Day 1 | Introduction to ChatGPT and Prompt Engineering | Prompt Engineering Zero to Hero (5 Days)

The speaker, Prasad, checks the audio and ensures that it is audible to the audience. He introduces himself as a member of the C team at Let's Upgrade and welcomes everyone to a session on prompt engineering with GPT, which will be taught by Rishab. Prasad emphasizes the importance of registering for the program and outlines the resources available in the provided documentation link.

Prasad explains the step-by-step process for completing the program, which includes enrollment, attendance, and obtaining a certificate. He instructs the audience to follow the direct link provided in the chat for enrollment and to check the documentation for detailed instructions and screenshots. The session also covers how to access notes and presentations for the next five days of learning about prompt engineering and AI tools.

Rishab Sharma, a front-end developer, introduces himself and provides an overview of the topics that will be covered in the five-day session. The focus is on understanding prompt engineering, using AI tools like GPT for various tasks, and creating effective prompts. Rishab also addresses non-tech audience members, discussing how AI can aid content creation, scriptwriting, and songwriting.

The speaker sets ground rules for the session, asking participants not to spam the chat and to focus on learning about prompt engineering. The session's duration and the importance of attending all five days are highlighted. The speaker also emphasizes the potential of prompt engineering to increase productivity and reduce work hours, sharing personal experiences.

The speaker discusses the differences between Chat GPT and Google, focusing on their purposes, types of inputs and outputs, and the scope of their functionalities. Chat GPT is described as a conversational tool designed to solve problems through dialogue, while Google is a search engine that provides links to web pages. The benefits of using Chat GPT, such as time-saving and reduced human effort, are also covered.

The speaker provides a detailed walkthrough of the Chat GPT interface, explaining its features and how to use them effectively. This includes customizing instructions, generating outputs based on prompts, and understanding the types of outputs Chat GPT can provide, such as synthesizing information, content creation, and learning and research support.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of prompt engineering in interacting with AI like Chat GPT. By providing clear and specific prompts, users can guide the AI to generate desired outputs. The session touches on the concept of reinforcement learning and how feedback can be used to improve future responses from the AI.

The speaker demonstrates how to create effective prompts for Chat GPT, showing how different phrasing can lead to different outputs. The session explores the use of prompts to generate advice, create content, and even interact with the AI as if it were a JavaScript console. The importance of being specific and clear in prompts is stressed to achieve the best results.

The speaker discusses practical applications of prompt engineering, such as generating Excel sheets, creating sample arrays, and producing CSV files. The session also addresses the limitations of Chat GPT, particularly its inability to process images or real-time data. The focus is on how prompt engineering can be used to simplify tasks and increase efficiency.

The speaker explains why prompt engineering is crucial for AI, likening it to asking the right questions to get the right answers. The session also touches on the job opportunities and scope for prompt engineers, encouraging participants to include this skill in their resumes. The importance of knowing the problem to find the solution is highlighted.

The speaker provides tips on enhancing prompts for better outputs from AI, such as using modifiers and being specific. The session includes live examples of how different modifiers can change the AI's responses. The speaker also addresses the importance of feedback for improving AI interactions and the potential for making money using Chat GPT.

The speaker guides participants on how to access the session notes and information about the certificate. Details are provided on how to sign up, enroll in the program, and mark attendance. The process for accessing the notes and the schedule for the program is explained, along with the requirements for obtaining a certificate.

The speaker concludes the session with thanks to the audience and the host, Rishab. They encourage participants to implement what they've learned and to bring more students to future sessions. The possibility of a special surprise if attendance reaches a thousand students is mentioned. The speaker also provides information on how to get shout-outs on social platforms for active participation.
