I’ve engaged in countless conversations with individuals eager to understand what Generative AI is and how they can be using it, yet before our conversation, they hadn’t found the right point to dive in. I wanted to write an article unraveling the concept of Generative AI and illustrating how to utilize it in your lives and careers. 

Most people have been told “AI is extremely powerful”, yet still don’t know how to use it in their daily lives. By explaining what Generative AI is and how you can harness it, I believe that anyone reading this article can be made better off by taking the leap and beginning to use Generative AI.

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is the creation of systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence such as learning, understanding language, recognizing patterns, problem-solving, and decision making. Generative AI is a subset of AI that has become prevalent in the past 12 months. Popularized by systems such as Chat GPT, Generative AI is AI that can generate new pieces of content. That’s it – GenAI is simply a way for computers to generate sentences and ideas that may not have existed beforehand.

The average length of the workday has declined steadily since 1880. A Newsweek survey reports that 3 out of 4 “Gen Z” employees believe we should be working less than 6 hours per day in a 4 day work-week, in comparison to the current standard of 8 hours per day in a 5-day work week. Tim Ferriss took it a step further with his 2007 book “The 4-Hour Workweek”, which spent 4 weeks on various bestseller lists and sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

I read this book this past summer, and it had a profound impact on my outlook on life and work. Ferriss covers how he used company automation and intentional lifestyle design to win his life back, going from 14-hour high-stress days to 4 hours of work per week, all with increased outcomes for his companies. As much as I loved his book, the life he described and some of his action items felt unattainable to someone like me who lives a very structured “big corporation” life. Thankfully it’s now 2023, and AI can make this dream life accessible to everyone.

The 21st century has seen a recent boom in AI-related products and discoveries. From new transformer-centered model architectures to Dall-E to ChatGPT, new innovations are now rapidly expanding the horizon of what is possible for artificial intelligence and its applications. Recently, natural language processing (commonly referred to as NLP) has been in the forefront of this so-called “AI revolution,” and for good reason too. NLP products and services (ChatGPT and other generative AI chatbots, for instance) have brought to many people’s attention the practical, everyday uses AI can have. Moreover, creations centered around NLP have fundamentally altered — and will more likely than not continue to alter — many fields, particularly the field of education.

Although almost every educational subject would benefit a great amount from these innovations in NLP, this article will focus on applications in world language education. This is because NLP and current generative AI technologies pair very well with themes present in foreign language learning. The process of learning a language strikes a good balance between black-and-white, almost “binary” logic and fluid writing which offers more leeway: firstly, a main aspect of picking up a new language is applying logical rules (such as grammatical laws) that have a relatively well-defined set of correct and incorrect answers. Indeed, this aspect is similar to qualities present in math, science, and other STEM subjects. That said, the language classroom rarely explores the nitty gritty of logical relations present within these fields, ones that can be quite complex and may result in glaring issues for an AI model not trained to solve a specific problem. Language learning offers leeway in this sense because within the context of fluid writing, logical errors (which are bound to happen for any complex and nuanced subject) would be less detrimental.

Though AI technology has definitely impacted language learning, technologies like Quizlet or Duolingo have made large ripples in the field prior to any mass-scale wave of AI innovation. So, then, what does the future look like?

Harnessing AI for Personalized Student Learning

Ever since the release of show-stopping innovations like Open AI’s new generative AI chatbot, ChatGPT, or the company’s original artwork generator, Dall-E, artificial intelligence has been on everybody’s minds. Machine learning is still a relatively young and emerging field, and most of these mainstream technologies are all fairly new, so it’s no surprise that people have begun to gravitate towards this AI trend — after all, it shows a lot of potential. As a result, from cooking to writing essays, there have been countless AI-related topics online resources have covered, each one offering ways to use AI to its maximum potential. A vast majority of these resources concern AI prompting, the act of engineering queries to feed into AI chatbots like ChatGPT.

Now, prompting can be used in an infinite number of ways. This article covers a small pool of those methods, specifically how the act can be incorporated into language learning. Language learning is a field that AI is bound to greatly impact. In fact, apps like Duolingo have already incorporated some AI-based elements. AI and languages indeed go hand-in-hand. This is because the bulk of language learning stems from memorizing and being extremely comfortable with a set of well-defined rules. Programs like AI are quite good at identifying patterns — and in turn, rules — so they naturally excel at language learning and language translation (in fact, the field of natural language processing — teaching computers how to understand natural human languages — now mainly concerns machine learning). With this in mind, here are some of the best prompting tools to use when navigating the potentially daunting task of learning a new language from scratch.

This first section encapsulates the tools that are used in more niche scenarios; they may be powerful, but not necessarily common. When it comes to a ranking structure, these would comprise the lower five tools.

AI is a rapidly evolving field that's transforming a multitude of industries, including the investing realm. One key aspect of AI development is the concept of fine-tuning, a technique that allows models to learn from small, specialized datasets by building on the knowledge acquired from larger, general-purpose ones. In other words, fine-tuning allows a pre-trained AI model to learn and adapt to a more specialized task, even when the available data for the specific task is limited. In the realm of investing, fine-tuning has the potential to revolutionize traditional approaches, providing finance professionals with advanced tools to assess risk, identify opportunities, and enhance decision-making. Essentially, fine-tuning helps produce more specific and desired outputs when using generative AI.  


Some models used for fine tuning are davinci-003 and davinci. Text-davinci-003, a modern and proficient model, is specially created for tasks that require adherence to instructions. Its design empowers it to provide concise and precise responses, even when no example prompts are presented (known as zero-shot scenarios). In contrast, davinci is highly effective when fine-tuned for a specific task, given the availability of several hundred training instances. Among other models, these can be used to help determine the most suitable model for investment-related tasks. Fine tuning these models further enhances their performance and tailors them to the specific needs of investment firms.


Fine-tuning, at its core, is a transfer learning technique. Click 

 to use generative AI to get a recommendation if fine-tuning is right for your task. Fine-tuning involves taking a pre-trained AI model, usually developed and trained on a large and diverse dataset, and adapting or 'fine-tuning' it for a specific task. This is achieved by continuing the training process on a smaller, task-specific dataset. The concept significantly reduces the need for extensive computational resources and time – two vital assets that are traditionally expended in the initial training process of an AI model. The technique leverages the general knowledge the model has acquired to rapidly learn the specificities of the new task. Moreover, fine-tuning allows the application of AI in scenarios with limited data availability, which is a common occurrence in specialized fields like investment news.
