Writing with (and without) AI Sessions

class title banner

Overview
AI is being touted as a tool that can help you write. And it can. But it can’t write for you; it can only write with you. AI language models are like calculators, you have to know what you are putting in and how to evaluate what comes out. With discussions of what AI models can and can’t do, we’ll look at how these tools might support the writing we do at work. Specifically, this class will help participants understand how to design prompts to get better rough drafts from AI and what revisions to consider as you look at the AI product.
