"If you are a beginner looking to learn more about Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities or a developer wanting to get started with modern NLP APIs, this course offers a great introduction. Software developer and instructor Ronnie Sheer guides you through what large language models are and what problems they may be able to solve. Ronnie dives into text generation, starting with a warning to use text generation AI responsibly, then moving on to Chat GPT, GPT-3, and J1 with few-shot learning. He introduces you to the AI generated image landscape, then shows you how to use Dall-E and Midjourney. Plus, Ronnie goes over a couple of advanced concepts, like how to fine tune your prompts and how to interact with language models using an API." |

| DLAI (Deep Learning AI) |
There are loads of great courses from DLAI, but there are two here that I want to call out, plus a link to a whole list of short courses.
The "AI for Everyone" is a great intro course (yes, for everyone), and then I would recommend "How Business Thinkers Can Start Building AI Plugins With Semantic Kernel"
On the right is the link to the whole list of short courses.
