How Ants Write Poems and Extract Keywords with AI

Hello tiny thinkers,

It’s Professor Antony here, broadcasting straight from my underground ant-lab (right next to Tunnel 4B, under the big oak leaf 🍂). Today, I want to tell you a story about how we ants use AI to make sense of the mountain of information we crawl across every day.

The Leaf Report Problem

Last week, the Queen tasked me with summarizing our entire colony’s weekly Leaf Report. That’s 14 pages of notes from scouts, workers, and leaf-chewers! My antennae nearly curled from stress.

So I turned to a mighty tool: the Large Language Model (LLM)—the same kind that humans use in tools like ChatGPT.

Prompting with Purpose

I gave it a “prompt”—that’s just a fancy way of telling it what I want. I typed (on my tiny leaf-keyboard):

Boom! The model processed my request and spit out a neat summary:
“Ant scouts collected 3 types of leaves, with mint being the most popular. Tunnel 3 collapsed but was repaired. Queen requests more leaf art.”
Perfect! I looked like a genius in front of the Queen.

Then I Asked for More:

I got curious. Could this AI help with other things?
So I tried:

• “Generate a poem about teamwork in the style of ant-hill chants.”

• “Give me keywords about leaf types based on their similarities.”

Each time, I prompted it clearly, and each time, the AI delivered what I needed—writing, summarizing, and even extracting keywords.

What’s the Lesson Here?

1. Prompting = Clear Instructions.
   If you tell the AI exactly what you want (like “summarize this” or “write a poem like this”), it can give you something amazing in return.

2. The LLM is the Brain, You’re the Boss.
   The model has read more than we ever could—but it needs your prompt to know what to do.

So whether you’re an ant sorting leaf notes or a student writing a paper, remember: how you ask matters just as much as what you ask for.

If you’re curious about the future of technology, want to boost your skills, or just want to try something new, the Google Generative AI course is a smart place to start.

Until next time, keep learning in ant-sized bites.
