Lesson 1: What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) created by OpenAI that can understand and generate human-like text. It's trained on billions of texts from the internet and can help with writing, coding, analysis, and problem-solving.
Example
You: 'Explain quantum physics in simple terms' ChatGPT: 'Quantum physics is like the rules for very tiny things. At the smallest level, particles can be in multiple places at once, and observing them changes their behavior.'
Pro Tips
- ChatGPT remembers your conversation context
- It can't browse the internet in real-time (unless using plugins)
- Each conversation is independent
Lesson 2: Getting Started with ChatGPT
To use ChatGPT, create a free account at chat.openai.com. The free tier (GPT-3.5) is perfect for learning. ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) offers GPT-4 with better reasoning and image understanding.
Example
Free tier: Basic conversations, coding help, creative writing Plus tier: Advanced analysis, image generation with DALL-E, web browsing, custom GPTs
Pro Tips
- Start with simple questions
- Be specific about what you want
- You can edit your prompts after sending
Lesson 3: Your First Conversation
ChatGPT works best when you treat it like a knowledgeable assistant. Start with clear, specific questions and build on the responses. You can ask follow-up questions, request clarifications, or change direction.
Example
You: 'Help me write a professional email' ChatGPT: 'I'd be happy to help. What's the purpose of the email and who is the recipient?' You: 'It's to my manager about requesting time off' [ChatGPT provides a professional email template]
Practice Prompt
Try asking: 'Explain [your hobby] to a complete beginner'
Lesson 4: Understanding Context Windows
ChatGPT has a 'context window' - the amount of text it can remember in a conversation. GPT-3.5 has ~4,000 tokens (3,000 words), GPT-4 has up to 128,000 tokens. When the limit is reached, it forgets earlier parts.
Example
Token counting: 'Hello world' = 2 tokens 'The quick brown fox' = 4 tokens A typical paragraph = ~100 tokens
Pro Tips
- Start new chats for different topics
- Summarize long conversations periodically
- Save important outputs externally
Lesson 5: ChatGPT's Capabilities
ChatGPT excels at: writing (essays, emails, stories), coding (Python, JavaScript, etc.), analysis (data, text, problems), translation, summarization, brainstorming, tutoring, and creative tasks.
Example
✅ Can do: Write code, explain concepts, analyze text, create outlines ❌ Cannot do (with updates): • Can remember your preferences and previous chats between sessions if memory is enabled; otherwise, does not retain memory • Can access the internet and provide up-to-date information when agent or browsing features are on; otherwise, works with information up to its last update • Cannot perform real actions in the physical world • Cannot access your files or computer without explicit permission
Practice Prompt
Ask ChatGPT to help you with something you're currently working on
Lesson 6: Basic Prompt Structure
A good prompt has three parts: Context (background info), Task (what you want done), and Format (how you want the output). This structure helps ChatGPT understand exactly what you need.
Example
Context: 'I'm a beginner programmer' Task: 'Explain how loops work in Python' Format: 'Use simple language with 3 examples'
Code Snippet
# Complete prompt:

encoding = tiktoken.encoding_for_model(model)
tokens = 0
for message in messages:
tokens += 4 # Message formatting tokens
for key, value in message.items():
tokens += len(encoding.encode(value))
tokens += 2 # Reply priming tokens
return tokens
# Cost calculation
def calculate_cost(tokens, model="gpt-3.5-turbo"):
rates = {
"gpt-3.5-turbo": {"input": 0.0005, "output": 0.0015},
"gpt-4": {"input": 0.03, "output": 0.06}
}
# Rough estimate (assumes 50/50 input/output)
cost_per_1k = (rates[model]["input"] + rates[model]["output"]) / 2
return (tokens / 1000) * cost_per_1k
Pro Tips
