AI Basics
Software that learns patterns from examples, instead of only following rules a person wrote, is called this.
Artificial intelligence (AI)
The “L-L-M” in LLM stands for these three words.
Large Language Model
Writing your prompt so you get exactly what you need is called this.
Prompt engineering
This language is the structure of a page, like the walls and rooms of a house.
HTML
A dark mode toggle runs on the frontend or the backend?
Frontend
In traditional programming, a person writes these.
The rules
An LLM’s one core job.
Predict the next word
“You are a chemistry tutor” is this prompt ingredient.
Role
This language controls how a page looks, like the paint and furniture.
CSS
This service hosts your app and updates it automatically when new code reaches GitHub.
Vercel
A time you use AI without knowing it...
face unlock, autocorrect, maps, spam filters
LLMs read these chunks instead of whole words. In English, one is about 4 characters.
Tokens
The three words behind ICC.
Intro, Context, Constraints
This language makes a page react when you click.
JavaScript
In the restaurant analogy, the waiter who carries orders to the kitchen is this.
The API
A machine learning spam filter catches “FR3E M0NEY” because it learned this instead of one phrase.
The pattern
This is the model’s “short-term memory,” or how much text it can see at once.
The context window
This framework is best for writing to a specific reader, with tone and audience built in.
CO-STAR
This is not a programming language. It is a key-and-value format for storing and sending data.
JSON
Name the secret code that identifies your app to a service, and the file where you keep it locally.
An API key, stored in a .env file (which goes in .gitignore)
In machine learning, this goes in and this comes out.
Data and answers go in, and rules come out.
Name the two reasons LLMs make mistakes, according to our slides.
Hallucinations and the knowledge cutoff
Name the five parts of RISEN.
Role, Instructions, Steps, End goal, Narrowing
