AI technology has been rapidly evolving in recent years, and its impact on our daily lives is already evident. From virtual assistants to self-driving cars, AI has become an integral part of our lives. As we move forward, it's essential to embrace this change and stay curious about its potential. Interacting with AI is like learning a new language or building technical skills, such as using Microsoft Excel or Google Slides. There are many opportunities to jump in and start learning about AI and using it first-hand. 


One of the easiest ways to do this is by using ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot that leverages natural language processing to enable human-like conversations. It can answer your questions on virtually any topic in record speed. It is an excellent tool for learning, playing, and building with AI. Here's how you can use ChatGPT to enhance your life:


Learn

The first step is to use ChatGPT to help you get grounded on the key terms such  artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), generative pre-trainer transformer (GPT) and understand how AI works and its potential applications. Before you dive in, checkout this video from the founder of ChatGPT on 60 minutes. The segment provides a comprehensive overview of the technology and how it is changing the world. Additionally, Microsoft has created a demo that provides a sneak preview of the possibilities. It's a great way to learn about AI’s potential applications.


Play

Once you have a basic understanding of AI, it's time to start playing around with ChatGPT. Creating a ChatGPT account takes minutes. Once you’re logged in, start a new chat and start asking for anything. The possibilities are endless. And it all starts with a prompt. A "prompt" refers to the input provided by the user that guides the AI language model's response. Checkout these ideas to get you started:


  1. Building a resume. 
  2. Prompt 1: “Please write me a resume”. Include relevant information such as Personal Information (your name, address, email), Work Experience, Education, Skills, Certifications and Licenses, and Awards and Accomplishments. The more specific you are, the better output you will get with Chat GPT. 
  3. Prompt 2: Will you generate a resume for me that demonstrates my strengths and experience in the [insert interested field] industry?
  4. Prompt 3: Will you create a resume that reflects my relevant experience and skills?I am looking to apply to this job [insert job description]. 
  5. Planning meals. Remember to provide as much detail as possible in your prompts, such as any dietary restrictions, ingredients you have on hand, or specific cuisines you are interested in, to help ChatGPT generate more relevant and personalized responses.
  6. Prompt 1: Please give me a dinner recipe using [insert ingredients here] with minimal additional ingredients.
  7. Prompt 2: Please provide easy meal ideas that I can create in 30 minutes for 10 people that do not need to be served hot.
  8. Prompt 3: What are some budget-friendly meal ideas for two people who can only spend $400 a month?
  9. Fun prompts that can help you be more creative.
  10. Prompt 1: Will you create a fictional story based on my life [insert details about where you’re from, favorite things, and future goals]?
  11. Prompt 2: Please summarize this book by [insert title and author and add in any context you’re looking for specifically] 
  12. Prompt 3: Will you help me write me a rap song about my recent trip [insert details of city, things you did, people you were with, etc,.]?

Wherever your interest lies and whatever your skills are; if you haven’t already, incorporate ChatGPT in your daily life. ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can help individuals increase their knowledge base and stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving digital landscape and world. 


Build

If you're interested in taking things to the next level, try using AI to build something. There are many tools available that can help you change the way you work and create something new. Here are some of our favorites and ones that we have actually used to create this website: 


  1. Looka - a graphic design software that uses AI technology to help users design logos, business cards, and websites. The platform provides users with a wide range of customizable templates that they can use to create professional-looking designs quickly. 
  2. Canva - a design tool that uses AI to help you create professional-looking graphics, presentations, and social media posts. It offers a range of templates, graphics, and fonts to choose from, and can suggest design elements based on your preferences.
  3. Grammarly - a writing tool that uses AI to help you improve your writing by detecting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. It can also suggest improvements to your writing style and help you avoid common mistakes.
  4. Midjourney - an image generator that runs entirely from a Discord server and the prompts for Midjourney are more specific to Discord. For example, you should start every prompt by stating “/imagine”. To access Midjourney, simply follow the provided link to join Midjourney Official Discord server. Once you’ve joined, you can generate images by typing “/imagine [INSERT IMAGE REQUEST HERE].” 



Having a growth and curious mindset when using AI technology is essential because it allows you to explore new possibilities and discover new ways of doing things. It also helps you to see the future and where technological advancements may have near and/or long term impact on our lives and our communities. It’s an amazing time to be alive as we bear witness to these rapid changes happening around us. Leverage ChatGPT and other AI tools to achieve your goals or at the very least, learn, play and build anything you want.
