20 minutesGoogle's 9 Hour AI Prompt Engineering Course In 20 Minutes
You leave with the five-part TCREI structure as a repeatable checklist for building and refining your own prompts.
Computerphile. A long, calm sit-down with AI-safety researcher Rob Miles on why a model that's trained to predict plausible text will always, structurally, sometimes invent facts. Recorded in early 2023, but the underlying mechanism it explains hasn't changed and the framing is still the cleanest way to internalise "it's a fluency engine, not a truth engine."
Recorded in early 2023, so ignore any dated product references — the fluency-engine-not-truth-engine mechanism it explains hasn't changed, which is why it stays.
You can explain why a model trained to predict plausible text will sometimes invent facts, no matter how polished it sounds.
None, though it helps to have seen a short hallucination explainer like the primary pick first.

Google's own answer to 'what is generative AI, actually' — the non-technical counterpart to Elements of AI, aimed explicitly at sales, HR, marketing, and operations roles rather than engineers. Forty-five minutes to a real mental model of how generative AI differs from classic machine learning, with no code and no jargon.
Andrew Ng
Real time inside an LLM, learning to prompt deliberately and recognise where generative AI is genuinely useful versus where it's a trap. Calm, no-hype teaching — the perfect bridge from "I've tried ChatGPT once" to "I use it every day with confidence."
