Before each live online session, Tech Training will provide a Zoom link for live online classes, along with any required class materials.
Important note: This training may demonstrate AI tools that are not approved for use with Stanford data. Inclusion in this session does not imply institutional approval. Participants should refrain from entering Stanford data into unapproved tools. An up-to-date list of approved and reviewed tools is available on the GenAI Evaluation Matrix page.
In this training course, you will discover how best to utilize ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language model trained by OpenAI. ChatGPT can assist you in various tasks, such as generating content, answering questions, and completing tasks.
ChatGPT has disrupted just about every task that requires text generation. It influences tasks ranging from research and brainstorming to email composition and creative writing.
In this session, we will explore the primary practical uses of ChatGPT: answering questions and generating text. And we will examine various ways to prompt ChatGPT to provide the desired response.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to effectively use ChatGPT for almost any task that requires content generation, information retrieval, or human-like conversations.
