Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can help you learn and build new skills. It can help you learn in a way that works for you, jumpstart your creativity, and quickly assess information.
In this article, you’ll learn how generative AI can help you:
Important: Make sure to check and follow your school’s policy on using Generative AI.
Prepare for tests
Generative AI can help you learn in a way that works for you. Along with reviewing your course materials, here are some ways Generative AI can help you prepare for tests:
- Understand complex topics in creative ways: For example, “Write a rap to help me understand the trig ratios.”
- Get step-by-step guides: For example, you can ask for detailed steps on how to solve math problems.
- Test your knowledge: Ask for as many practice quizzes as you need to feel ready for your test.
Spark inspiration
Get a creativity boost when you’re stuck on a project or need a little inspiration. Generative AI can help you:
- Brainstorm ideas: Ask for 3 different intros to a video series you're recording, before writing the full script yourself. You can also ask, "Give me ten innovative science fair project ideas."
- Overcome writer's block: Ask it to suggest "Five ways to start a narration for a documentary on climate change."
You’re the creator. Generative AI is there to boost your creative process, not do all the work for you. Use its suggestions as a starting point, then add your own unique voice and ideas to create something truly original.
Quickly analyze information
You can use generative AI to quickly assess information. For example, it can help you:
- Research important events: For example, it can help you research colleges or learn about different majors. You can ask something like, “Make a list of college majors for people who love animals.”
- Understand different points of view: For example, you can use generative AI to help you get ready for a debate by asking it to argue for the opposing side.
Tips
- Always evaluate responses: While generative AI is a powerful tool, it can make mistakes. It’s important to always fact-check information using built-in tools or by double-checking with Google Search.
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to try different prompts and see what kind of responses you get.
- Be specific: The more specific your questions, the more helpful the AI's answers will be.
- Have fun! Learning should be enjoyable, and generative AI can help make it that way.
