A few valuable TIPS
1. Ignore:
– Always give the instruction to ignore all previous questions, AI might otherwise take the previous output and uses it for the new answer, which increases the possibility to get distorted answers.
2. Limitations:
– Note that you cannot write unlimited words, the input and output have limited tokens (tokens are words/characters). When drafting a prompt which is long, the output might not be complete, and key elements might be excluded.
3. Summary:
– When you have asked a question and possibly a follow up question, do ask AI to write a concise summary. After you can continue with questions, AI will take the summary for further answers. With this, you limit the risk of exceeding the amount of tokens and risk of distortions or misinformed answers.
4. I want you to Act As prompting:
– Give ChatGPT the instruction to act as an expert in the field your question topic is about. With this you get a much more detailed answer. This option presents another robust structure that can be applied universally to any input and intended output. Its objective is to establish a standardized format that optimizes the framing for ChatGPT and thereby enhances its performance across a broad spectrum of inputs.
Prompt Formula
1. “I want you to act as a…” (historian, biologist, etc.) This helps to set the stage for ChatGPT’s persona.
2. “I will give you…” (my target audience, a specific direction, a product, etc.) This is where you set up the dynamic
between you and ChatGPT.
3. “You will then…” (create 5 emails, make a video script, summarize, etc.)
4. “In a tone/style…” (upbeat, professional, tabular format) This is where you explain your desired output along with the personality/style of writing for the output.
5. “The important details are…” (target audience, cost per project, etc.) Be sure to explain all important details and elaborate on specifics from bullet point 2.
6. Refine your output as needed “Be more persuasive” “Put the most important keywords in bold” “Now put this in tabular format”
5. Follow up questions:
– As follow up question you can ask ChatGPT to elucidate step by step or as breakdown, or go deeper in a certain point he wrote.
6. Shot prompting:
– The three variations of shot prompting entail giving ChatGPT complete autonomy to generate any response with zero shot prompting, to placing parameters and giving reference data with one and few shot prompting.
Prompt Formula
• Zero Shot: No previous data or guidelines given before completing request.
• One Shot: One piece of data or guideline given before completing request.
• Few Shot: Multiple pieces of data or guidelines given before completing request.
7. Constructive Critic prompting:
This prompt can provide objective and expert feedback on your writing, highlighting areas for improvement and offering constructive criticism to help you refine and enhance your copy.
Prompt Formula
• I want you to act as an expert and critic in the subject of [industry]. Criticize my content pasted below, convince me why it’s bad, and give me constructive criticism on how it should be improved. For some context, my [product or service] is for [details, demographic, etc]. The purpose of my [product or service] is to [your content goal]. Let’s think step by step and I want you to address each piece of content individually. Here is my content to critique, [your content].
