What If Yoda Taught You Drupal?

Blog post
Posted on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 - 18:03 by Blake Hall

Earlier this quarter, our team got together in Boise, Idaho for our annual retreat. These retreats are always a great opportunity to reconnect, and also to talk about the future of our business. One of the things that's been coming up in a lot of our discussions is how we could leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve our product, customer service, and learning outcomes for our members. I think it's fair to say that no one on our team is an AI expert at this point, but we are all at least curious.

So, while we were having this discussion I did the only logical thing I could think of: I visited chat.openai.com and asked "How would Yoda go about helping me learn Drupal 10?"
