Unpopular Opinion About AI

Unpopular Opinion: We don't need an AI tool for every little thing we do.

Anyone else feeling like it's the early 2000's and the .com bubble is about the burst?

😶 So many apps.
😐 So many new sites.
😫 So many new companies vying for our attention (and money).

This is quickly leading to burnout, exhaustion and a feeling of being "left behind", a dooming sense of urgency.

Remember folks, all of these tools are mainly built on the ChatGpt Large Language Model. Most of what these tools can do, you can do directly on ChatGpt with a little prompting.

My recommendation is to spend your time and efforts in learning how to work with Generative AI LLMs directly.

We won't know what will happen, maybe the bubble will burst. But in the end, the knowledge you gain in educating yourself will be infallible.

To help with this journey of education, I have teamed up with Justin Germishuys to offer a webinar series of 3 simple sessions starting November 1st.

✔ Intro to Generative AI
✔Prompting with Generative AI
✔Practical uses and applications of Generative AI

The cohort will be small. Participation and engagement expected. This is YOUR webinar, created just for you, driven by YOUR needs.

The webinar is geared towards teachers, specifically language teachers, but you don't have to be a language teacher or even a teacher for that matter.

You just have to want to learn.

Fill out the Google Form to get on the waiting list.

Share this email with your friends. All are welcome to join.

We got this.

See you all November 1st!
