The Power of Libraries

In this section

You don't build a house by making your own bricks and cutting your own trees. You buy materials.
In Python, Libraries are your pre-made materials.

  • Pandas: Like Excel for code. Great for organizing data.
  • OpenAI: A library that lets you talk to ChatGPT from your code.

Example: Talking to AI#

Here is what "real" AI code looks like (simplified):

import openai

# Bring in the AI tool

# Send a message
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a joke"}]
)

# Print the answer
print(response)

You don't need to know how the AI works inside. You just need to know how to use the library to send the message.
