Is AI Mastery Possible in 30 Minutes? (ChatGPT MasterClass From a Pro 2025)

[Music] hey so you want to learn chat GPT okay cool well I suck at YouTube but I'm pretty good at chat GPT so by the end of this video you should go from Total beginner to knowing your way around the tools so you can start using them so first of all why use chat TPT well it's because it's the most popular one you want to be using the one that is going to be around for a while while so I made a little chart with Google Trends and it has the you know the four most popular ones and you can see it's just miles ahead so it's a safe bet if you're going to learn anything to learn the one that has the widest adoption and so Chachi P it's just everywhere and you're going to go through a bunch of stuff in this video I'm going to try to make it as easy as possible so you can get the most value but we're going to cover the model the navigation some tools and some other stuff but let's go one by one so there's these things called models and you've probably heard that word before but you can just think of them as a brain I have a model you have a model it's the way that the computer is trained and there's good ones there's less good ones there's premium ones and in chat GPT you have base models premium models so what does that mean well I took a screenshot of chat GPT and and if you're on the website or the desktop app or the mobile app you'll see this setting and if I went into mine at the top you'd see this drop down and if you pop that open you can see all these different options these are the different models they have really confusing names but all you need to know is the base ones are usually the ones at the top and they're cheaper and they're faster and you can ask them more questions they're the base they're the ones that you should be using if you have a quick question and you just want an answer and they're really good now premium models are the ones towards the bottom and as of today February 18th the best one is open AI 01 for advanced reasoning now why would you use something like that just real quick a premium model is a different type of model and we have two types so we have the premium and this is going to do something called Chain of Thought So just to make it simple I would say I have a question that I asked it and then the model is going to come back and instead of it just answering really quick with one answer this would be what a base model would do it would just say question question answer question answer and it would look something like this so let me scooch that over and then we have premium or sorry uh base models and premium models in a premium model it's a little bit different because you'll ask it a question and then instead of it just saying quick answer it's going to think and in there it might actually start saying what it's thinking about so if I asked it what's the meaning of life it's going to say something along the lines of the user wants to know what the meaning of life is and so on and so on if you want to learn more about that I have a different video but that's what a model is it's and those are the two big differences so you'll notice in chat GPT that you'll get limited numbers of responses if you're using the premium ones so you always want to kind of lean towards using the base ones if you're going to be asking a lot of questions you have a harder question sure go ahead use use a premium one so something in models that needs to get covered is you've probably also heard what a prompt is and prompt is the way that you talk to the computer to get the most amount of value out of it because humans when we were growing up we were trained with picture books and building blocks and and we had rattles and Legos and all these different ways to learn our language to learn how to live in the real world whereas an AI model it basically was fed a bunch of Internet so it's way of of responding to people is different it's not the same so the way that it worked the way that these models were trained was you basically had a bunch of internet and you know we don't need to get into that cuz it's probably pretty boring but it eats up a bunch of internet and then it has to learn how to respond in the best way possible and so it will answer questions differently based on how you ask it so a prompt let's say a level one prompt might be like I need some help with my homework okay well that isn't very helpful that might be like a level zero might level two might be I need some help with my math homework another version of that might be I need some help with my statistics project and we're covering X Y and Z topic app with the following format so you can see that we're slowly kind of working our way up to what would be a better prompt because this was trained on the internet and not the same way as a human you have to be very very specific there's a lot of cases where you want to do some role play so you say you are an expert on statistics and I need some help with my statistics project that covers the like hood that I will subscribe to Parker's Channel plug so this would be another level so you slowly get better at writing these prompts the models eat those prompts up models respond better to better prompts and that's the basics of it and prompts are reusable so you might say hey this one's giving me good responses like instead of me you know putting it over here in this base model which you could say is the prompt and getting back a one-word answer when I put in prompt level two let's get say in this case level three I get way better answer and so you might say wow I like this one so I want to save it and I think that's a good idea I have a full folder full of them there's actually entire websites just for this whether you're doing um image generation there's a website for that or if you're doing um marketing research whatever it is there's a bunch of websites that have really prompts I also have a whole library on trouble free which is my website so then you'd say okay cool like I have a decent prompt now I can just change out some of the words so you are an expert on topic help me with my thing I need help with that covers thing I need help with and so you end up with these templates it's like an ad lib you just kind of fill in the blanks whenever you want to use one you house them in an apple note or wherever so that's prompts next we're going to cover the main navigation so let's actually get into chat GPT so when I open it up you'll see I have something that will look a little bit different than yours depending on the account plan that you have I have a paid plan you'll see a few things at the top left so you have the new chat button that does what it sounds like it'll open up a new one of these you have Sora which is their video model now we heard that word video and we heard that word model well yeah it generates video so there are different types of models too there's the text ones which is what we're covering in this video mainly there's image models which generate images from text so I can say hey make a picture of a cat it would do that there are video models which is what Sora is and they're promoting that and that's where I can write hey make a video of a cat walking down the stairs and then I have custom GTP uh gpts confusing word right but in there these are custom these are agents that you can basically give a set of instructions and you can say hey in my case I made one that's called the landing page critic so I can give it an image of a landing page and I've already told it I've given it a set of instructions or a prompt where it will always answer as something that you know gives me a critic on a landing page and I give it some markers like hey judge it on how easy the copy is to read judge it on the design judge it on the readability the accessibility so you can give it a bunch of different things and then it'll always respond that way so you're not you know always saying hey do this so you could make one in our case to be The Homework Helper the project helper the researcher and you could say hey I want to make one and these are the things you're always going to do so in that case you might say rules be concise however you spell that but yeah give it a set of rules typically 3 to uh seven is a good number but that would be what would be in the top left is a custom GT GPT and you can hide them from the sidebar you can keep them there we're not covering how to make them in this video but that's what that is you can explore other ones that people have made if you click there what else in is in this nav is uh you have projects so I think I'm jumping around a little bit but I'm just excited to show you projects I think it's probably one of the most helpful ones so we have projects and then we'll go to in chat tools so projects are collection of chats that can follow the same in set of same set of instructions as well as some context that you give it now context is important it's what you basically give the GPT in memory so context could be our prompt here we we could say hey like you're an expert on this right and then we could actually upload some files to a project so let's make a little drawing just so you can really hammer it at home so let's say in this case I have the analysts or let's say statistics project and in statistics project I can give it a couple things I can give it custom instructions I can give it files which is context and then can have separate chats and that's really helpful so if I had a statistics project and I said okay let's put in this prompt or this set of custom instructions and then I say I want these PDFs because that's the project that I'm working on then I can just put that in there and what's so cool is then every time that I want to do that particular task I just create a new chat and I can have a bunch of them and that's really really help because then I don't have to reinvent the wheel I don't have to say the same thing over and over and over again I know you're probably looking at this fisherman guy we'll get there in a second so let's keep going now we've covered the basics of the projects now there's some tools within the chat so if I go back to chat GPT and I'm in a chat you'll see the same thing in a project so I have a project called proof promise plan which is supposed to make me better at writing hooks cuz like I said at the begin of the video I suck at YouTube and I'm good at Ai and in here I just gave it a set of instructions and I said this is what you're going to do you're going to be really good at writing Hooks and you're world class copywriter and you specialize in high impact you know here's here's a prompt right so I put that in the instructions and that way anytime it responds that's like the first message in a chat instead of me saying like hey every single time let me paste this thing in it's just going to have that which is really helpful and So within a project then I can say oh let's have a new chat and this set of tools will exist in a normal chat too you can also change the colors of them but let's start to show what those tools look like so we've covered the models just to kind of update everybody we covered that we covered that we covered that we covered all that great cool and we kind of hopped around but we're going to cover the canvas and all these interesting tools now so let's continue down our journey of the analyst so let's say I want to create a one-page report on how McDonald's affects your weight okay that's pretty simple now you'll notice there's a few Tools in here there's this search thing but I can't do it because I have search disabled for 01 now if you remember 01 is a premium model so you'll notice there's some features some tools that aren't available when I use a fancy model so in this case I'll go to 4L and then I can use search now this is going to go off and it's going to search the internet search the web right now you can't use attachments if you're searching the web so you'll find that there's different combinations where stuff works and some doesn't you also you know as a test I guess we'll just fire that off and see what happens so it's going to search the web and I can see that it found some websites and it's given me something pretty interesting and it will actually add in the citations so if I scroll over them I can see what's going on which is nice now that's the Search tool let's say I wanted to work on this kind of wanted to collaborate with it let's get a different song okay we have no music now so let's tie in another tool we're going to cover the canvas so let's say I have this and I'm happy with the draft then I can click on this button and hit canvas now as soon as I do this it can paste in what was provided to me and it will open a a new tool called canvas canvas is a collaborative editor it's kind of like Google Docs so if I paste that in it's going to immediately pop open what looks like a document and you also notice I just just click this sidebar thing and it closed it it that's what it does so now I'm in canvas and canvas is writing out the doc and what I can do is I can start editing with AI so this is where it gets really interesting now I have my one pager and I can highlight things and start to ask chpt about that particular highlight I can also bold it so it's a mixture of a text editor and and AI which is really really nice and if I had a question about this particular part I can say can you actually I'll say add more statistics and the way that you talk to these even in something small like this is still a prompt so every word matters you usually like to use strong language instead of saying please can you do this hooray please please please actually just have some confidence tell that thing what to do so now it's added a few statistics that's great and you can see that on the left hand side over here I've got a lot of stuff coming back now anytime you get a response there's a couple things that you can also do in here so you can copy what it says which is really nice when you get a big response back and you want to copy it you can just hit copy and it's done if you like the response you can grade it because then it'll start to get better over time you can say it was a bad response and this is based on different types of responses so if you had one that was about uh code project and you didn't like the way I was doing it then it will learn how you like code different thing with words without code you can have it read loud you can also edit this in the canvas so if I wanted to do that and I wanted to throw it in here I could do that there's a few other tools we're going to cover in the editor so if I wanted to I can hover over this thing on the bottom right which means I got to move myself one second just getting in the way of progress here where do I go let's go here so now I can hover over this thing on the bottom right and this is packed with features so I can add emojis I don't want to do that I don't know who would want that I can add final polish and the way you can think of this is it's basically got a prompt that it's going to run so it's going to say something along the lines of hey the user has done some good work here we don't need to change the meat and potatoes of the content but polish it that's most likely what this would look like if I click on that we can see what it does it's going to run through and it's going to give me an updated version of it which is really cool you can see the progress over here on the left hand side so we can see what it's doing we can see it's kind of going through it's thinking it's thinking it's thinking it looks like it's adding some dividers which is nice and you can also see while that's kind of gone knowing that at any point if you wanted to you can go back in time so I could do the previous version I could see all the versions I could go ahead of version if I have already gone back one I can copy the whole thing and then I can also share it so if I needed to showare this with a friend a a colleague I could do that so this is still going and it looks like it's about to be done cool it says it's refine the text and it's going to give me exactly what it did which is nice you can see if I highlight this I can reply to a reply I don't need to do that right now but I could so maybe if I said uh well I didn't want L large titles then I could reply to that particular piece cool other stuff in here you have reading level this is probably the most important one if I'm going to choose any of these it's this one so they always say that the best writing is for a fifth grader so what I always do is I just scroll down I don't like gner want Middle School what that will do is it'll simplify the language for you so this is particularly important when you're writing marketing copy sales copy any sort of writing really they say the best teachers are those who can take the complex and make it simple so that's what we're doing here we're just having it do it for us which is great and that might take some time so while that's going you'll also notice on the left hand side so again we have this kind of like split editor thing going right side canvas left side is the chat I can change the model now it looks like I could just I'm kind of locked in because I think it's that I'm in canvas but if I was not in a canvas this is where I Chang the model that's just kind of like a global setting just so you know and if I ever wanted to make a new chat and get out of canvas because we're right now we're in canvas mode then I could just hit new chat and if I wanted to get back to it I'd open up that sidebar and go back into a thread so they call them chats I call them threads let's just call them chats I'll stop calling them threads but you can see I have all these in here you can archive it if you want to you can do a couple different things you could share it I could add this to a project so if I've done a bunch of research in one and then I want to make a project out of it then I could do that I could also rename it archive it or delete it in this case I kind of want to keep looking at it so if I wanted to get back into the canvas then I'd click on opening canvas if I wanted to open it up here I can open up here so we opened it back up the last setting we'll cover is the adjust length so I can change it to longest or shortest we're going to keep it because I don't want to make you guys wait any longer other tools if I wanted to add an image now we covered this kind of as an anecdote earlier but image models are the ability to generate images and this brings up a good topic the different quality of them they sometimes have just good outputs for illustrations and when I say output it means the thing that it gets back to you so it's a nerd term you know you've heard it before in other um areas of life but it's like inputs and outputs inputs are the things you give into the machine outputs are the things you get back so this is just a simple kind of comparison of some of the popular ones this is an article that I found of a quick Google search but point is open AI isn't that great so we're not going to cover the different models in this video but if you want to learn more just go ahead and Google up image generation comparison you can see it kind of is nuts like this guy I mean they're getting really good this was generated you know the tell is always the eyes eyes always look a little bit weird but they're getting better so if you wanted to you could generate an image and you could do that right in here so I could click on use Dolly then I could say hey add a photo of some french fries one thing is it will never give you in chat gbt it typically won't give you branded stuff so if I said M Mickey Mouse eating McDonald's it's going to say hey that violates our our policies go away so let's get our bearings here we covered Dolly briefly we did the editing of docs we did this we did oh we did not do voice so voice is really important and I will make a dedicated video for this because there's so many good ways to use it but let's just give a quick example so there's two different things that you can do here one is voice mode so as soon as I click this it's going to open up what looks like someone that I'm talking to on like a FaceTime and it's real time where I can just talk to it and a good use this is I use it more on the phone or if I'm brainstorming something then I can kind of talk to it and say hey like can you think of the pros and the cons of this approach and it's like you're on a phone call with AI and uh you can use it in here and I'm going to show you that in a second but that's one use case so it will ask you for your microphone and then I'll say hey what are you thinking about this paper so far how can I make it better specific examples or personal stories to connect with your readers also breaking down com complex ideas into simpler terms can help your audience understand the information more easily keep up the good work wow what a good guy cool cool cool so that was an example of the voice mode now I clicked on end if I wanted to mute my microphone I could do that too and you'll see it shows me exactly what I said so that's what I said I can copy it I can also see how long it was that we talked and then I can see what they said back the they in this case is Cove you can change the voice if you want to you can also copy mark it hit replay edit in the canvas and then overall just rate I always recommend rating things um because it will make your experience better over time so that's one thing that I like to do now let's cover a couple more things the IOS app has this the desktop does not where you can kind of click a button and then talk to it and then it'll transcribe it really quickly and you can see the text before it goes that doesn't exist in this so if you want to talk to it you just use the voice mode there's another tool that I use but it's for a different video it's called Uh whisper but I can just hit a hotkey and then start yapping and it'll post it in there as you can see but that's for a different video on my channel and those are the The Voice modes so those are really really helpful and I highly recommend using them for learning that's one of my favorite things so now let's do a couple use cases because we haven't gotten very tactical and I want to show you some of my favorites so headlines headlines are something that if you're a writer you should be thinking a lot about whether it's a school project or even an email headlines is the first thing that somebody's going to see so I can make a quick project project in chat GPT and I'll open it up and let's make one from scratch and I'm going to just say headlines and it gives you an explanation of what a project is it's going to say it keeps chats files and custom instructions in one place keeping things tidy awesome cool one great thing that just came out breaking news is you can use the fancy models you know we haven't covered the specifics of you know the bench marks and all that nerdy stuff in here because this is for beginners if you want that again you can check out my channel or trouble-free but we can select a fancier one and it will give us a better answer o1 is going to take the longest O3 mini is like it says it's faster but it's not going to be as good and then mini High you would use for coding and it's going to be fast so this this one's the most expensive just remember that and then you'll typically use uh if you have a paid version then I would recommend always using o03 mini and um so what we're going to do is I'm going to select that one and I'm going to give it a custom instruction and just to save time I'm going to use my whisper thing and talk to it hi you're a professional at writing YouTube titles and I want you to generate 10 click bity titles that are increasingly more clickbaity you will receive a rough idea for a video and a draft of a title and you need to return the 10 titles for the publish date that's coming up so in here you can see how I kind of structured it I started with some roleplay so I said this is who you are and this is your responsibility and this is what you're going to get and some urgency I like to do that so this is how I write prompts and there's a nerdier way to do it I'll give it to you really quickly but please don't click away from the video basically because it's trained on the internet if you were a total Pro this is an advanced tactic but I'd say you'd have you know the role you'd have the purpose you'd have the instructions and then you'd have the input and you'd have the output these are called XML tags so you'd have one for each of these and if you're already like GL glossing your eyes over then just skip ahead a few seconds but this would give you the absolute best version and this is coming from the pros of chat gbt so this is this is beginner mode or this is actually like intermediate mode so just focus on something like this but if you want to be a pro you could do this and you just basically take the parts so you'd say you're a professional YouTube and you put it there you put the purpose in there instructions in there input and output the reason is because again it didn't grow up on the same types of learning that we did but let's just use this and now we're going to use this video as the use case so it has instructions if I wanted to add files I could like one example might be that I take the 50 Mr Beast titles and I put them in a text file and then I put them in here and that would be good I'm making a video on how to learn chat GPT for beginners in 2025 and I cover all the different topics in about 30 minutes and try to make it as easy as possible the title that I'm working with right now is chat GPT tutorial for beginners 2025 okay I'll fire that off and let's see what it comes back with you can see that it's reasoning you can see that it's thinking and Bam Master chat GPT in 30 minutes so this would be the least click baity and this would be the most right pretty helpful so I like that response and you'll see that this will be one of the titles that I use in this video depending on the number of views at the time that you watch it you'll know how good it was or how bad I was at recording so that's a great use case now another use case let's cover is let's see let's do we kind of talked about this one oops now the use cases H I think that there's probably a better a better last kind of tool that I want to show you that I didn't cover yet which is if I click on new chat and let's say I want to learn something I want to learn a new topic then I have What's called the fisherman prompt and please just can you see how awesome this drawing is but what it does is it gives the AI or chat GPT a prompt that says hey I want to learn this new thing can you make like a lesson guide for me so you could make one and I recommend you do this now to learn on learning chat GPT so here's the prompt this one's one of the fancy ones right so this has a couple tags in it but you can just copy this from the description and that's below and I'll say this we're going to use the fisherman prompt and I'm going to say I'm a beginner at using chat GPT and I want to learn chat GPT so I can be better at writing cool and I wanted to follow the rules to generate a comprehensive yet concise mini course for Rapid learning the course should contain chapters that teach me about these subject topics okay great well the subtopics I want to have it cover are models I want to have it cover the canvas and I want to have it cover any new tools and then there's some rules in here so it's going to use concrete examples to explain it's going to use emojis it's going to generate it one at a time and this is great and I found this on another YouTuber's channel so prompts are everywhere you just got to look for them so now what this is going to do when I send it off is it's going to start breaking down what I wanted now any topic that you want to learn it will come up with something and what's cool is it you know it did its reasoning thing if I ever want to check out how it thought I can look at that but who wants to do that and then I can see okay let's go through the models well their algorithms trained on a vast amount of text Data okay great I can see some concrete examples I can see a scenario this is kind of like stuff that we just did right and then at the end it will add some questions so if I want to move to the next chapter then I can but I would recommend making a project for this and what you can do is take the prompt that I gave you so this one and anytime that you have something new that you want to learn you can just kind of fill in the blanks and then you can ask different questions about different topics and you have this awesome teacher that's always there so that's really cool the voice thing I was going to cover this sorry that this is out of order but if you did want to learn via voice then I could pop open a new chat and just say hey I want to learn real quick about fly fishing and can you explain what fly fishing is in two to three sentences and use the internet to find recent information about fly fishing and then give me a few examples of you know fly fishing or something like that right and then you can get into a chat and actually have this tutor that you're talking to so I think that that's a really really solid uh use case for it and then let's see I think the last thing was I was going to say that you should subscribe to the channel because I have an iOS video that comes out tomorrow and it'll cover all the iOS stuff and there's a bunch of other videos that are coming out if you want to go deeper on this stuff then check out trouble free that's my education company to teach you guys how to use all these tools because I use them all the time and if you're not using them you should I promise you they'll be helpful thanks for watching and see you in the next one oh that's right you got to like the video too because that helps me out all the YouTube stuff just that'd be helpful have a great day [Applause] [Music]
