Leveraging AI

 

Leveraging AI

By Nadim Uddin

Introduction

In this blog, I will be discussing how to use prompts to leverage AI and make use of the services it provides. The goal is for readers to evolve how they approach tasks and unleash creativity. There have been several instances now in my career and personal life where I used AI as a career coach and I way to break down certain subjects to better digest. It has gotten to the point where if I see people stuck with any type of studies or worries I ask “Why don’t you use open AI?”. Many people suggest that the answers given are not what they wanted. But the reason that is the case is because you are not approaching the prompts the right way. So in this blog, I will be diving deep into prompting.

Enhancing creativity

AI prompting can serve as a catalyst to fuel someone’s creativity, inspiration and ideas in any endeavour. Whether you are deciding on the type of sub-niches you want to go into for a business or creating a roadmap in your career. AI can help brainstorm for you. Let’s look into some examples.

As you can see below. I approach Ai like it is a person. I even detailed specifics of what I am looking for.

Next, out of the list provided, Under “Elderly care technologies”. I will be choosing the sub-niche “AI-powered fall detection device.”

As you can see, AI helps eliminate a lot of team brainstorming and mental effort in trying to think of ideas. Usually in situations like this, many research, grab books, watch podcasts etc. Not to say that these resources are now redundant but now you have a basis and direction to allow yourself to be efficient.

Let's look into another example where we create a roadmap for an IT career.

Now I wished I had AI at the start of my IT career. 

Boosting productivity

In addition to fostering creativity, AI prompting allows for significant boosts in productivity as it can help facilitate decision-making. Gone are the days of staring at a blank page or spinning on your chair stressed. Using AI, you can cultivate a multitude of options and evaluate alternatives. Let’s look at an example below.

As you can see below, you can even get code formatted to allow the ease of copying code.

Let's attempt to change the format of this based on a new need. We will change the CMD command into a PowerShell command. Note, you can see me continue the conversation flow like I am talking to a real person. AI uses machine learning to remember the conversation that you are currently engaged in.

Personal Assistance 

You can also leverage AI for mundane tasks. Let’s see below for an example of this.

It can also come in handy for studying. Now, this is where people struggle the most as they say AI provides too much information to the point it isn’t specific enough to their needs. Let’s show an example of how to do a nice prompt.

Now above I did not like how it wrote too much for each paragraph. So I will suggest AI to shorten it.

Again, you were able to see me make use of the concept of communicating in a way like you are having a conversation with AI. I hope by now you’ve understood how useful AI can be in your day-to-day life.

Conclusion

To conclude, AI prompting presents a powerful path for someone to upscale their creativity, productivity and innovation to many domains. We have gone through many examples within this blog and I hope it inspires you to have a play around with AI. Many people have a fear of the growing advancements of AI, but there will always be advancements in civilizations. Many farmers in the olden days for example weren’t fond of factories. End of the day, it’s about making duties that would take a considerable amount of time to a matter of seconds. Another example includes how people used to have a job being a human calculator before programs such as Microsoft Excel were invented. Let us embrace the transforming potential and leverage something new before your competition beats you to it.
