Description

We will snake our way through large language models. Python has become the defect standard for accessing and talking to AI systems via code. With Python and LLM APIs (programming interfaces), coding can simplify down to one line of code. We gain a degree of both control and power not available otherwise. In this course, we will travel a middle-route: not merely using tools of artificial intelligence, but also not building AI either. Instead, we can address AI much like a tailor custom-fits a suit. Instead of using apps, we can diy the app, putting our own app together a bit like Legos. And we can use AI to generate our code also. No prior coding experience expected or required. Goal: an absurd increase in capability, including in pursuit of works that question: "What is this art-thingie anyway?"
For noobs and coders alike.
