Getting the Most out of AI Assistants: Prompt Engineering
AI is here to stay, whether we’re in a bubble or not. The question is, do we ignore it or learn how to use it? If the latter, how do we leverage AI’s strengths and avoid it’s pitfalls. One way is to learn how to “engineer” better prompts. In other words, how to talk to the AI assistant.
In the third part of our “AI & You” series, we’ll discuss how to ask better questions and check the answers that AI provides. We will learn that iteration, specificity, using boundaries, and verification will provide much better results. AI can be a knowledgable assistant, but we are the decision makers. We are in control of the interaction and what we do with the information.
Join the Mountain View Computer Users Group (MVCUG) from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Cochise College Downtown Center, 2600 E. Wilcox Drive in Sierra Vista. We meet in classroom E105. Park in the southern end of the east parking lot, come up the ramp to the east entrance. If the door is locked, follow the instructions on the MVCUG sign. Once inside, follow the signs to the room. A map is available at MVCUG.org.
Coffee, donuts, pastries, and bagels are free, but we appreciate your donations to help offset MVCUG expenses. All meetings are recorded and available for members online. If you are a paid member you will receive an email with the video link two to three weeks after the meeting.
