its_me_xiphos OP , 24 days ago to Technology in Advice - Getting started with LLMs

I really appreciate all the responses, but I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information and possible starting points. Could I ask you to explain or reference learning content that talks to me like I'm a curious five year old?

ELI 5?

its_me_xiphos , 1 month ago to Technology in What do you personally use AI for?

I'm using Claude (subbed) to help me do qualitative coding and summarizing within a very niche academic framework. I was encouraged to try it by an LLM researcher and frankly I'm happy with the results. I am using it as a tool to assist my work, not replace it, and I'm trying to balance the bias and insights of the tool with my own position as a researcher.

On that note, if anyone has any insights or suggestions to improve prompts, tools, or check myself while I tinker, please, tell me.
