you might not want to be feeding that all into the prompt and I’m sure every company’s compliance officer is going to have a little bit different view on that okay yeah Nancy yes hi James hi Nancy so um I’m also busy with uh writing my book and uh I need to finish it but since jet GPT is now and you have wrote something uh

2:06:32

with it um do you have any suggestions or what I can do to make it better improve it I cannot put the whole book into their GPT but you can give me so advice yeah so what are you writing about um my own bio um uh as an entrepreneur um uh and how I grow and I do everything in my life so the team is personal development and to be where I am now and connected with Neuroscience okay so um there are a couple of things that come to mind so you you can’t obviously put the entire book into one session uh in any meaningful kind of way

2:07:26

um but you can take individual sections of it and obviously feed those into chat GPT so I would start creating a a couple of well actually really one really great standardized prompt okay and so you there are a couple of things that I would do like propose improvements proposal proposed improvements and it will say like you didn’t explain this very well or um you could add more detail here and then you can give it some context for you know this is going to be published as a book the target audience is you know given that proposed

2:08:14

Improvement so you’ll want to give it some context another thing that it’s really good at particularly in English is adjusting the level of the language so you can say like rewrite this for high school level and it will rewrite it at a level that’s appropriate for people that are at that level of education and so you want to choose like what is the level of Education of the audience that I’m writing to sometimes when I’m writing for MIT I’ll say like rewrite this more academic because it’s appropriate in that context

2:08:52

right I wouldn’t want to do that with my book per se um so there’s that um you can ask it to check grammar yes it’s wicked good at that um so I would I would look at doing that and seeing how much of that you can integrate into one prompt before it kind of falls apart and so you might end up with kind of two prompts where you run it through twice uh one being suggestions around you know content and things that need more explanation and one being more technical like you know uh substitute out any words that are not appropriate for this

2:09:31

level of Education or uh things like that um the other thing that you can do with it is um it’s wicked good at voice and what I mean by that is like you can ask it to write like in the style and voice and idiom of Mark Twain or Charles Dickens or uh combinations of those and so you might want to like actually create kind of like an artificial voice that’s promptable that becomes your voice when you write a book okay right so I’ll just give a quick example of that um I think it’s kind of fun to look at

2:10:12

so um I’ll go into chat GPT hopefully and um I’ll say um write a um speech or the president of the United States who is resigning due to old age um please write in the style of Harry Truman now this is going to take us back to a more civilized age of politics so my fellow Americans as your president has been the greatest honor of my life to serve this great nation but today I come before you with a heavy heart to announce my resignation from The Office

2:11:14

of the President of the United States the way that this decision has not been easy to bear for nearly a decade I have dedicated my life to serving the American people with all my heart mind and soul and it’s like really standard like really this is who we wish we all had as politicians today like somebody actually talk like reason right okay now rewrite this because it’s wicked at rewriting rewrite this in the folk C Style of Mark Twain folks of America I’ma telling y’all it’s been a powerful privilege to be your

2:11:56

president but I’m fixing to hang up my hat and step down from this here office like it’s wicked good at Style rewrites I reckon I’ve served this great nation for nion 10 years now but truth be told I ain’t the young whippersnapper I once was like there’s no way I could write this like none like just not happening um rewrite in the style of Nelson Mandela my fellow citizens is with the heavy heart that I address you today to announce my resignation from The Office of the President United States serving

2:12:39

this great nation has been the greatest honor of my life but I reflect on my journey I am reminded of the words of the great poet Maya Angelou like that’s like it’s coming at it from a completely different place yeah and so like trying to prompt a CR a craft a prompt that would create a unique style that is yours uh could be really interesting and then it just tightens up the book all into that style okay yeah those are some ideas yes okay thank you and [Music] question the last one um if I have an evil ebook or a word can I also create it

2:13:25

um and do the designing all together um injected GPT that GPT will not do the designing but it can propose the designing okay only if you can ask it to propose the fonts and and those things and it will do a credible job of that Kevin next because he hasn’t asked the question yet today and I’ll come back to honor generate the the drawings the the pictures in the style of mechanism that’s a mid-journey I’ll type that into the chat as well m-i-d thank you uh we had a question here do style rewrites need to be public persons

2:14:14

well remember the tab DPT has been trained on a large quantity of documents so um it does really great with people that it’s actually read stuff that they’ve written and said um but you can write things uh let’s let’s just do some examples here I’ll come back into uh chat GPT and I’ll say um rewrite this with hilarious humor so I’m not referencing a person at all as much as it pains me to say it it’s time for me to throw in the towel and resign as your president I know I know it’s like losing your favorite pair of

2:15:05

socks so yeah it’ll do style rewrites based on things that are not uh a person so everything is on the table try stuff and see what it will do that’s that’s our big thing for this week Ohana yes yes thank you um can you import let’s say like a photo and ask chat gbt for a description of it and once again once again you can do that through the API which is how one software program talks to another but you can’t do that directly in chat GPT in the web version yet okay it has the ability to do it but it

2:15:51

it doesn’t make that ability publicly open in the web version okay okay and this API I mean it’s like another uh something else which is connected we’ll talk about apis more in the future we’re not quite there yet okay yeah okay the apis are basically how one computer program talks to another okay yeah Lydia I guess you guys are still having another question so go for it yeah tool and to be honest and which of you is Lydia and which of you is raphaela I’m I’m Lydia okay great uh so um I have the question because

2:16:33

um I’ve seen that there are a few videos also on YouTube out there that um like Google or Amazon they’re kind of punishing also when you use AI let’s say you write a book and you just write it you know with like a basic prompt and generate everything then they would kind of see okay this is kind of a Spam book let’s say and they could take away your account and I’ve also heard that there are programs that you could use to prevent this so are we also going into that yeah so uh the most popular program

2:17:05

for preventing this is called quill bot it’s a program that does paraphrasing um but you can also ask chat GPT to paraphrase what it just wrote yeah there’s lots of things that you can do um so yeah all right cool and the second question is I’ve seen this for text that it comes up but for images is it the same and do I put it afterwards in Photoshop and tweak it or how can I prevent it so so the the the more of your own FL once again once again big overview yeah real meat right now is in collaboration between

2:17:54

humans and AI and the more collaborative that what you do becomes probably the higher quality of the product that is going to be produced right and the U.S patent office has issued a really stupid opinion but it’s their opinion is that um if you prompt an AI art program and it produces a response and you don’t add any of additional creativity to it that no copyright is created [Music] okay so yeah bring it into Photoshop tweak it do a little bit of this a little bit of that and then it’s like okay now you’ve

2:18:33

been creative now you have actual copyright in the in the product and all this so the more you collaborate the better so if you take what chat GPT Road and you do some rewrites on that and some edits on that um that’s probably going to be a better product than what chat DPT did on its own no that makes sense I mean also for pictures because I’ve found all that uh hands are like kind of uh not so good you know I think they’re much better in mid-journey five yeah all right all right so they’re getting better but

2:19:06

maybe yeah and if you go back to like mid version mid Journey version three uh hands were dodgy they’re getting good they’re getting better but yeah there’ll be things you want to tweak for sure oh yeah thank you okay I think that was a pretty good starting session um everybody feeling good okay great so we’ll look forward to next week hopefully you’ve had a chance to play around with it enough that you have some really good questions and um we’ll get into some more uses of chat GPT next

2:19:40

week and add some tools um so yeah a month from now we should be in a different place James can I ask you one question okay is a prediction okay yeah so that’s we understood can you get can you ask Chachi PT each time a statistical percentage on the prediction given by child pity how trustworthy is it is it strong let us let us know next week right so this is the time where we jump in and it’s like let’s start trying stuff and how it does um yeah sorry I just jumped in a quick question if that’s okay

2:20:33

okay hi Sarah hi hi thank you so much for everything and thank you everyone um just a quick question because um I wanted to ask about the recording one and the presentation um slides where can we have access to them if possible so the the we will have the recording up within probably the next two days and we’ll be sending you all a link perfect will that include the presentation um slides too uh Zoom will have recorded everything that I’ve shown you so yeah great okay thank you so much okay we’ll talk again

2:21:11

soon guys thank you so much I gotta go hop on a plane so uh it’s been terrific thank you so much
