Intro to Generative AI
Traditional machine learning relies on "predictive" models: observing data and finding a pattern (e.g., predicting house prices, deciding if an email is spam). Generative AI flips this completely.
Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) are the backbone of modern text-generation platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama.
Prompt Engineering
Because Large Language Models are so expansive, the way you communicate with them drastically alters the quality of the output. Prompt Engineering is the technical skill of designing optimal inputs to guide AI toward the best possible response.
