Hello!
Thaddius here with this week’s newsletter.
Celebrating Father’s Day
First off, Happy late Father’s Day to all our parents! Whether you are a traditional father, adopted father, or even a single mother taking on both roles of parenting, we celebrate you.
Personal Life Update
A bit about my personal life – I recently reconnected with my own father after 20 years. It was an unexpected opportunity that brought up a lot of emotions and anxieties. Here’s how I turned to ChatGPT for advice on navigating this new chapter.
Introduction
This week, we have some exciting updates coming from Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference, along with some interesting research in the fields of medicine and science. I’ll also share a prompt to help you create high-quality content with your smartphone, and an excerpt from my book, “Prompt Engineering for Beginners.”
Following that will be some interesting research in the fields of medicine and science and how AI will be used to improve these fields.
I also have a prompt that will teach you how to take photos and videos off your smartphone to make high-quality content! Whether that’s you going into the office or making product shots!
Finally, I have an excerpt from Chapter 3 of my book, “Prompt Engineering for Beginners!” I realized that some of you may not even know what prompt engineering is, so I will share a little bit to quench your hunger for knowledge..

Real-time alerts enable faster medical interventions.
The technology can integrate with existing hospital systems to provide seamless support to healthcare providers.
The study showed a reduction in hospital mortality rates due to timely alerts and interventions.
Researchers use large language models to help robots navigate
The Rundown: Researchers at MIT have developed a technique that uses large language models to plan trajectories for robots. This could improve the efficiency and accuracy of robotic navigation in complex environments.
The details:
The technique involves using large language models to interpret and plan navigation paths based on environmental data.
It enhances the robot's ability to understand and predict the best routes in dynamic and complex settings.
Applications include autonomous vehicles, drones, and industrial robots.
The approach leverages the extensive training of language models to improve contextual understanding and decision-making in navigation tasks.
Why it matters: Using language models for navigation planning represents a novel integration of AI technologies, potentially improving the performance and versatility of robots. This can lead to more sophisticated and adaptable robotic systems capable of operating in a wider range of environments.
Prompt of the Week - Create High Quality Video with Your Smartphone using a Shot List
Over the weekend, I went to a friend’s college graduation celebration. Before we left, I had a thought:
“Hmmm… I feel like I can make a quick video about this and post it on Facebook to showcase what AI can do in your personal lives. Maybe I can make it meta and overlay the audio from ChatGPT virtual assistant”
(pun intended)
After about a day of editing, here is my first montage video on my Facebook profile: From City Streets to Graduation Feats - Our AI Journey
I shared this with a group of like-minded prompt creators, and we got some exciting results! Here is Irina, a Top Contributor in the ChatGPT Prompts for Business and Entrepreneurs: AI Talks AI Community.
Irina shared her feedback and results:

I used ChatGPT4-o to run my prompt, but I have seen good results from ChatGPT4 and ChatGPT 3.5.
Test with either options to see which gives you a better output!

Happy Prompting!
I decided to share some of the basics, since many of you are new to prompt engineering. You may not even know what a prompt is, and that’s okay.
I didn’t either when I first got started.
Here I answer a simple question: “What is Prompt Engineer?”
My Journey
When I first got started with prompt engineering, I made a lot of mistakes. But each mistake was a learning opportunity, and I soon developed techniques that consistently yielded great results.
In my book, I share these techniques and tips to help you avoid the pitfalls I encountered and master the art of prompt engineering more quickly.
Stay tuned for more excerpts and practical tips in upcoming newsletters. Happy prompting!
