AI: It's All About that Bass: About that Prompt, No Pickles.

 You are about to take an unprecedented journey while doing the most to benefit everyday people and society.

"achieving progress requires building powerful systems that benefit people and society—systems that help cure disease and expand access to both information and opportunities—and addressing risks around serious challenges like bias, misuse, and safety." --James Manyika (Google's Senior Vice President of Research, Technology, and Society)

 But before we begin, I'll share what I learned this morning, perhaps the most important lesson of my life.

It's all about the PROMPT. A finessed prompt triggers the superpower superpower behind ChatGPT and other AI platforms.

An artificial intelligence (AI) prompt is a mode of interaction between a human and a large language model that lets the model generate the intended output. This interaction can be in the form of a question, text, code snippets or examples.

My AI mentor, Patricia Vining, just gave me a superb lesson on how to build powerful AI prompts. "Please and Thank you helps."  There are four steps:

1. ROLE

2. CONTEXT

3. GOAL

4. FORMAT

FOR EXAMPLE

1. ROLE:  You are an international expert in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling.

2. CONTEXT: Your client has a 9th grade son, reading at the 3rd grade level, with failing grades and facing existential challenges in school, on the streets, and at home.

3. GOAL: Engineer a one year Individualized educational and psychological intervention plan that will bring hope and success back into this boys life.

4. FORMAT: The 10 step Individualized Educational and Psychological plan will include activities and leaning experiences and a project for all of his stakeholders. Include bibliography and specific resources.
