Using generative AI for search
Recently, I’ve shifted from using DuckDuckGo to consulting AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini for information, especially on technical topics well-covered in training datasets. These AI tools often provide concise, note-like answers, similar to manual collations I used to do. Examples include managing partitions in Windows 11, running beta versions of software on Ubuntu,…

Generative AI can also generate prompts
It turns out that generative AI can also generate prompts. Anthropic have released a prompt generator that creates prompts based on your intent, which you can then edit and fine tune. More evidence that prompt engineering isn’t going to be an occupation. Sometimes, the hardest part of using an AI model is figuring out how…

Using Claude to create patient personas for health professions education
Health professions education aims to provide students with practical clinical experience and skills in person-centred care before graduating, and simulated patient interactions are a potential teaching method. However, these interactions can be resource-intensive and expensive, especially if actors are included. AI assistants like Claude provide a scalable alternative for role-playing dialogue. This post describes the…
