This book equips you with the skills to harness the power of Generative AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), to create various text formats. Get ready to experiment, explore, and unleash your creative potential!

Part 1: Unveiling the Power of Generative AI and LLMs

We'll begin by demystifying Generative AI and understanding how it transforms text creation. You'll then delve into the capabilities of LLMs, the powerhouse behind this technology. Through interactive exercises, you'll gain firsthand experience with pre-trained LLMs, exploring their strengths and limitations.

Part 2: Mastering Text Generation Techniques

Now that you're familiar with the tools, let's explore specific techniques for generating different text formats:

• Text Inpainting: Imagine restoring missing sections of historical documents or poems. We'll use LLMs to fill the gaps and reconstruct the text, putting your detective skills to the test with hands-on exercises.
• Text Summarization: Information overload is real! Learn how to leverage LLMs to create concise summaries of lengthy texts, like research papers or news articles. You'll practice generating summaries for presentations or reports through engaging exercises.

Part 3: Unleashing Your Inner AI Artist

Get ready to tap into your creative side! We'll explore how LLMs can assist you in crafting various artistic text formats:

• Storytelling: Spark your imagination with a starting line and see where the story unfolds! Prompt the LLM and collaborate on creating engaging narratives. Exercises will guide you in co-writing stories with an LLM, taking turns adding sentences.
• Poetry: Let the AI muse inspire you! We'll experiment with generating poems in different styles, from classic sonnets to modern haikus. Challenge yourself with themed haiku writing exercises using LLMs.
• Code Generation: Stuck on a coding problem? Discover how LLMs can become your coding assistant! We'll explore using LLMs for code completion and bug detection, putting their capabilities to the test with practical exercises.

Part 4: Refining Your Craft - Advanced Techniques

Ready to take your skills a step further? We'll delve into advanced techniques for generating more refined and controlled text outputs:

• Conditional Text Generation: Imagine guiding the LLM to create text that adheres to specific requirements. We'll experiment with specifying genre, style, or even keywords to influence the narrative in your exercises.
• Sampling Techniques: Discover how to generate diverse outputs from a single prompt! Explore different sampling techniques with LLMs and see how they impact the creativity and unexpectedness of the generated text. You'll compare and analyze outputs generated with different sampling methods.
• Style and Tone Control: Want your text to sound formal, funny, or even sarcastic? You'll learn how to control the stylistic elements of the generated text, tailoring it to your specific needs. Exercises will guide you in generating product descriptions with different writing styles.

By the end of this workshop, you'll be a confident generative AI text creator, equipped with the skills to experiment with LLMs and produce creative, informative, and engaging text formats tailored to your needs.
