Introduction

Prompt writing is the process of creating a short phrase or sentence designed to inspire or elicit a response from a writer in our case ChatGPT. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as generating ideas for creative writing, sparking discussion in a classroom, or helping someone to reflect on their personal experiences. A good prompt should be clear, concise, and open-ended, allowing for a range of interpretations and responses. Effective prompts often provide a specific context or scenario to inspire the writer, while leaving enough room for their own creativity and imagination. With practice and experimentation, anyone can learn to write effective prompts that can inspire and motivate others to write. The key is to be creative, concise, and clear in your phrasing while leaving enough room for interpretation and personal expression.

The 3 Methods for Generating Powerful Results

1. The Expert Approach involves initiating a chat conversation with ChatGPT and requesting it to act as an expert in your particular topic, industry, niche, or skill. You can then provide ChatGPT with a prompt related to your field of interest and ask it to provide insights, suggestions, or solutions based on its expertise. Since ChatGPT has a vast knowledge base and has been trained on a wide range of topics, it can offer valuable insights and provide a fresh perspective on your area of interest.

You are a brilliant mathematician who can solve any problem in the world.
Attempt to solve the following problem:

What is 100*100/400*56?

Response:
The answer is 0.4464.

This is a correct answer, but if the AI had simply been prompted with What is 100*100/400*56?, it would have answered 280 (incorrect). Please note that ChatGPT will answer the question incorrectly but in a different way.

2. The Contextual Approach: Keep the same chat conversation but specify the role ChatGPT is undertaking within the context of your task/project

I want you to pretend like you're the world's best business consultant. I need help creating a business plan for my hands-free cleaning robot idea.

3. Giving Instructions: It involves providing ChatGPT with a set of clear and specific steps or guidelines to follow in order to complete a task or accomplish a goal. This can be useful in a variety of situations, such as learning a new skill, troubleshooting a problem, or completing a project.

A user has input their first and last name into a form. We don't know in which order
their first/last name is, but we need it to be in the format 'Last, First'. Convert the following:

john doe

Response:
Doe, John

Read the following sales email. Remove any personally identifiable information (PII),
and replace it with the appropriate placeholder. For example, replace the name "John Doe"
with "[NAME]".

Hi John,

I'm writing to you because I noticed you recently purchased a new car. I'm a salesperson
at a local dealership (Cheap Dealz), and I wanted to let you know that we have a great deal on a new
car. If you're interested, please let me know.

4. Few shot Prompting: It is basically just showing the model a few examples (called shots) of what you want it to do. The AI will understand the pattern and response accordingly.

What is the capital of Spain?
Madrid
What is the capital of Italy?
Rome
What is the capital of France?

Response:
Paris

5. Combining Techniques: As we have seen in the previous types, prompts can have varying formats and complexity. They can include context, instructions, and multiple input-output examples. However, thus far, we have only examined separate classes of prompts. Combining these different prompting techniques can lead to more powerful prompts.

Twitter is a social media platform where users can post short messages called "tweets".
Tweets can be positive or negative, and we would like to be able to classify tweets as
positive or negative. Here are some examples of positive and negative tweets. Make sure 
to classify the last tweet correctly.

Q: Tweet: "What a beautiful day!"
Is this tweet positive or negative?

A: positive

Q: Tweet: "I hate this class"
Is this tweet positive or negative?

A: negative

Q: Tweet: "I love pockets on jeans"

A:

Response:
positive

There is no right or wrong approach. It all depends on your goals, needs, and situation.

Write Clear and Concise Prompts

Crafting clear and concise prompts that are specific and relevant can help ensure that your ChatGPT conversations are engaging and informative.

Here are some techniques to keep in mind:

1. Define the purpose and focus of the conversation: Before you write your prompt, it’s essential to have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish with the conversation. Do you want to provide information, answer a question, or engage in casual conversation? Defining the purpose and focus of the conversation will help you craft a prompt that is specific and relevant, resulting in a more engaging and informative conversation.
2. Use specific and relevant language: To ensure that ChatGPT understands your prompt and generates an appropriate response, use specific and relevant language. Avoid using jargon or ambiguous language that could lead to confusion or misunderstandings. Instead, be clear and concise, using language that is relevant to the topic at hand.
3. Avoid open-ended or overly broad prompts: While open-ended prompts may seem appealing to get a comprehensive response, they can often result in disjointed or unfocused conversations. Aim to be as specific as possible in your prompts, defining a clear purpose and focus for the conversation.
4. Keep the conversation on track: As you engage in a ChatGPT conversation, it’s crucial to stay focused on the topic at hand and avoid introducing tangents or unrelated topics. By keeping the conversation on track, you can ensure that it covers the topics of interest to the user and provides useful and relevant information.

The Importance of Tones, Voice, & Style

Your tone, voice, and style are important elements and help to differentiate you from others. By including these elements in the prompt or asking ChatGPT to rewrite a text using your tone, voice, and style, you can ensure that the content generated is consistent with yours. Leveraging tone, voice, and style is one of the best ways to generate a more compelling, high-quality result.

Tones

Tone refers to the general attitude or mood of the content. It can be serious, humorous, empathetic, authoritative, or any other emotion that the writer wants to convey. The tone is usually set by the writer’s choice of words, sentence structure, and overall message.

Some examples of Tones:

1. 😂 Humorous – content that is funny and lighthearted. (Old Spice 🪒)
2. 🤔 Thoughtful – content that is introspective and reflective. (TED 🎙️)
3. 🧐 Analytical – content that is data-driven and factual. (IBM 💻)
4. 🙌 Inspirational – content that is uplifting and motivational. (Nike 👟)
5. 🤑 Salesy – content that is focused on selling a product or service. (Amazon 💳)

Note: Please keep in mind that some brands may convey multiple tones and that the examples provided are simply meant to illustrate how a particular tone might be reflected in a brand’s messaging or image.

Voice

Voice refers to the personality or character of the writer that comes through in the content. It is the writer’s unique style, perspective, and way of expressing themselves. The writer’s voice can be accented, monotone, booming, energetic, smooth or any other characteristic that distinguishes them from other writers.

Some examples of Voice:

1. 🗣️ Accented voice – a voice with a distinct regional or foreign accent that adds character and uniqueness.
2. 🌸 Gentle voice – a soft and delicate voice that can be soothing and comforting.
3. 🔥 Raspy voice – a voice that sounds rough and scratchy, often associated with smoking or illness.
4. 🎙️ Gravelly voice – a rough and low tone that can convey authority or toughness.
5. 🌬️ Whispery voice – a soft and hushed tone that can convey intimacy or secrecy.

Style

Style refers to the way that the content is presented. Style can also refer to the choice of words and sentence structure used by the writer. A writer’s style can be minimalistic or elaborate, simple or complex, or any other characteristic that contributes to the overall presentation of the content.

Some examples of style:

1. 🎨 Artistic style – a style that is creative and imaginative, often using vivid and expressive language to convey emotions and ideas.
2. 📚 Academic style – a style that is formal and objective, using technical language and research to present an argument or point of view.
3. 🎭 Dramatic style – a style that is emotional and intense, often using strong imagery and metaphors to convey a particular mood or tone.
4. 💡 Inspirational style – a style that is uplifting and motivational, often using personal anecdotes and stories to inspire and encourage readers.
5. 💬 Conversational style – a style that is informal and relaxed, using everyday language and a friendly tone to engage readers in a dialogue.

Combining Tones, Voice, and Style

In summary, tone is the attitude or mood of the content, voice is the personality or character of the writer, and style is the overall presentation of the content, including layout, design, and formatting. Understanding the difference between these three elements is important for creating content that effectively conveys your message and resonates with your audience.

Length

When you’re working with ChatGPT, it’s important to tell it the length of the output you’re looking for. For example, if you’re asking for a blog post, you might want to specify a word count range, such as 500 to 1000 words. Similarly, if you’re asking for social media posts, you might want to specify a maximum character count. By doing this, you can ensure that the output from ChatGPT meets your requirements and is the right length for the platform you’re publishing on.
