ChatGPT - Using the AI Appliance

Start Simply - Skip the AI Hype - Get Results Easily

About the Book

Have you ever wondered how using ChatGPT can help you solve problems? Are you not sure where to start or how to get the most out of ChatGPT with the least effort? Is the "AI Hype" helping or hindering you? Would a book with a simple and practical approach help?

Then this book is for you

This book sidesteps the intricacies of ChatGPT and treats it as an 'AI appliance' that anyone can use. The “Black Box” mindset says, “not understanding the internal operation of ChatGPT is not a blocker to effective use of ChatGPT”.

With this book, you will be able to:

  • Learn how to approach ChatGPT as a "black box" and why this mindset is beneficial.
  • Gain the skills to engineer effective prompts for specific needs.
  • Understand how to evaluate the quality of ChatGPT’s responses.
  • Learn to focus on what you can control—inputs and outputs—rather than getting lost in its technological complexity.
  • And much, much more.

Why sift through dense academic papers or swim in a sea of misleading information online? This book provides a digestible, straightforward guide for laypeople and tech enthusiasts. This book distils complex concepts into actionable insights, offering a straightforward pathway to ChatGPT mastery.

Don’t miss the chance to be ahead of the curve in understanding and leveraging this groundbreaking technology. Click the "Buy Now" button and embark on your journey to becoming a ChatGPT expert today!
