Week 1: Introduction to Generative AI
Define Generative AI and illustrate how insights derived from supervised learning have enhanced our comprehension of Generative AI. Identify the limitations and boundaries of Generative AI and apply practical techniques and strategies for creating prompts that enhance the quality and relevance of large language models (LLMs) responses. List common use cases for Generative AI with writing, reading, and chatting tasks on web-based and software-based interfaces.
