Lesson 2: Creating content with AI – Basics (M5-U4-L2)

Anna already knows the possibilities and potential of AI. She wants to learn more and test it herself, but she does not know how to start. Are you joining her in her adventure?

On the Internet, you can find different AI tools. Each of them offers different opportunities, which are waiting to be explored. You already learnt some examples of what you can use AI for. Now it is the time to learn the tools.

If you want to work with AI, you need to remember that precision is the key to achieving your goals. Too general commands (prompts, as specialists would say) cause AI to generate the content based on the most common information.

*Imagine telling a child who has never seen how to cook to chop a carrot (what you mean is: wash it, peel it, and chop it into small slices). The child may simply take a carrot, chop it into four pieces, and that is all. If you first teach the child how to do it, the child will do it properly.*

Let’s see if you can give precise instructions.

Can you see what happened there? The first sandwich was a general one; it can be any sandwich. The second one seemed to be specific. If you asked for a picture of a sandwich with meat, AI might generate a picture of a sandwich with meat only – that’s why precision is necessary.

As you already know, AI makes mistakes as it collects the information from the internet, where there is also a lot of misinformation and disinformation. The other thing is that AI programmers take care so that users cannot create any sensitive content.

What is your opinion about it? Is it good that there are such limitations? Or maybe is this taking away freedom of expression and restricting creativity?
