Incorporating AI into your work is easier than you think! Check out my new blog post in which I generate synthetic doctor’s notes, and then use text embeddings to automatically label the notes using the OpenAI API in Python.

Ok, AI folks, I'm officially on board.
It literally took me 1 hour to use generative AI via OpenAI in Python to create a classifier for categorizing URLs. This literally reduced the amount of time this would have taken from at least a week to 1 hour. 🤯

If you're a data scientist who is curious about incorporating chatGPT (and generative AI in general) into your work, give it a go! It's surprisingly easy, and the OpenAI documentation is really user-friendly: platform.openai.com/docs/qui…

Does anyone have recommendations for a platform to use to teach SQL to beginners?
Ideally one that is reasonably easy to set up (they can just download/create an account and immediately access the database) and doesn't require that they know how to use the terminal, R, or Python?
