No-BS ChatGPT: The Basics in 1-Hour

1. Class Introduction: Welcome to the BS C GPT series where we cut straight to the Chase and show you practical real life applications of Ca GPT. In this first class of the series, I'll show you how to get started with Cha GPT and teach you the essentials in less than an hour. Since Open launched Ca GPT in November 2022, it has truly blown people away. It's ability to chat just like a human cut us all off guard and made us feel like we were stepping into the future. And now that the initial hype has settled, it's time to learn how to integrate this groundbreaking technology into our daily workflows. Hi. My name is Ronnie Hermosa, and I am a YouTuber educator and entrepreneur. Today's class is about helping you take your first steps into your CGPT journey. And I'm not sure what kept you waiting for so long, but today is the day you dive in. Ch GPT has been extremely useful for me as a content creator. And as a matter of fact, not just for me. It took C GPT just two months to get to 100,000 users, making it the fastest adopted app in the history of apps. For the record, it took nine months to TikTok to get to that threshold in 2016. So why exactly is everyone so excited about this AI chat bot? Well, some say it's the best thing since the invention of the Internet. And for having used it for about a year now, I can't have to agree with that. It's just really amazing when you use it properly. This class will teach you the basics of using CT CPT from signing up for your free account to discovering new ways it can boost your productivity. You will learn what C GPT can do for you and how it can add value to both your work and personal life. We'll also take our first steps into the world of prompt engineering, AKA, the art of writing effective prompts, because the quality of your prompts is what will make the difference in your experience using CGPT. Write lousy prompts, and you'll get lousy results. To follow this class, you don't need any prior knowledge of AI nor CGP. All you need is an Internet connection and an open mind. My plan is to publish a series of classes about CA GPT over the next few weeks. This is the first one of the series and will help you get started. I call the series the NoBS C GPT series. No BS because I go straight to the point, showing you only relevant prompts that actually help me move the needle and get things done. And, guys, make sure you hit the follow button here on skin share and take a peek at my profile to stay updated on the upcoming classes in the series. 2. Signing up for ChatGPT: All right, guys, first thing first, let's get you setup with a chat GPT account. Chat GPT is a product from an American company called Open AI. So let's head over open ei.com and click on that chat GPT button in the top right corner. If it's your first time using the chat button, you would have to sign up, create a new account. Otherwise, you can simply log in and use your existing account. For the rest of this lecture, I will assume this is the very first time you are using CGPT. Go ahead and enter your e mail, create a password, make it a good one, and follow the steps to verify your account. It is likely at this stage that Open AI will also ask you for a phone number to verify your account. Be careful and make sure you give them your real phone number, because otherwise you won't be able to verify that account. In some countries, open AI will also let you verify your account via a whatsapp number. Don't worry. This is all very normal. I have been using CGPT for months now. And open, I actually never sent me any text messages. So this is completely normal, and it is completely safe. Open eye will also ask you for your name and your birth date. And yeah, it's pretty funny that in order to be able to use the robot, you got to prove that you're a real human. And that's it. You now have your very own chat GPT account. Now, go ahead and refresh your page, type in the URL chat dot open eye.com, login with your brand new open I account, and say hi to C GPT. Who's excited here. Now, before we move on, I would like to let you know that what you're using right now, is the free version of C GPT, which at the time of filming in this course, relies on GPT 3.5. That is the name of the language model or its version, if you prefer. There is a more advanced version called GPT four. But to be able to use this more capable model, you'll need to upgrade to Ch GPT plus, which is the paid version of C GPT, and it's worth 20 American dollars a month. Now, as a beginner, I wouldn't recommend you to upgrade right away. I would suggest you to first see if the tool is the right one for you. Though something tells me you're gonna love playing around with this thing. Okay, Ronny, I now have an account, but what can it do? And how do I use it? Well, let's find out in the next lecture. 3. Creating your First Prompt: To the question, what can C GPT do? The short answer is, well, pretty much anything you could think of as long as you can formulate that ask clearly. Let me show you. Our very first prompt will be to ask GPT what it can do. Here's the prompt I will use for that. Give me bullet points of what GPT 3.5 can do. Notice that I ask GPT to format its answer in bullet point, so it's easier for me to read them. There you go here is CPTs answer. Certainly, here are some of the capabilities and features of CGP 3.5. Natural language understanding, contextual responses, answering questions, language, translation, et cetera, et cetera. I gave me a list of 20 bullet points. Then at the end of its answer, it says, please note that CP 3.5 may have some limitations and biases and should not be relied upon for critical or sensitive tasks. It's essential to use it responsibly and verify critical information from reliable sources. So I like that we have this warning message at the end of the answer, kind of like giving us a taste of Chachi Pits limitations as well. The beauty of Chachi PT is that you can continue the conversation and it will remember what has been said in that conversation. And that is if you're not leaving your chat. So let me show you the interface here. I have several chats right here. But if you're staying within the same chat, you can continue prompting and Chachi Pit will remember what has been said before. So it gave me a list of 20 functionalities right here, which I believe is a bit much, so it's difficult for me to retain all of that information. So I continued prompting and I asked, what would you say are the five most important things among these 20. And then CPT answered, well, selecting the five most important capabilities from the list depends on the specific use case and context. However, considering general applicability and usefulness, the following five capabilities could be considered, highly important? So we have natural language understanding. We have contextual responses, answering questions, language translation and code writing. Now, I could refine that list to what ChaGPT believes is the top five. I continued prompting and I asked, great. Now, can you make each point less than 50 characters? That is me continuing to prompt here so that I can mold the answers in a format that is convenient for me to process because here I have my five most important features of C GPT, but it's still quite long to read. That's why I'm asking it to reduce each of the bullet points to 50 characters. To which it answered, sure, here are the five most important capabilities of C GPT 3.5 each in less than 50 characters. Natural language understanding comprehends human language, contextual responses, relevant and coherent interactions. Answering questions provides factual information, language translation translates between languages and code writing, generate code snippets. I went from 20 bullet points to a top five, which is very easy for me to digest. I hope this gives you a good first look at what the chat bot can do. Now, let's dive a bit deeper and explore the different ways CGPT can assist us in our everyday tasks. Okay. 4. What ChatGPT Can Do for You: All right, folks, in this lecture, I want to show you that everyone can integrate CGPT in their daily routine. I genuinely believe that it can significantly boost your productivity and this, no matter what type of job you have. Let me try to illustrate that in this lecture by showing you a real case example of how I use CGPT in my work. Before we start, and as a general rule, in order to get the best answers from the AI, we need to give it some context. Put CGPT in a specific situation so it understands the circumstances. In this lecture, I will show you prompt CGPT to assist with my work as a content creator who produces educational content. So my real life. As I told you, it's always good to start with some context. So here is my initial prom. I am a YouTuber, an educator. I create free tutorials that I share on YouTube and paid courses for platforms like Udemy and SkillShare. I mostly teach how to use tools like Canva and generative AI to other content creators and entrepreneurs. What would be ten different ways to use CGPT to help me with everyday task as a content creator. So I'm basically here giving CGPT some context about my work. And then asking it to help me pretty much work faster. Like, what are ten different ways I can use C GPT as a content creator. So there you go as a content creator and educator, CGPT can be a valuable tool to streamline your everyday task and enhance your content. There are ten different ways you can use C GPT. So number one, content ideas and brainstorming, use CGPT to brainstorm content ideas for YouTube, blog post, courses, et cetera. Number two, script and outline generation to generate outlines for my courses. Number three, editing and proof reading. That's interesting. Use CGPT to prove read and edit your content. Number four, creating thumbnails and graphics. Number five, video title and description optimization, number six, engagement strategies, keyword research, market research, social media post, and responding to FAQs. All right, so I have these ten bullet points with ideas on how Ch GPT can assist me in my work as a content creator. Now, you could pretty much follow up with another prompt and ask CG PT to develop any of these ideas. Okay? So let's take, for example, the first idea to use CGPT to brainstorm content ideas. How could I ask Chachi PT to do that for me? Well, let's just ask it. So I would follow up with this prompt. I like your first idea. Content idea and brainstorming. I just take the same exact phrasing as what ChaGPT gave me here in point number one. But I'm going to ask it to generate a prompt so that I can prompt C GPT to obtain the information I'm looking for. So the prompt I will be using is this one. Give me an effective prompt to get C GPT to generate ideas for my business. And this is your 0.1 of your answers. And here is CGPTs answer. Certainly, to effectively prompt CGPT for generating content ideas for your business as a content creator and educator, you can use the following prompt. Then it gives me the prompt. I'm going to read the prompt to you. You'll see there are some square brackets in there where I can swap the data inside these brackets for whatever I like, that would be the factors that we customize my prompt. And the prompt goes like this. Generate creative content ideas related to opening the square bracket, your niche or topic, closing the bracket, keeping in mind my target audience, which consists of opening the bracket, describe your target audience, characteristic and interests, closing the bracket. I'm looking for fresh and engaging topics that can be used for YouTube videos, blog post, or online courses. I have a very complete prompt right here that I can customize by replacing what's between the brackets, in order to generate content ideas. And I can also play around with the last bit that could also have been between brackets, which is the platform I will need this content for. This is great. And now, let me show you how I used this prompt and replace what's in between the brackets for my information, my data. Okay? So this is how I use the prompt. Generate creative content ideas related to the consequences of not using AI when everybody else is using it. So that is the topic I would like GPT to develop for me. Keeping in mind my target audience, which consists of beginner content creators and entrepreneurs who want to build a business around content creation. I'm looking for fresh and engaging topics that can be used for my next YouTube video. You see how I pretty much customize the prompt to fit my needs. Once you've customized your prompt, you can hit Enter and CGPT will start brainstorming the ideas for you. There you go. I'm going to read some of them. Certainly, here are some creative content ideas for your YouTube video on the topic, the consequences of not using AI when everybody else is using it tailored for your target audience of beginner content creators and entrepreneurs. So here, I have ten video ideas with a little bit of an explanation of what I could showcase in these videos. The first one, why AI is a must have tool for content creators. Explore the essential role of AI in content creation, highlighting the advantages it offers in terms of efficiency, creativity, and competitiveness in the market. And then it goes on with nine more ideas, common mistakes, not embracing AI in your content business, AI powered content creation, step by step guide for beginners, et cetera, et cetera. So this was Chagpt helping me brainstorm content ideas. Instead of starting from a blank page and scratch my head over, what am I going to create next? Well, I can just prompt CGPiti and brainstorm with it. And you see, it very quickly gives me a bunch of different ideas that I can decide to explore further or not? Maybe it's not interesting. Alright. So now, let me show you another way I use C GPT for my work. This time for content research. One of the places where I like to search for good content is Linkin. So I read a lot of lintin content, but also Linkin articles, just like this one, the evolution of AI and ten amazing AI tools for creatives. So in this Lintin article, the author, Tina H, will talk about ten different AI tools that she found interesting. Okay, so the article is pretty long. So what you can do, is to select all of that text right here all the way to the title here, copy that, and then paste that text into CGPT together with a very simple prompt. Let me show you. So there you go. I have pasted the entire article right here, and above it, I pasted my prompt, which is very simple. It says, sum up the main ideas of this article. If your article is too long, you might not be able to paste it in one single shot. I will show you a bit later in the course how you can work around this. But for now, this article is not too long, so it did fit in my contextual window right here. So there you go. This is the answer that CT GPT generated for me. It gives me general overview of what the article is all about. And then it tells me, The main ideas covered in the article gives me one, two, three, eight different ideas. So here, the number of bullet points will obviously depend on the content of the article you are trying to summarize. I'm just trying to show you that for research purposes, you can quickly scheme through articles and read through summaries of these articles. So again, here, eight different bullet points, AI and creativity, AI tools for image editing, AI tools for copywriting, for video creation, music production, new design, project management, and social media marketing. So I have, I would say a fifth of the text that was in this article, and it's nicely summed up for me. Another very useful source of information when I do my research for creating content is YouTube. And fortunately, we can do the exact same thing summarizing an entire article. But instead of a linking article or a blog post, we can summarize a YouTube video. So let me show you how I would do that with just YouTube, and the free version of Chat GPT. I would start by finding a video, okay? So the video I would like to summarize is this one right here. Very popular video. It has 800 K views. And this video is titled Mr. Beast share his Best YouTube advice. Okay? It's right here. I'm going to click on the video. If you knew what I knew, you could get ten millions of traves within six months. Okay. I'm not going to play the video further, but what I want to show you is that I can summarize this video just like I summarized this Link in article a few seconds ago. All I need to be able to do that is the transcript of the video. All right? So in order to get the transcript, you can simply scroll down the description, and you should see at the bottom right here below the chapters, if the video has chapters, show transcript. So I'm going to click on Show transcript, and the transcript is going to be generated right here. Use the three little dots to toggle the timestamps off. Yeah, I don't need the timestamps. All I have to do is simply to drag everything here while holding my click to copy this entire transcript right here. Make sure I get everything, right click copy. Then I can come back to C GPT. Use this simple prompt, sum up the main ideas in this video, highlight each idea in board. I'm giving it extra information about the formatting, so it's easier for me to read. Then I pasted the entire transcript of the Mr. Beast video. Long as your video is not longer than let's say 15 to 20 minutes, you should be able to fit the entire transcript in the contextual window of CPT. There you go, CPT summed up this video transcript for me, and it says, in this video, Mr. Beast shares his best YouTube advice for growing a channel and getting views. The main ideas are, and then I have 11 ideas right here. Indeed, each idea has been bolded for me to quickly being able to read them to skim through them. Just going to go very quickly over that content, stop over thinking and start uploading, focus on quality over quantity, understand your audience, create compelling titles and snails, keep viewers engaged, et, et cetera. 11 golden nuggets from Mr. Beast, the king of YouTube himself. This is very powerful for content research. You can learn from YouTube videos without having to go through them to watch them. Alright, so how can I go even deeper? How could I use this to really help me with my daily task? Well, let's assume I have 11 points right here. Let's assume I would like to translate that into another language. Well, I could use a prompt like this one. Please translate points one to six into Spanish, and then 0.7 to 11 in French. Okay? So I have 11 points one to six in Spanish, seven to 11 in French. And then CGPT will very quickly translate all of that text into the two desired languages. So I speak both of these languages, Spanish and French, and I can guarantee you that the translation was very accurate. So yeah, it did a great job at just simply translating content. Something else you could do is just ask GPT an idea based on a piece of content that is suggested you could create. You could ask it to go deeper and actually create an entire script for you. I tried that and I prompted, give me the script of a 59 second short form video for YouTube about three tips for finding your own voice as a content creator. I went back to the at point number ten B, unique and authentic, rather than copying others. Like a lot of people are copying Mr. Beast, focus on finding your own voice and own style. Okay? So this is the idea I found interesting in Mr. Best's video, thanks to the summary that CGPT generated for me. So now I want to build up on that. So give me the script of a 59 second short form video for YouTube about three tips for finding your own voice as a content creator. Start with a hook, then deliver the three tips with a bit of detail and then finish with a call to action to subscribe to the channel. Here, I'm not only giving the guidelines on what to write about, but also some guidelines about the format, the structure of the video. That's it. That's all I gave CGPT and it came up with an entire script for this video with a hook, tip number one, two, and three, and then the core to action. There you have it, content creators, follow these tips and you will be well on your way to finding your own unique voice on YouTube. If you enjoy this video and want to learn more about growing as a creator, hit that subscribe button and join our amazing community. You see, this is pretty good. It gave me the entire script. Now, I could take that add my personal touches to that add my personal style voice on top of that script. And I'm good to go. I could film that, and I could probably film a dozen of these in a day and have enough content for a week or so on YouTube. Alright, so we have our video scripts. I can lock myself in the studio and start shooting them, but I still need some titles, descriptions, and tags if I want to upload this on YouTube. So I could ask ChaepT for some help regarding this as well. I would use a prom like this one. Can you suggest some SEO optimized titles that will make people click on this video on YouTube. Keep the title under 50 characters. Remember, CGPit remembers everything that has been said in that same conversation, that same chat. So you don't need to repeat some information that was already mentioned there? You can just simply ask it to give you the best title for this video. It will know which video you're talking about. The video of the script it just generated previously. There you go, I have ten titles here. Discover your voice three tips for content creators, unleash your creativity, three tips for content makers, Master your style, three tips for aspiring creators, et cetera, et cetera. So it's up to you to decide to use one of these titles to mix and match some of the titles, which is usually what I do. I usually follow up when it suggests titles because it uses the same words and keywords pretty much all the time. Unleash, master stand out Unlock. These are words that I found quite cliche. So you could follow up with the prompt like, Okay, I like them, but avoid cliche words like unlock, Master, unleash. You kind of tell Cage Pit what not to use in your But for the sake of this lecture, which is already becoming a bit long, I want to wrap it up. And I want to show you one last prompt that you could use to this time generate some tags for your video, but also a nice description for the video. So the prompt I use is this one. Can you write a video description for YouTube and suggests 15 SEO optimized tags, for this video. It will know which video you're talking about. Obviously, there you go. Video description. In this short and impactful video, we dive into the world of content creation. Explore three essential tips to help you find your unique voice as a content creator. Blah blah blah blah, blah. I'm not going to read all of this, but then the SEO optimized tags. And then for the tags, it gave me a list of 15 SEO optimized tags that I could just use for the tag section when you upload your YouTube video. As you can see, all of this is pretty darn impressive and really helped me speed up my content creation workflow. Now, I want you to keep in mind that what I showed you is just some examples of what you can do with CGPT and more particularly apply to my very own context of a content creator. Throughout the course, I will demonstrate some other real life use cases that will apply to other fields and other industries. This was just the opening act of the grand Symphony awaiting you. 5. Prompt Engineering Basics: What's up, folks. Let's chat about prompt engineering basics. So let's start with what is prompt engineering. Well, prompt engineering refers to the process of designing and refining the way we ask questions or give commands to a language model like Chat GPT. And it may sound technical, but it's actually quite simple. Prompt engineering is the skill of talking to N AI in order to get it to do exactly what you want. Now, this is very important to understand as we are learning how to use C GPT. The quality of our prompt will directly impact the quality of the AI's output. It then goes without saying that prompt engineering is a crucial skill to develop in order for you to get the most out of AI chat bots like Cat GPT. But what exactly makes a good prompt? Well, a good prompt has a few key ingredients. Number one, clarity. A prompt should be clear and precise. The clearer and more specific your language, the more likely the model will understand and produce a relevant response. So make sure you use direct and consistent language to avoid ambiguity. Structure your prompts as if you are addressing someone unfamiliar with the topic. Avoid shifting topics abruptly, using different terms for the same concept or using incorrect vocabulary. Each prompt should have a defined objective. Number two, specificity. The number one reason many beginners don't immediately recognize the potential of AI models like GPT is that their initial prompts are too vague. These beginners often begin by asking generic questions like, Hey, how are you today? Or can you write me a blog post about X Y Z? The receive unspecific answers. And, unfortunately, for many people, these first experiences mark the end of their exploration. They've tried it, weren't impressed, and they moved on. Don't fall into this trap. If you seek a particular type of response, ensure your prompt is specific. For instance, while tell me about dogs is a broad query, what training methods effectively teach dogs basic obedience commands is a much more precise one, and we'll get you a more specific answer. All right. Moving on to number three. Context. There are various methods to provide context to CGPT in your prompts. In general, the more context you give, the better. Here are two common techniques. Number one, role playing prompts. Role playing prompts provide a framework for C GPT to act as a specific character, profession or persona in its responses. By defining the persona for CA GPT, users can receive answers framed in the context of that role, allowing for more specialized responses. Now, here are a few examples of Act as prompts. For example, profession, act as a doctor and explain the symptoms of the common cold. Pretend you're historian, describe the fall of the Roman Empire in bullet points. So that's profession. You could also act as fictional or non fictional characters. Imagine you are $0.50, the rapper. How would you describe the fall of the Roman Empire in a song? Speak as if you are Yoda from Star Wars. Give some advice to Julius Caesar, so he doesn't get killed. You can also ask Cha GPT to impersonate more abstract concepts like pretend to be the Internet. How do you feel about your impact on society? Act as if you are the concept of time. Describe your relationship with humans. So as you can see, these roles are much more abstract or conceptual, but they will provide a different type of answer. Now, the second method to give context to Cha GPT is by providing examples. Another popular technique to improve your prompt is to show Cha GPT the way with the use of one or several relevant examples. And you might have heard the terms zero shot learning or zero shot prompting or even few shots prompting. Let me explain what they mean. Let's start with zero shot learning. This is when you give the model a task without providing any examples. You are essentially hoping the model understands the task based purely on its pre existing knowledge and the prompt you've given. Then we have one shot learning. You provide a single example to guide the model, and this can help provide context or demonstrate the kind of answers you are seeking. And finally, we have few shot learning, and this involves giving multiple examples to the model to guide its response. By providing several examples, you are aiming to give a clearer picture of the type of response or format you are expecting. All right, folks, we have covered a lot of ground in this lecture, in addition to being clear, specific and providing context when prompting. Also consider these two best practices. Number one, work in steps. Break bigger task down into smaller chunks or steps just as you would with a human. Don't overload CT GPT by asking everything all at once. And best practice, number two, iterate and improve. Refine, rework, and iterate on your prompts to progressively improve CT GPTs outcomes. The AI will learn and adjust the shots based on your input. So give it some feedback. Plenty of it. Steer it in the right direction by iterating. And don't worry, guys. I'll show you exactly how to do that later in the course. In conclusion, I would say that prompt engineering is key in productive conversation with AI like GPT. Focus on clear goals, thoughtful prompting and refinement through iteration. Up next, we'll dive deeper into specific strategies for writing better prompts. 6. A Formula for Effective Prompts: In this lecture, I will introduce a formula for crafting effective prompts when using AI chat but like Ch GPT, Bing or Google Bard. I call this formula the six blocks of a winning prompt, and it goes like this. To write a grade prompt, start with the persona, then give some context, then the task, then the format plus some examples, and then specify the tone of voice. Alright, let's break this down. By persona, I mean, to tell the AI who it is, impersonating. Now, context is to provide additional or relevant information as the context for this task. Then comes the task. And here we need to formulate some clear instructions or a clear question. Then the format, we want to specify the desired output format. Then give some examples. Provide a couple of examples that will set a pattern for the AI to follow. That's what we call few shots learning. Remember. And then finally, the tone, we give some instructions on the desired tone of voice for our output. Now, I know, this could seem kind of confusing at first. There's a lot going on in this formula, but don't worry. I'm going to break it down for you and use a very practical example so that you understand how to build your prompts using this formula. Let's say we are searching for a new job, and we would love to lend some interviews for a content marketing role with top tech companies. Now, that will be our use case for the rest of the lecture. We want to work for a big tech company, start making big bucks. All right, then, let's start crafting our prompt using the formula. The first step is to assign Ch GPT a role. Asking it to act as the person who is actually searching for that new job. So let's start building our prompt, and we could start by writing something like this. You are a content marketing expert with three years of relevant experience. Your goal is to land a new job at a top tech company. Then you want to provide CH GPT with some additional context about your job search. So basically, we want to set the scene so that it understand what we are asking for. Instead of saying, make me a CV, provide some context on what job you are applying for, what skills you have, what kind of experience you've accumulated. And here, the more details you give, the better. So let's give it a shot. You are looking for a high paying job in the tech industry as a content marketer. You have three years of relevant experience in content creation, written video images. You are proficient with Canva, Adobe Premiere Pro, and content management tools like Asana and Mondays. You don't mind working remotely and value companies with strong culture. Next step is being super clear with the task you are giving Cha GPT. Don't beat around the bush, tell it exactly what you want it to do. For example, you could write something like provide some high impact bullet points that describe my technical and soft skills as a top notch content marketer. Here's a list of skills I want to highlight in my new CV. And then start your bullet list, keyword research and analysis, data analysis, strong writing and editing skills, experience creating different content formats like blog, social media posts, videos, infographics, webinars. And then back to the formula, we want to follow up with some instructions on the format. You'd like to receive this information into. Format these bullet points with my skills by using the following formula. I did what? Achievement for who previous employer, that resulted in what impact. So here, you see, we have a very precise format in mind for these bullet points. Alright, back to the formula. The trick to get the best output is to guide DAI with a few examples to follow. So feed it with a few bullet points written in that exact same format you are asking for that top notch content marketer might have. Remember, that's what we call few shots learning. We provide a few relevant examples. So here you could write something like follow the same format and style when you provide some examples of skills for my CV. And then you would taste your three examples of skills written in that exact format. So here I have SEO optimization, email marketing, and campaign creation, and then leadership skills. And each of them are being written in that exact format that I mentioned before. Now, these examples will help C GPT understand the pattern. You would like it to follow while generating your output. And finally, this is the last ingredient of our formula. Be specific on the tone you'd like CGPT to use while formulating your outcome. So let me show you an example. Here is an appropriate tone to apply for a marketing role at a tech company. Please use this tone. And then I pasted all of these guidelines. Confident but not arrogant. You want to emphasize your skills and achievements without sounding boastful. Use active language to demonstrate expertise. Then I have some more concise and scannable, professional, but approachable, tailored to the role, selectively informal and then forward thinking. And for those of you who wondered, how did I get such a detailed description of my tone of voice? Well, I simply ask something like this. What would be an appropriate tone for writing a CV to apply for marketing job in a tech company? Now, if I run this prompt, I will have a different list of tone of voice, but something very similar to what I just showed you. You will notice that this is not the exact same outcome as the one I used in my example. That's because CT GPT will generate a slightly different outcome every single time. But these are pretty close. And that's the basics of structuring your prompts, folks. Now, let's do one more thing before we wrap up this lecture. Let's see what outcome Ch GPT would generate once we've put all of the ingredients of the formula together in one single prompt. So that's exactly what I've done here. I've pasted all of the six ingredients of the formula. A K A, the persona, the context, the task, the format, the examples, and then some guidelines about the tone of voice. And then I ran the prompt. And there you go. C GPT started to generate these bullet points in the exact format that I asked it for. So there we go, we have keyword research and analysis, data analysis, writing and editing expertise, block content development, social media content strategy, video content production, infographic design, webinar coordination. And you will see that each of these bullet points is using the exact format. So let's take one, for example, social media content creation. So strategize and deploy targeted social media content for app space. So that is the ID what strategize and deployed targeted social media content for who would be for app space, and then the resulting in what the impact would be boosting user engagement rates by 45% and garnering an average of 1,000 new followers monthly. So again, the format has been respected. Task has been conducted perfectly by Ch GPT. Now, I know this might seem like a lot at first, especially if you are a beginner. But once you get the hang of using the six block formula for building your prompts, I guarantee you you will get the best outcomes from CT GPT. Also, keep in mind that this is the ideal structure of a prompt. This is the complete anatomy of a prompt. And I also know very well that either me no you will be using this entire formula, AKA, the six different ingredients, every time we need to prompt C GPT. That's just not possible. With this lecture, I just wanted to show you what a D prompt looks like, the prompts that consistently get the best outcomes. So go ahead, give it a shot, try it with your own example because really, that's the only way to learn. Go out there, use the formula and prompt like a boss. 7. Iterative Prompting: Cha GPTs answers are not always going to be great out of the box. As a matter of fact, most of the time, its first outcome will probably be quite generic and will require quite a bit of fine tuning to really hit the mark. Now, this fine tuning process is called iterative prompting. Now, in order for you to get acquainted with this process of iterative prompting, we're going to task CGPT to write an e mail for us. Let's say I need to write an e mail to my boss, Jerry, to let him know that I can't come to work today because I'm sick. Probably shouldn't have eaten the salmon Negris that I found on the kitchen counter last night. So let's start with this prompt. I don't feel well today. Probably because I ate some bad sushi last night. Write an e mail to my boss, Jerry, and let him know I can't come to work today. And this is the e mail Chad GPT generated based on that prompt. Subject. Unable to come to work today feeling unwell. Dear Jerry. I hope this e mail finds you well. I regret to inform you that I won't be able to come to work today due to an unexpected health issue. Unfortunately, I'm feeling quite unwell, likely due to a case of food poisoning from some sushi I had last night. I understand the importance of my responsibilities at work, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience my absence might cause to the team. I will make sure to complete any urgent task remotely if possible, and I'm also willing to assist in coordinating with my colleagues to ensure a smooth workflow during my absence. I've been touched throughout the day via e mail or phone, as I hope to recover quickly and get back to work as soon as possible. If there are any critical matters that require my immediate attention, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I'll keep you updated on my progress and let you know as soon as I'm able to return to the office, best regard. Now, that didn't sound at all like the way I would speak to Jerry. That is way too formal. So I need to follow up and ask Chad GPT to correct that tone. That's too formal. In the same chat, make sure you stay within the same chat. Otherwise, Chat GPT will lose the context of that first prompt. So in the same chat, I will write the following. That didn't quite sound like me. Jerry's my boss, but we communicate in a much more informal way. Please edit the e mail and use a tone of voice, which is friendly, casual, and less corporate. We are a small team of marketers. So what I did here is that I provided three adjectives about the tone, friendly, casual and less corporate. And I also give it some extra context by explaining that we are a small team of marketers. So usually, marketing teams communicate in a more relaxed way. So that's why I did that. And here's the e mail that came back. Subject, not feeling great today with the sick OG. Hey, Jerry, I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to shoot you a quick message to let you know that I won't be able to make it to work today, again, SMOG. Seems like those sushi rolls I had last night weren't the best idea, and my stomach is definitely not happy about it. I don't want to spread any germs around the office, so I think it's best if I stay home and recover. I promise I'll make up for it once. I'm back and feeling 100% again. If there is anything super urgent that comes up, just give me a shout, and I'll do my best to help out from my couch. Sorry for any hiccups. This might cause in our plans, and thanks 1 million for understanding. I'll be keeping an eye on my inbox throughout the day, so feel free to reach out if you need anything. Catch you soon, and let's hope I'm back in action tomorrow. Cheers. So we can see that Chad GPT reworked that same e mail. But this time, using a much more relaxed or casual tone of voice, which actually sounds much more like the way I would talk to Jerry. And I like that it also sprinkled some emojis here and there to make the e mail more casual. Great. That was much better. Now, let's see some other ways we could tweak this e mail. Let's say I want to make it much shorter because I don't want to waste any of Jerry's time. I could prompt something like this. Make this much shorter. And to the point, Jerry is a very busy guy. So, once again, Chachi Pit reworked my e mail and gave me this. Subject out sick today. Again, the sick Emoji. Hey, Gary, quick heads up. I'm feeling under the weather after some iffy sushi last night. Can make it to work today. I'll be on e mail, if anything, urgent pops up. Thanks for understanding best. Yeah, that was much shorter indeed. And in the same range of idea to make things shorter, you could ask CGPT things like keep your output under 140 characters. Summarize this into one tweet, shorten or expand your answer. Cut the size of your output by two, three, four, et cetera You can also do things like ask Cha GPT to act as a famous person or a fictional character. Let's have a bit of fun. Rewrite the e mail in the voice of Sheldon Cooper from the big bank theory. Now, I'll try my best impersonating Sheldon Cooper. Subject, a sushi induced ailment. Greetings, Jerry. I must regrettably inform you that I find myself in a state of physical discomfort today. The origin of my malaise can be traced back to a regrettable encounter with sushi. During the previous evening. Given my current condition, it would be unwise for me to venture into the office. I shall remain in seclusion nursing myself back to health and minimizing the potential spread of contagion. But fear not, for I shall maintain a digital vigilance over my electronic communications, should a matter of utmost urgency demand my attention? I appreciate your understanding, and trust that my absence will not disrupt our finely tuned mechanisms of operation. Sincerely Sheldon. Ronnie. Now, that was fun, but we could also ask the AI to do some other things like ask it to make each line rhyme like a poem or a rap song. Rewrite the e mail but make every line rhyme, like if it was a rap song. And there we go. My e mail is now a rap song with the subject sick day rhymes. Your Jerry, listen up. Go to drop a line, feeling sick as a dog, no work, no shine. Sushi last night it ain't sitting right. Can't make it today. Got to heel up tight. Stomach's doing flips like a roller coaster ride. Got to stay home can't be by your side. I'll be on e mail if things go haywire. But for now, it's rest I require. In this rap, I say thanks for your patience and grace, hoping to be back soon in the office space. Till then take care, keep the team on track. I'll be chilling at home with my snacks. Catch you on the flip side when I'm good as new. For now, it's piece out, and at you. Stay groovy, your rap name, so you need to find your rap name. Alright, guys, I think we had enough fun, and I think you got the point. In order to get the most accurate, the most appropriate answer from C GPT, you need to use that technique that we call iterative prompting. Just start with the first prompt and then work with that outcome. Follow up with more prompts to give CGPT some directions on the length, the format, the tone of voice, the comprehension level, et cetera. It's all about iterating. 8. Try these Follow Up Prompts: Engaging with an AI is like sculpting clay. It's malleable and you shape it with your input. In the previous lecture, we learned that when talking to an AI chat but, you shouldn't stop at just typing a basic prompt. Your initial prompt sets the foundation, but it's the follow up prompt with instructions for refinement and clarification that will help you tailor the AI's response to your exact needs. So let's dive deeper into that. In this lecture, I will introduce you to some useful follower prompts that will allow you to have better control over aspects like tone, length format, perspective, and more. Because just as clay can be molded, CGPT's answers can be shaped into the perfect custom piece that will fit your project. So let's have a look at these prompts. I have broken them down into categories. So first category of follower prompts is tone of voice. And for that, you can use prompts like answer in a humorous tone or provide a formal explanation. Can you say that in a more casual way? How would you explain this if you were an enthusiastic coach and your team is losing at half time. Next, we have some follow up prompts to modify the length of the outcome. Prompts like, can you condense that into one sentence? Expand on your previous answer. Give me a detailed explanation. Summarize this in a tweet length response. Give me the five main takeaways of this blog post. Keep your output below 50 characters. Then we have a series of follow up proms that will influence the language complexity? Proms like Explain this using simple language or use technical terminology in your answer? How would you describe this to a five year old. Answer using only layman's terms. Edit this text for grammar, legibility, and spelling. Translate this into Spanish or any other language. Next, we have some follow up prompts about format. Put your answer in a bullet point list. Can you format that as a step by step guide? Structure your answer as a pros and cons list? Present this as a dialogue. Insert some relevant moges in this text. Use H two formatting for the titles or format this information into a table where column one is X, Column two is y, and column three is z. Next, we have follow up proms for perspective. Write this from the perspective of a historian? How would a scientist explain this? Imagine you are a fiction writer. Spin a short story around this topic. Answer as if you were giving advice to a close friend. Then two quick proms for specificity versus generality. Can you provide more specific examples? Give me a general overview instead. Then we have follow up prompts to compare things. Can you compare and contrast these two concepts? How does this relate to another concept? Then some follow up proms for evidence and sources. Can you back that up with data or studies? Are there experts or reputable sources that support this? Some follow up proms for counter arguments? What are some criticisms or opposing views on this topic? What are the counter arguments to the point you made? Follow up prompts to get some historical context? Can you provide a brief history of this topic? How has this evolved over time? Some follow up proms for hypothetical scenarios? What if a certain change or condition happens? Imagine a world where a certain scenario is true? How would this information fit? Then we have follow up props for causality? Like, why did this happen? What are the potential consequences of this? Applications. How can this knowledge be applied in real life? Provide practical steps or tips based on this. Suggest a daily practice that would help me integrate insert your positive behavior into my life. Now, this one is really powerful. Some follow up meta prompts. Can you question or critique your previous answer? Why did you provide that response? Explain your reasoning step by step. Now, this one is a very popular one. Like to ask Ch GPT to explain step by step, it will kind of justify every single decision it makes. And finally, some follow up prompts for aesthetic and creativity. Can you present this in a poetic format? How would you visualize this information graphically or use only words that start with a P in your outcome. Alright, I think I'm going to stop here because this could go on and on and on. Remember to truly harness the power of chat butts like Ch GPT, it's essential that you interact with them, as if you were having a conversation with them. And this means asking questions, providing examples, and refining your instructions as the conversation unfolds. A continuous dialogue tends to yield better results. And as you get familiar with the follow up prompting techniques, you'll become a boss at prompting the AI. And folks, to make your lives easier, I've gathered all the prompts I covered in this lecture into a Canva document. So make sure to download it for your convenience.
