Two Months as a Prompt Engineer (with Michal Przadka) Ep #119.

Today’s guest, Michal Przadka, shares his thoughts and insights on how he integrated AI into his everyday life. Over two months he had the opportunity to use GPT4 and other tools in pretty much all aspects of his life and shared a summary of what he did and learned in a viral article, but goes into deeper detail in the podcast's longest episode! Though we do talk about how he was able to integrated generative AI is most parts of his life and how he benefited from doing so, we also dive into deeper ideas related to our concerns and hopes with this powerful technology, and of course how the future might look when we all start using ChatGPT in a more routine, habitual or day-to-day sort of way.       Before I give a brief intro to Michal, and start our fascinating discussion, I just wanted to mention that as per usual, the podcast will take a pause over August so this will be the last episode for the next month.
