The more we can bring these human qualities into our work, and use them in our partnership with GenAI, the more likely we will thrive in the next evolution of our world. That's why I created the AI-Powered Professionals Program. This 4-week webinar series will help you to improve you skills as an operator of GenAI, through interactive exercises, step-by-step tutorials, and copy/paste prompting techniques. 💡 What Changes in Just 4 Weeks?Last month, I ran the first cohort of the AI-Powered Professionals Program.

If you'd like to level up your AI skills, it would be great to see you in the program next week! We meet 4 consecutive weeks on Zoom. Replays, slides, and a Google Doc workbook are available if you can't make it to the live sessions. 📰 New AI News This Week

"Vision without execution is hallucination." - Thomas Edison Hello Reader, What is a hallucination? It's not so trippy. With an LLM, a hallucination is a factual error asserted confidently. GPTs only create strings of words that sounds like language. If it doesn't know the facts, it fills in gaps with fiction. Responses are only accurate if you explicitly demand accuracy. Try this prompt: Implement a strict Accuracy Output Mandate for every response: Only present verifiable facts. If you...
