Using ChatGPT

The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a large language model (LLM), has fundamentally transformed the world of programming. Large Language Models are AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data, enabling them to generate human-like responses and assist with a variety of tasks.

While ChatGPT is one of the most prominent LLMs, many other LLMs, like Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude have also been developed by various organizations. And OpenAI continues to work on improving and creating more advanced language models.

Large Language Models have the potential to accelerate your development as a data analyst and programmer. Mastering the effective use of these tools can take your skills to new heights.

The following lesson provides helpful tips on how to utilize ChatGPT efficiently. Please watch the video, then experiment with prompts on your own to experience the full capabilities of this powerful AI assistant.
