"This talk will focus on practical applications of ChatGPT and similar AI models (touching on Copilot) in an academic context. I have played with such tools for over 3000 hours, and also was and still am an Alpha tester for GPT4 and related LLMs. In that time, I tried doing a lot of things with LLMs, some in which they do well and some in which they don’t do as well. I will share some of these areas of strength and weakness, and then I will try to give you a toolkit of tips and tricks that can help you make an LLM perform better at the things you care about. Hopefully through this process you will be inspired as to what you can do with it, and, get some practical tools to make it happen."
