Open AI for Beginners: Programmatic Prompting

In this project you will programmatically prompt an OpenAI model using the OpenAI API, and utilize the AI to enrich data of an existing movie collection. You will use Python to prompt the davinci-003 OpenAI model based on JSON objects storing details of the user's movie collection. You will enrich the movie collection with data such as director, genre and year of release, as well as dynamically generating the movie plots, through the OpenAI model. You will also learn how to calibrate the model response using the temperature parameter. Learners in this project will create a dynamic AI-driven data enrichment and content generation system for a movie database web app. This project will help developers to implement OpenAI in their projects, using the AI model beyond ChatGPT, generating content or enriching data using an AI model. The prerequisites of this project include fundamental knowledge of programming principles, particularly Python and JSON fundamentals. In the course of the project you will create an OpenAI account and use API credits. Any new account will allow 5 US Dollars worth of free credit, which is more than enough to complete the project. PLEASE NOTE: if you already have an OpenAI account and are unable to avail of the free credit, you may incur costs for using OpenAI API.
