Advance Praise
Claudia Turcotte:
“I’ve always been curious about AI but found it a bit intimidating—this book broke it all down in a way that actually clicked for me. What sets it apart is that it’s not just about ChatGPT—it covers a range of AI concepts, tools, and applications, giving a full picture of how this tech works and where it’s heading. I appreciated the practical focus and clear examples that made complex concepts feel approachable. If you’re looking to demystify AI without getting lost in jargon, this is absolutely worth your time!”
Toni Grundstrom:
“If you’re curious about Artificial Intelligence but feel overwhelmed by its complexity, Generative AI for Beginners: Unlocking the World of GPT-4 and Beyond is the perfect introduction. This audiobook breaks down AI concepts into approachable, practical explanations, making it ideal for both newcomers and professionals looking to explore how AI can enhance their work.
The guide dives into foundational topics like GPT-4, Large Language Models (LLMs), and neural networks, offering a clear understanding of how these technologies work. The detailed yet simplified breakdowns of deep learning and the mechanics behind generative AI gave me a strong grasp of concepts that once felt intimidating.
What really stood out were the real-world applications discussed throughout the audiobook. From art and design to business and IT, the examples showcase how AI is revolutionizing industries and driving innovation. The section on using tools like ChatGPT was particularly useful, especially the strategies for designing effective prompts to enhance problem-solving and creativity.
The ethical focus was another highlight. As AI continues to shape society, the emphasis on responsible development and innovation felt both timely and thought-provoking. The insights into quantum computing’s potential impact on AI added an exciting glimpse into the future, sparking ideas about how this technology could evolve.”
Jennifer K:
“This book sought to lower the barrier to understanding complex Artificial Intelligence theories, uses, and processes. I feel like it accomplished that task in an easy to understand way by rigorous structure of the topics. It is so easy to search through each topic as they are clearly labeled and straight to the point, rather than buried in walls of text.
Although I work with Gen AI in my career, I learned quite a bit from this book and will continue to keep it as a reference.
I appreciate the author including the common downsides/dangers of relying to heavily on AI, as well as proposed solutions for mitigating risks. This chapter in particular I feel needs to become more common knowledge as too many believe AI is infallible.
Great job! Well worth the read if you want to learn more about AI."
