ChatGPT Lite - How to Get Started: Introduction

Part 1 of 6

Introducing ChatGPT Lite

Since the introduction of ChatGPT in December 2023, #TwinzTalk Don Tomoff and I have prioritized learning and working with OpenAI's ChatGPT and other LLMs, such as Anthropic's Claude AI.

In the work that Don and I do, we continually challenge ourselves to "narrow the path" and present actionable information that encourages others to invest in their learning and identify ways to leverage technology to benefit their lives personally and professionally. In this regard, Generative AI and specifically the ChatGPT Plus LLM have become the most urgent focus for everyone. The advancements in these technologies are going to continue and accelerate. This document is focused on an introduction to getting started with ChatGPT adoption. We are referring to this as "ChatGPT Lite."

Topics to be covered include:

• Description of Generative AI (GenAI) and how ChatGPT fits into the framework of GenAI.

• Steps to getting started with ChatGPT.

• High-level concepts to understand.

• Resources for learning - influencers and online learning courses.

• Sample of use cases to inspire your creativity for personal use.

Before diving into the topics, in our interest of narrowing the path, we consider the following steps essential:

1. Establish a ChatGPT account through the OpenAI website.

2. Enroll in ChatGPT Plus. This cost is currently $20 per month, and we emphasize that this must be considered a non-negotiable personal investment for every individual.

3. Commit to being curious and learning daily. Drip, drip, drip, the learning compounds by dedicating and investing personal time.

4. Understand that adoption of ChatGPT Plus is an individual decision and NOT subject to the approval of an employer. The opportunities to expose yourself and learn with this technology can be done personally without crossing the boundaries of professional roles possibly involving an employer's intellectual property.

With this overview introduction completed, please follow along as we delve into the specific topics!
