Too often, people use Generative AI as an answer generator, rather than an option generator. When we are confronted with multiple options, it engages our critical thinking and personal aesthetics. Options force us to think about which one we are going to choose and why. This module teaches you how to use options to break out of the mode of using Generative AI to do the thinking for you.

Too many people use Generative AI like Internet search -- we ask it for an answer. The real power of Generative AI comes out when we start using it as a tool to iteratively refine content, ideas, code, and text in a conversation. This module will teach you how to use Generative AI to solve problems through a back and forth conversation.
