Forget your Python and R, the hottest language in AI right now is... well, the language you already know: English.
That's right, people. Large Language Models (LLMs) are the new "rockstars" of technology and science, and they're powered by natural language (slang works too!). Not everyone is a coder, but everyone has an imagination! Just some good old wordsmithing gets you remarkable results. ✨
☕ So, what's the deal?
Accessibility: Anyone with a keyboard can play, democratizing development
Expressive power: The power of language now lets you fine-tune the outputs (yes, it is a science to get it right) to do just about anything you can imagine, from writing code to visualising Homer Simpson eating vegetables.
Collaboration: Humans and LLMs can work together, building a powerful team of thinkers, doers and assistants.
🍾 But wait, is code dead?
Not at all! Code is still the nuts and bolts of building complex systems, but English acts as the bridge, the translator between our messy human brains and the silicon minds of AI.
For some of us that hung up the coding boots a long while ago, genAI has helped me ride the bike again.
So, the next time you're thinking about using genAI, remember:
Polish your prose: The better you write, the better your genAI output will be. ✍️
Think beyond the code: Focus on the problem you want to solve and let the language flow.
Embrace the future: English is the key to unlocking the full potential of genAI, so get ready for a wild ride!

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the real heroes, the coders. You can still have your fun with curly braces and semicolons, but let's welcome English to the party!
