🚨 Breaking AI News

🏫 Schools are teaching ChatGPT

According to CNN, Some colleges have rapidly shifted from banning AI tools like ChatGPT to actively encouraging their careful use in academics. This is not the case for my school 😂.

Early bans came from concerns about cheating and inaccuracies, but professors now fear ignoring AI will leave students unprepared to enter an AI-powered workforce.

Some professors now transparently incorporate ChatGPT into assignments to develop proficiency. “Prompt engineering is an emerging skill set being taught on campuses.”

What do you think? Is encouraging ChatGPT in college a good idea?

Daily Definition

Prompt Engineering

‘Prompt Engineering’ refers to the art and science of crafting effective and precise prompts to elicit desired responses from language models, especially AI-based ones. It's like fine-tuning how you ask a question to an AI, ensuring clarity and targeting specific knowledge or skills. This technique is pivotal in harnessing the full potential of language models, guiding them to produce more accurate or contextually relevant outputs. Think of it as guiding a conversation with AI to ensure you get the information or response you seek.
