ChatGPT For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/tech))

This book helped me understand what ChatGPT is. I keep seeing this in various media but had no idea of what it was or what it can do. This book was very helpful to translate complex computerized thinking , code writing, and use into understandable information for on computer people. Recommend this as a way to understand how computers are going to reshape our future everyday life.

As others have stated here, many of the illustrations in the book are so small they are laughable. It’s as though a Wiley accountant said, “We can make more money if we shrink the size of book” without even opening the book to see the effect it would have on the content of the diagrams inside. On the other hand, the book is well written and I gained a good deal of knowledge about ChatGPT from the information and wisdom that the author shared from her experience. A lot of work and effort went into the creation of the content (including the illustrations). I am sure that Pam Baker is disappointed in the final outcome of the book, because the publishing house and not the author make cost-saving decisions like that.

This book was a lot smaller than the usual Dummies books, but I enjoyed the content. Using Chat GPT to help edit my first book was amazing! It had a way or rewording sentences or paragraphs that I struggled with. I can tell when news people or YouTubers have used ChatGPT for their video script, cause they use the word "crucial" a lot. If you're into writing books or video scripts, ChatGPT is a gamechanger for sure.

An "okay" outline of AI for the beginner. The screenshots used are very low res and nearly impossible to read. But if this is your introduction to AI it may inspire you to dig deeper.

Every single figure was completely illegible. Every. Single. One.

This book does exactly what you need: explaining all you need to learn about Chatgpt and other AI language models. I feel like I've learned a lot about this useful bit of technology. A must read for those interested in Chatgpt or for hobbyists of any kind.

Dummies books used to be great. They were full of information and most of all easy to read. This book somehow missed the mark. The book is small, and so is the font. The figures and screen shots are, for the most part, worthless. They are blurry and light, you can hardly see or read any of them. I’ve come across many pages that are stuck together. I’m not sure if I am keeping it, but since ChatGPT is a relatively new, the guides are few and far between. Either way, this book is already a huge disappointment and will probably detract my getting future dummies books.

An excellent overview of ChatGPT. Very easy to read and understand the basics of artificial intelligence. A wonderful beginning to a new technology!

Good introduction, easy to understand

Well written. Easy to follow. Good use of resources to follow up. Timely information. Highly recommended.

O livro é bem detalhado e escrito por uma repórter especializada em tecnologia. Explica porque a inteligência artificial não substitui o raciocínio humano. Fala sobre o impacto nas profissões e como se adaptar. Desmistifica a inteligência artificial como uma inteligência suprema robótica que irá nos escravizar e explica o porquê não ser este o caso. Fala sobre as alucinações da IA , que são inevitáveis, e que se deve verificar tudo que ela responde. Explica os riscos das fake news, da desinformação e do risco de intranquilidade social que pode causar com informações falsas e disseminadas. A não ser que você queira se especializar em IA por ser profissional de TI , este livro será o único que você precisa ler.

I was expecting a decent amount of content like other "for dummies" guides, but I was surprised to receive more than a book, a booklet with very superficial content. Definitely not worth the money.

Like it very much Thank you
