I think a great number of working professionals need a course like this too. I am already tired of ChatGPT being cited by the less experienced as an invisible expert in the room during technical discussions.


I'm at the state of thinking that I am quite happy to let them screw themselves with it. I am very good at clearing up disasters and getting paid a hell of a lot for it as the deciding factor isn't your ability to use an LLM but to know what the hell you are doing. We have had quite a few disasters due to inexperienced and experienced people throwing stuff into an LLM and assuming it has any veracity or authority over what comes out.

I tried warning at first and reinforcing validation but I was poo pooed as a spoilsport luddite with basically a faith argument. Not my fucking funeral!


This stuff is so frustrating, I have colleagues who sent long, clearly AI generated documents who don’t seem to understand that if they can’t be arsed to write something, why should I bother reading it?


Write well is think well. A big part of the writing process is being forced to structure your thoughts and ideas, and I am worried that we focus too much on the end result without understanding the process that lead to good outcomes.
