    About the Course

    This course is designed for everyone, including professionals, executives, students, and enthusiasts interested in leveraging effective prompt
    engineering techniques to unlock the full potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT. Prompt engineering is a process
    to effectively guide generative AI models and control their output to produce desired results. In this course, you will learn the techniques,
    approaches, and best practices for writing effective prompts. You will learn about prompt techniques like zero-shot and few-shot, which can
    improve the reliability and quality of large language models (LLMs). You will also explore various prompt engineering approac...

    Videos are too short and superficial so you end up memorizing sentence by sentence to pass quizzes. Not a learning experience.

    Videos are just quickly reading slides, quizzes give unhelpful feedback for incorrect answers and just say "watch the video again".

    Signed up for Applied AI and suddenly IBM and Coursera decided to update the program to AI Developer program. Thumbs down, I only committed my time for 7 courses, but now you added 3 more courses and I can't continue anymore. Wasted my time big time!

    Todavia no he puesto estos conocimientos adquiridos a la practica, puesto que justo lo acabo de terminar, sin embargo, su explicacion y como abordan los temas y puntos esta muy bien organizada y sencilla de entender. Estoy seguro que lo que aprendí aquí me servirá para un futuro.

    Una experiencia transformadora y muy bien estructurada. Este curso superó mis expectativas. En pocos días, logré comprender a profundidad los conceptos clave de la ingeniería de instrucciones para IA generativa. Todo está presentado de forma clara, con ejemplos útiles y ejercicios prácticos que realmente ayudan a afianzar el conocimiento. Me gustó mucho cómo se abordaron temas como el bucle de retroalimentación, el enfoque del árbol del pensamiento y el perfeccionamiento de prompts. Además, completar este curso con una calificación perfecta me deja muy motivado a seguir aprendiendo. Lo recomiendo completamente a quienes deseen mejorar sus habilidades en IA generativa y aplicar estas técnicas en proyectos reales. Gracias IBM y Coursera por tan excelente formación. ¡Nos vemos en el siguiente reto!

    The AI course offers a brief overview of key concepts. Some videos feel rushed, focusing more on tool names than substantive learning. It's a decent starting point but lacks depth on specific tools.

    Buenas tardes. Fue una excelente experiencia ya que ahora conozco los usos importantes que se le pueden dar a la inteligencia artificial, aprendí sobre las grandes ventajas y capacidades que podemos aprovechar u obtener de los modelos de IA Generativa, utilizando Ingeniería de instrucciones o (Prompt engineering), ya que nos ayudan a estructurar un texto aplicando sus técnicas para que el modelo IA Generativa puede interpretar la informacion y comprender la instrucción y de esta manera generar textos, imágenes con un resultado optimo, ajustado las necesidades especificas del usuario. Por otro lado, quiero darle gracias a todos los colaboradores y al equipo de Coursera en general por su gran aporte y gran trabajo. Y por ultimo, conocí esta plataforma gracias a la recomendación de un profesor de un Diplomado que realice en Análisis de Datos con Python, hace casi dos meses, agradezco mucho a este profesor ya porque me ha parecido genial, es muy amigable, intuitiva e interactiva lo cual me ha animado , e impulsado muchísimo a seguir creciendo profesionalmente; esto también se debe a la calidez, profesionalismo, respeto y sencillez, que he conocido en la comunidad de Coursera en general. ¡Infinitas gracias!

    La inteligencia artificial generativa es fascinante. La capacidad de crear contenido nuevo e innovador a partir de datos existentes es una prueba del potencial creativo de las máquinas. Los conceptos básicos de ingeniería de instrucciones son fundamentales para comprender cómo diseñar y entrenar modelos que puedan generar contenido de manera efectiva y coherente. Es como enseñarle a una máquina a pintar o componer música, pero en lugar de pinceles o instrumentos, se utilizan algoritmos y datos. Esta disciplina no solo abre nuevas posibilidades en campos como el arte y el entretenimiento, sino que también tiene aplicaciones prácticas en la generación de contenido personalizado, como recomendaciones de productos o la creación de contenido automatizado para empresas. Sin embargo, también plantea desafíos éticos y sociales, como la autenticidad y la propiedad intelectual del contenido generado por IA. En general, creo que la IA generativa es un campo emocionante con un potencial enorme, pero es importante abordarlo con responsabilidad y consideración hacia sus implicaciones.
