Overview of this book

Generative AI models and AI language models are becoming increasingly popular due to their unparalleled capabilities. This book will provide you with insights into the inner workings of the LLMs and guide you through creating your own language models. You’ll start with an introduction to the field of generative AI, helping you understand how these models are trained to generate new data. Next, you’ll explore use cases where ChatGPT can boost productivity and enhance creativity. You’ll learn how to get the best from your ChatGPT interactions by improving your prompt design and leveraging zero, one, and few-shots learning capabilities. The use cases are divided into clusters of marketers, researchers, and developers, which will help you apply what you learn in this book to your own challenges faster. You’ll also discover enterprise-level scenarios that leverage OpenAI models’ APIs available on Azure infrastructure; both generative models like GPT-3 and embedding models like Ada. For each scenario, you’ll find an end-to-end implementation with Python, using Streamlit as the frontend and the LangChain SDK to facilitate models' integration into your applications. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to use the generative AI field and start using ChatGPT and OpenAI models’ APIs in your own projects.

What is a prompt and why is it important?

In the context of generative AI, a prompt refers to the input the user provides to the generative models. When we talk about ChatGPT and OpenAI models, prompts mainly refer to a piece of text in natural language or – as we saw for Codex models – in programming languages.

Prompts are the only way users can control the output generated by those models. As such, there is no surprise in saying that the quality of the prompts used to engage the AI system in a conversation is key to determining its success.

Well-defined prompts are the recipe for a successful conversation that covers the topics of interest; poorly-defined prompts, on the other hand, not only prevent the conversation from being useful to the user but could also lead to potentially misleading content. As we saw in the previous chapter, ChatGPT still suffers from some limitations, such as the 2021 cut-off of its knowledge base, as well as another caveat typical of...
