This lecture is from the course Generative AI For All in Plain English - Essentials.
In this lecture, we discuss the concept of generative AI as a thinking partner, a useful metaphor for understanding its capabilities. Generative AI can assist with various tasks, such as reading, writing, thinking, education, and business.
It can help optimise content for social media and websites, provide feedback and analysis, and support the user in their work. I explain that while generative AI is a valuable tool, the user remains the primary actor in completing tasks, with the AI serving as a supportive thinking partner.
