About the Course

ChatGPT and other large language models are going to be more important in your life and business than your smartphone, if you use them right. ChatGPT can tutor your child in math, generate a meal plan and recipes, write software applications for your business, help you improve your personal cybersecurity, and that is just in the first hour that you use it. This course will teach you how to be an expert user of these generative AI tools. The course will show amazing examples of how you can tap into these generative AI tools' emergent intelligence and reasoning, how you can use them to be more productive day to day, and give you insight into how they work. Large language models respond to instructions and questions posed by users in natural language statements, known as “prompts”. Although large language models will disrupt many fields, most users lack the skills to write effective prompts. Expert users, who understand how to write good prompts, are orders of magnitude more productive and can unlock significantly more creative uses for these tools. This course introduces students to the patterns and approaches for writing effective prompts for large language models. Anyone can take the course and the only required knowledge is basic computer usage skills, such as using a browser and accessing ChatGPT. Students will start with basic prompts and build towards writing sophisticated prompts to solve problems in any domain. By the end of the course, students will have strong prompt engineering skills and be capable of using large language models for a wide range of tasks in their job, business, personal life, and education, such as writing, summarization, game play, planning, simulation, and programming....

Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT has been a great introduction course. I look forward to diving into additional AI courses. I've even joined a Meetup group to continue learning outside of the classroom!

Found the course has given me a greater insight into the world of LLM, how they think and the number of other LLM’s that sit behind ChatGPT. Enjoyed the Coursera platform as a positive learning tool.

Very well, thoroughly explained. Some examples of patters a bit strange (e.g. focused only on usage with LLMs themselves), but overall a very good course for beginners. 2 or 3 videos had bad sound quality (low volume).

Loved it, the way teacher teaches this course is fantastic.

His zeal is infectious and teaching is effective as well. Ive learned a-lot form him and no I haven't used LLM to write this review. Full stars from my side :)

Excellent introduction course on prompts and how to engineer them. The teacher exposed all items clearly; the transcription was also useful to underline, save and review the key points of the lessons.

Congratulations!

Modules 5 and 6 seem to be too deep for me to learn in a short amount of time, and my work does not require the task that the prompt patterns II and III provide. However, I can see how these can be useful for others.
