This video is Part 3 of a five-part course in which Wharton Interactive provides an overview of AI large language models for educators and students. They take a practical approach and explore how the models work, and how to work effectively with each model, weaving in your own expertise.

MM: This is the part of AI that is so interesting to me: How to get it to do what you want it to do?

1. Tell it who it is -- Give it some context.
2. Give clear instructions about what you want.
3. Give it examples and steps
4. Interact with it - Push back
5. Practice until you get good at it!
