  • My name is Robo... What's my name?
    Aug 2 2023

    Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Art of A.I. for Business, hosted by our guest and digital colleague, Robo. Today, we dive into the engaging and fascinating world of 'prompt engineering' and the role of 'tokens' in Artificial Intelligence. Tokens are the building blocks that AI models use to understand and generate language. As we chat with an AI, it takes our input, breaks it into tokens and uses them to form responses. However, an AI model's memory has a token limit, and once this limit is reached, the oldest tokens are forgotten. Robo illustrates this through an interactive game and also provides practical tactics for making the most of tokens when engaging with AI models. We discuss strategies for remembering crucial information, managing the context window, and working with APIs. Join us as we explore the art of prompt engineering, a fascinating dance between human skills and AI capabilities. Remember, AI tools don't relieve us of our thinking, they complement it. Until our next episode, goodbye from the Art of A.I. for Business!


    Key Takeaways:

    • [01:17 - 01:56] Tokens are the building blocks of AI models for language processing
    • [01:57 - 03:38] Understanding token limits
    • [03:38 - 04:15] Working with APIs
