Prompting ChaGPT

ChatGPT

Start with asking ChatGPT this:

Hey. Please give me a list of tips on prompting chatgpt

and you will get this result:

  1. Start with a Greeting: Begin your conversation with a friendly greeting. This sets a conversational tone and can help the model understand the context.

  2. Be Clear and Specific: Make your request or question as clear and specific as possible. Ambiguous or vague prompts may result in less precise answers.

  3. Use Context: You can refer to previous messages in the conversation to provide context. This helps the model understand the ongoing discussion.

  4. State Your Goal: Let the model know what you want to achieve with the conversation. For example, "I want to learn about the solar system" or "Help me brainstorm ideas for a new project."

  5. Ask Open-Ended Questions: Instead of yes/no questions, ask questions that require more elaborate answers. This can lead to more detailed responses.

  6. Specify the Format: If you want a list, summary, or pros and cons, explicitly mention it in your prompt. For example, "Can you list the advantages of renewable energy?"

  7. Provide Constraints: If you have specific preferences or restrictions, mention them. For instance, "Give me healthy dinner recipe ideas that are vegetarian."

  8. Use "In My Opinion" or "I Think": If you want the model to provide opinions or suggestions, make it clear that it should generate a subjective response.

  9. Set a Context or Scenario: Describe a scenario or set the conversation in a particular context. For example, "Imagine you're a historian in ancient Greece..."

  10. Ask for Explanations: If you receive an answer that's unclear, don't hesitate to ask for more details or an explanation.

  11. Experiment: Don't be afraid to iterate and experiment with your prompts. If you're not getting the response you want, rephrase the question or provide more details.

  12. Be Polite: Maintain a polite and respectful tone. The model responds better to respectful communication.

  13. Use Keywords: Including specific keywords related to your topic can help the model understand your query better.

  14. Provide Feedback: If the model gives an incorrect or undesirable response, you can correct it or ask for a better answer.

  15. Avoid Biased Prompts: Be mindful of potential biases in your prompts. Avoid asking the model to generate harmful or discriminatory content.

  16. Patience: Sometimes, the model may need a few exchanges to understand and provide a satisfactory response, so be patient.

  17. Vary Sentence Structure: Experiment with different sentence structures and wordings to see how the model responds.
