Buddying up with generative AI

I have been using AI for about a year: first with Open AI’s ChatGPT, and then Claude. (AI is built into some apps I use regularly: Duolingo, Grammarly, and now Google Workspace.)

I recently completed two LinkedIn Learning classes, both focused on AI. You might already be experienced with these or other AI tools. If not, here are a few courses to get you started.

I previously recommended How to Research and Write Using Generative AI Tools on LinkedIn Learning with Dave Birss, the first class I took on AI.

Learning to write a good prompt makes all the difference with generative AI. I’ve been amazed at the quality and utility of the output. I was introduced to Dave Birss and Chris Croft in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic and they became two of my favorite instructors. LinkedIn Learning is included with a premium version of LinkedIn. It’s also available at many public libraries and workplaces.
