The Art of the Prompt

For many of us, ChatGPT works very much like a search engine akin to Google. Users submit a query and wait for a response from the Artificial Intelligence.

 

While the basic level of ChatGPT is satisfactory, it lacks personality, detail, and accuracy in many cases.

 

ChatGPT is an incredibly powerful AI trained using millions of resources on the internet but even so, it has its limitations and that’s where “prompt engineering” comes in.

 

Prompt engineering refers to the skill of crafting an input in such a way that it gives more accurate and desirable results from large language models such as ChatGPT.

 

In short, the theory is this: rather than speaking to ChatGPT in a conversational manner, you should instead treat your commands as if you were delivering a brief to a writer.

 

The key is to use specific language and use as much context and detail as possible.

 

Think about these things when creating your next ChatGPT effective prompts:

 

  1. Your objective, the format, the tone of the response, your intended audience and the text length.
  2. Sum up all of the points you need to address.
  3. Detail the specific requirements, such as not including jargon or asking for the first few paragraphs or asking ChatGPT to provide a summary.

ChatGPT Prompt Limitations

Now, even by doing all of this, you have to keep in mind a couple of things: ChatGPT is only trained on data leading up to late-2021, so anything after this date is subject to estimation and two.

 

Although large language models are extremely clever they are still prone to mistakes and inaccuracies.

 

Every response will need to be fact-checked and (most likely) heavily edited. ChatGPT does not cite sources for its responses either so you will need to verify them yourself.

 

Look at this example below of a user asking ChatGPT to write an article about the concept of Artificial General Intelligence with a detailed brief:

At first glance, it all looks pretty convincing but in reality, there are several inaccuracies and falsities. This is why you absolutely verify and check ChatGPT responses.
