“… Wondering how to navigate the tidal wave of change that AI content creates? Let David and Richard be your guide. With one foot in data science / AI, and the other in the creative industries, there’s nobody better.
I’ve seen firsthand the things they’ve already been able to do with ChatGPT, turning days of work into a few carefully crafted keystrokes.
But great results come from great prompts, and this book shows you how to design superb questions and queries that give you the results you’re after. Promptly.
If you’re a marketer, a small business owner, a creator, or ... well, anyone, really, you need to clear your reading queue, clean off your bedside table, and dive in …”
