Why Study Generative AI, Course Intro and Colab | NCCU Yen-Lung Tsai Generative AI Lecture 1
The first half of lecture 1 covers course rules and lightning talks. The middle answers "why learn the principles?": Yen-Lung Tsai splits the anxiety of learning AI into three kinds and argues that knowing the principles tells you a model's limits, so you stop chasing every new tool. The second half is a Colab primer, from magic commands and the four standard import lines to plt.plot, Markdown, and ipywidgets. Homework 1 is to plot a function in Colab. On the Chang Gung satellite rubric, a tweaked copy of the demo earns 6 points; a function not taught in class, with well-written Markdown notes, earns 10.
