ChatGPT for Baby Boomers: AI Prompt Tips by Carolyn Schrader is a refreshing, engaging, and most of all practical guide for “baby boomers” entering the world of artificial intelligence. It is written with clarity and a touch of humor. This book demystifies the use of ChatGPT and makes it easy for readers who are not particularly tech-savvy but are curious about using and even mastering AI. As a teacher, I am always interested in helping learners understand how things work. The book offers explanations that avoid technical jargon and cover the most important topics. The top 10 prompt tips and the frequently asked questions sections provide essential knowledge. I appreciated the section about the history and benefits of AI. The author also includes multiple real-world prompt examples, such as helping with memoir writing.
ChatGPT for Baby Boomers by Carolyn Schrader is practical. The writer anticipates real-life scenarios in which AI can provide meaningful help, framing ChatGPT as a friendly virtual assistant. She even gives ChatGPT a name (Sage). The chapters are logically organized, with sections devoted to family, travel, finances, and learning activities. These categories ensure we can find guidance on specific applications of ChatGPT, depending on our interests and needs. I found the top 10 tips and the ChatGPT features sections particularly useful. This is an in-depth manual that I will treasure and come back to as I teach about AI in my classes. The book highlights AI as a tool for empowerment rather than something to fear, and it encourages baby boomers to embrace new technologies, which is so important nowadays. This book is an accessible, empowering, and enjoyable starting point. I recommend it to anyone interested in AI, no matter their age.
