But don't worry—The Complete Obsolete Guide to Generative AI is still an essential read for anyone who wants to make generative AI into a tool rather than a toy. It shows you how to get the best out of AI no matter what changes come in the future. You'll be able to use common automation and scripting tools to take AI to a new level, and access raw (and powerful) GPT models via API.

Learn to harness AI to speed up any everyday work task, including writing boilerplate code, creating specialized documents, and analyzing your own data. Push beyond simple ChatGPT prompts! Discover ways to double your productivity and take on projects you never thought were possible! AI—and this book—are here to show you how.

Everything you learn about Generative AI tools like Chat-GPT, Copilot, and Claude becomes obsolete almost immediately. So how do you decide where to spend your time—and your company's money? This entertaining and unbelievably practical book shows you what you can (and should!) do with AI now and how to roll with the changes as they happen.

The Complete Obsolete Guide to Generative AI is a lighthearted introduction to Generative AI written for technology professionals and motivated AI enthusiasts. In it, you'll get a quick-paced survey of AI techniques for creating code, text, images, and presentations, working with data, and much more. As you explore the hands-on exercises, you'll build an intuition for how Generative AI can transform your daily work and communication—and maybe even learn how to make peace with your new robot overlords.

When used effectively, AI can make you faster, smarter, and more efficient at whatever you do. The key word there is effectively. That’s because simply interacting with an AI chat tool like ChatGPT is definitely worth the effort. But if that’s as far as you go, you’re leaving an awful lot of money—and value—on the table because the real payoff comes from automating your prompts and integrating them with your own programming and business productivity tools.

To get there, I’ll introduce you to a powerful set of third-party tools that, in one way or another, use the power of AI engines. But I’ll also show you how to use code to automate your prompts. Most of what we’ll see will be useful even if you don’t use the Python and Bash code I’ll show you. But, if you’re up for a bit of a challenge, taking your first programming steps with my examples won’t be as hard as you think: I’ll show you everything you’ll need to make it work.

Written for developers, admins, and other IT pros. Some examples use simple Python code.
