Generative AI in a Nutshell - how to survive and thrive in the age of AI

Basically a full day AI course crammed into 18 mins of drawing & talking. Target audience: Everyone.

Covers questions like What is generative AI, how does it work, how do I use it, what are some of the risks & limitations. Also covers things like autonomous agents, the role of us humans, prompt engineering tips, AI-powered product development, origin of ChatGPT, different types of models, and some tips about mindset around this whole thing.

Here is the full drawing:

Voice translations:

Would you like to make a voice translation? ElevenLabs can do really voice translation which even sounds like me :)
You can also do a manual dub with your own voice if you prefer. Whatever works best.
2. Make the video & upload it to youtube or somewhere.
3. Make sure the description shows that this is an AI translation, and include a link to the original video.
4. Send a link to me (for example via a comment) and I'll add it above.

How wonderful that we live in a time where incredible content like this is available for free on the internet

One of the most clarifying, comprehensive, helpful, insightful videos I 've seen on this topic. Really excellent.

I get hundreds of comments of people asking how I make these videos, what tools I use, what process, etc.
Well, I was recently interviewed about that in the Visual Jam podcast, and there I show hands-on how I make videos.
We start by talking about other things (my experiences from Spotify, LEGO, Minecraft development, etc). The how-do-I-make-videos part starts around 26:10.

I've worked in and around AI since the mid-90s, and this is one of the best explanations of the current state-of-the-art I've seen. It's a semester course crammed into eighteen minutes. I'm sharing this with a long list of people. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to produce this brilliant summary Henrik. I'm going to practice my prompting like you suggest. Exciting times ahead if we approach it positively and remain vigilant to the possible pitfalls.

As a visual learner this is GOLD. Thanks for sharing!

[jessicagriffin]

I LOVE the picture explanations of all your content! It really helps the visual learners and artists!!!! You packed a TON of super good information in a time frame that is much more bareable to sit and listen to. Some people sit and talk for 1-2 hours and it is PAINFUL to listen to regardless of the good information bytes in them. Well done and I look forward to following you more!

Super clear and informative and has a lot of charm with the drawings 😄

[chrismcguyer]

Wow. This is by far the best descriptive video around Generative AI and how to use it. THANK YOU!

[johnpingo]

This was the best introduction to LLMs that I've found on YouTube. It presented some very complex topics in an easy to understand and fun manner. Thank you!

[peaceeze]

This is easily the best explanation on generative AI that I have see. Thanks for this!

[ngmohan]

one of the best videos on YouTube simplifying what Gen AI is and how it works..

[RammyAndrei]

I am amazed how well you structured everything.... and sharing the drawing is 🤯 unexpected. Congrats and many thanks! 👏🏼

[vsbelieve]

I have done 11+ course (around 40+ hours) on Generative AI and LLMs but let me tell you 70% of that was covered in this tiny 18 minute video, This video is so simple and so informative, feels illegal to be free. Thanks Henrik great work!
