Lesson 1 Notes

[codemillmatt]

• Let's be consistent with the naming. On this line we're referring to the course as Generative AI for .NET then on this line we're referring to it as Generative AI Fundamentals for .NET. Or is that second one referring to the lesson? Either way, let's make sure we're very intentional with names.
• Do I really need to understand the Transformer Framework to understand the rest of the course? If you need to know it, great - if not let's cut it.
• Let's really get crisp on the quick refresh of genai section. I'm turned around when we say "Generative AI focuses on creating models". What's a model? I have to create it? Get right to the point of what models are (the bullets about text generation, etc.)
• The part where we start talking about the mathematical models have limitations because they're mathematical doesn't make sense. What are the limitations? What does math have to do with it? And how does prompt engineering overcome a mathematical deficiency?
• Change this line to say "Prompt engineering review" or refresher or similar instead of leading with a verb.
• Let's make this more concise.
• I think we can clean up the description of MEAI a bit. Instead of saying "unified set of libraries" let's say "unified set of APIs for working with various AI frameworks. Enabling developers to choose their preferred framework but develop against a consistent set of APIs". Or something similar.
• Let's only include prompty if we know it's going to be a thing. Would we recommend it's use for everyday developers?
