使用生成式AI

应用生成式人工智能 offers resources and examples for those looking to explore the capabilities of generative AI in their work. Using tutorials and demonstrations of how others are using generative AI, this page is designed to help you understand and utilize ChatGPT, Copilot, 以及其他生成式人工智能工具.

To take full advantage of these tools, you will need to dive in, experiment, and learn as you go. These are not your typical out-of-the-box applications like Microsoft Excel, Adobe Photoshop, 甚至是WhatsApp. Rather, these generative AI applications have the most benefit when users interact with them and learn how to use them for their specific needs. These generative AI tools are more like the Internet than to Excel or Photoshop in that there is so much they can do but it takes time and practice to figure out the best ways to use them.

学习目标

1. 探索生成式人工智能的前景: Dive into generative AI and its applications, including tools like ChatGPT and Copilot. Learn about the fundamental concepts and capabilities of generative AI, including how it differs from other forms of AI and its potential impact on various industries.
2. Develop Hands-On Skills with Generative AI Tools: Gain practical experience with generative AI tools through tutorials and demonstrations, building proficiency in using these tools to generate text, images, or code.
3. 学习即时工程技术: Understand the importance of prompt engineering in communicating with generative AI tools and explore how to craft precise instructions and prompts that guide AI to produce desired outputs, 是否产生有创意的内容, 解决问题, 或者协助完成特定的任务.

The content of this page will change as iterations are made to generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini as well as to applications available to MSU Denver employees and students through our Microsoft 365 license. However, to establish a baseline understanding of generative AI, there are some “Basics of Generative AI” materials to support early learning and energize future experimentation and discovery of added uses for these applications.

为简单起见, the primary resource for those looking to learn more about generative AI in its chatbot form -through tools like ChatGPT and Copilot- is a course developed by 学习提示, a non-profit organization focused on AI literacy that has created and launched a portfolio of free and paid resources for users to build their generative AI acumen. 学习提示 is a trusted partner for many of the world’s largest companies and has even partnered with OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) to assist with training users on effective generative AI use.

提供的信息 free “ChatGPT for Everyone” module (which takes roughly 30 minutes to complete) includes valuable information for anyone interested in using generative AI including how to access and begin using ChatGPT, 如何创建和完善您的提示(i.e. the questions you ask a generative AI chatbot) and use cases to show users generative AI in action. 这门课是 free 但确实需要“注册”.” Prior to engaging with the “ChatGPT for Everyone” content, you are encouraged to watch the short set-up via below to assist with getting started.

对于那些喜欢使用 微软的副驾驶 rather than ChatGPT, the information and guidance provided by 学习提示 is applicable to both platforms. Copilot functions like ChatGPT because, frankly, Copilot is ChatGPT as Copilot uses Microsoft’s Prometheus model which has been “built upon” OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 foundational large language model (LLM). That simply means that Microsoft is able to ensure that data from its enterprise partners can be accessed and used internally (i.e. by MSU Denver stakeholders only via our two-factor authentication process) without that information and data being used to train (and re-train) the larger OpenAI model. MSU Denver gets to use the underlying technology developed by OpenAI and the functionality that comes with it without sharing our information outside of own two-factor protected “walls.”

The Learning Prompt training remains more in-depth and useful than Copilot-specific resources currently available. It is also of value for those who prefer to use Google’s Gemini as their generative AI go-to.

Note: Future integration of Copilot into Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, Teams, 和ppt将在不久的将来出现, but at the moment MSU Denver users are able to access only the 云版的Copilot. Upon completion of integration, additional resources specific to Copilot will be made available. 不过目前来看, 除了基于云的应用程序, additional resources and opportunities for experimenting with Copilot’s functionality can be accessed by logging into your Microsoft 365 account and taking a look at the 副驾驶员实验室 资源集合.
