These included A.I. Literacy &amp; Prompt Engineering, A.I. Grading, Detection, and Policies, and A.I. Assignments and Assessments. It was an amazing series on using AI in the classroom to help students think differently as well as great tips for usage in training in the real world. My big takeaway is that AI (generative AI) won&#8217;t be replacing us anytime soon, it has a ton of flaws returning incorrect information (fake references &#8211; so always check your references), and requires plenty of time to get prompts to return a modicum of usable results. One example I am experiencing is that I am getting contacted by recruiters on a popular job site for jobs I don&#8217;t do. The jobs are so far off of what I do that at first I assumed it was a mistake until I realized, after the webinar series, that whatever AI they are using isn&#8217;t providing reliable results. The prompts they are writing must be off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it really got me to think differently about communication. Every bit of communication needs to be in a prompt that is submitted into AI if you want to be able to use or be inspired by your use of AI. If you want a specific tone, mood, specific time frame etc. &#8211; state it. So refine your prompt over and over until the results are better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a variety of tools that will cost you per month for premium results and each has strong points and weak points. So, really getting to know your AI tool, like any other tool, and taking it&#8217;s results with a bit of skepticism can help. Don&#8217;t be afraid to keep tweaking your prompts until you get the desired results. AI is here to stay so keep practice learning how to use it. Learning it and being able to use it in business, training, and education will be a valuable future-skill.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"547\" data-attachment-id=\"6319\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lukondor.com\/?attachment_id=6319\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?fit=800%2C547&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,547\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"office\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?fit=800%2C547&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?resize=800%2C547&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"AI in teaching and business\" class=\"wp-image-6319\" style=\"width:556px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?resize=300%2C205&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?resize=219%2C150&amp;ssl=1 219w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?resize=150%2C103&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lukondor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/office.jpg?resize=294%2C201&amp;ssl=1 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some current existing AI tools (this is not a full list just some I found interesting but not necessarily had tried yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/claude.ai\/login?returnTo=%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Claude.ai<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>There is also a smaller Haiku and a larger Opus. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.openai.com\/auth\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ChatGPT<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a>If you have only used the free version before May you have been using GPT 3.5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google.com\/app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Gemini<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>(formerly Google Bard). &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google.com\/advanced?utm_source=gemini&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=gemini_advanced_announce_sh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gemini Advanced&nbsp;<\/a>&#8211;
