  1. Will Be Trying Out An AI Chatbot After Reading This!
    This is a great little book about how to integrate assistance from AI chatbots into ones life for study, academic research, writing, and much more. Josh Thorpe makes it clear that the idea is to work smarter with what you know and are learning, not to have AI do the work for you. The book focuses on how to do this using effective prompts. Many examples are provided. As someone with no experience using AI chatbots, I found this introduction very informative and helpful and now I can think of many reasons to use one.

  2. straightforward approach
    AI for Students is a concise and engaging guide on leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to enhance creativity and productivity. Thorpe’s practical, straightforward approach emphasizes using AI to sharpen your own skills rather than doing the work for you. The comic-style format adds a fun touch while delivering solid advice on study habits, brainstorming, and managing long texts. I particularly valued the balanced view on AI’s limitations and the practical tips for transforming notes into effective study aids.I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

  3. Visually Fun Learning!
    AI is rapidly becoming a big part of every aspect of our lives, and it will be critical for our young people to know how to leverage it for success. This book is an excellent resource for students who want to use AI to improve their academic performance. The illustrations make the content easier to understand and fun to read, especially for those who are new to AI concepts. Perfect for students who want to stay ahead of the game!

  4. A good orientation
    This book is a good orientation to the potential uses of AI in support of learning. It encourages and provides examples of how AI can be used as an aid for thinking and studying, rather than as a shortcut. I appreciate that it includes notes of caution about the potential impacts, shortcomings and risks involved in using these tools.

  5. Good information
    My grandson is hone-schooling now and I wanted to share tips with him about how he can study more efficiently. AI tools have assisted me with and this book has some great information on how to use it to assist him with his schooling.

  6. Highly recommend!!
    This is just what our active son needed to give him some positive ways on to using AI. He loves games, and some of the ideas in this book really resonate…

  7. Wonderfully illustrated
    The author breaks down the application and history of AI into easily digestible information for students, teachers, and creative people. Wonderfully illustrated and well organized gem of a book.

  8. AI for Students (AI4S) is an inviting, unthreatening look at the technology the everyone is talking about.This transparent and airy volume with its focus on education is particularly timely and necessary in these somewhat early times.This new take brings us the positive side of AI in light of the burgeoning adoption of AI.However, AI4S also presents the cons honestly and frankly and up front – not glossing over or sweeping under the rug the many difficult topics.Illustrations move the themes ahead and present human centric examples of what prompt engineering/generativeAI can achieve.AI4S presents a number of “creative hacks for academic success” as it promises in the title.Everything from study aids to exam prep to brainstorming.I found the tips on processing ones own notes, analyzing long texts and rapid prototyping the most compelling.My teenage daughter said that AI4S arrived just at the right time and she seemed unintimidated by the uncomplicated format.I had been looking for something for her and it turns out I found something for myself, too!But ultimately, as it pertains to AI – “good ideas in, good ideas out” really says it all.AI for Students has a lot of good ideas and is really worth checking out.

  9. As a university lecturer, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help student learn how to use AI tools. Amidst all the panic about the implications of AI for higher education, it’s wonderfully refreshing to find a book like this which focuses on enabling students to use AI in creative ways. And crucially, the emphasis is on how AI tools can enhance students’ own learning, not replace the learning process.The book works through a range of different approaches to using AI tools in a really accessible and engaging way – the illustrations are just great and I love the sense of humour too. Each chapter takes the reader through the process of prompt engineering (without using jargon like that!) to help students do everything from processing their own notes to clarifing their thinking and planning essays. And the author isn’t afraid to tackle the ethical issues around AI usage along the way, so the book should help students to develop a critical understanding of AI as well as learning how to use it.I’ll definitely be recommending it to my students!

  10. As a recent student, I found this book super helpful. Thorpe simplified a new and complex topic — AI — with clear, engaging explanations and examples. Its well-organized structure and made it easy to grasp. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking to better understand AI in educational contexts!

  11. The thing I love most about this book is how inclusive it is for people with additional support needs.The careful choice of the font and layout of the book makes it much easier to read than some traditional books.I love that the emphasis is on us as humans using AI as just another tool, which is basically what it is!Examples of productive and helpful ways to use and interact with AI, make the whole concept much more digestible.Would recommend this book if you are struggling with where AI fits into education and how best to interact with it.

  12. This is a thoughtful and wonderful resource. This author is clear and curious and really goes into great depth on this new and exciting topic. Thank you for this book! Definitely worth the read!!!
