You reap what you sow

My journey into the territory of prompt writing hasn't stopped after spending an intensive week with ChatGPT. On the contrary, it has just begun. Being able to write helpful inputs that yield valuable responses elevates the mood and goads me into learning more. The AI's capabilities and knowledge base open new horizons, baffling laymen like my little self. Additionally, YouTube proved to be an unfathomably enormous information pot from which scooping valuable training material is merely a question of click. The abundance of tutorial videos about improving one's prompt writing skills and technique is perplexing. Consequently, encountering new principles, methods, and tricks are in the pipeline and phasing them into my prompt writing practice will have beneficial impacts.  Claiming that I could see the surface of prompt writing the other day was a preposterous understatement. As I dig deeper every day, it becomes evident how much there is to learn. All in all, the limit is th...

Reflecting on a Week of Advanced Prompts

After an intensive week working with AI, I commend myself for the perseverance that propelled my enthusiasm and navigated me into the intricate yet exciting field of prompt engineering. The time spent honing my writing skills and improving my English was unequivocally worth it. I now have a fundamentally different approach to how prompts should be crafted, thanks to the excellent help I received from AI. After the unavoidable ups and downs, everything eventually fell into place. While I may not yet consider myself a seasoned prompt writer, the progress made over the last week is significant. The assiduous practice would yield the expected results in the end, so all I have to do now is delve into the realm of professional prompt writing and create more and more inputs. In retrospect, I'll always recall the dedicated moments spent refining my approach and the satisfaction that followed. It's a journey I'll carry forward with a sense of accomplishment. Well done, indeed.

Crafting Professional AI Prompts

After completing ChatGPT's syllabus on improving prompt writing, we moved on to the next chapter: enhancing my English writing skills. I asked the AI to assess my writing skills based on my responses and create another syllabus on improving it. It didn't take long for the AI to create the agenda, and before I knew it, ChatGPT was ready to teach me. However, despite the new syllabus being fascinating and enticing, I couldn't delve into it due to a prior engagement. As a result, I had to put my learning process on hold after the first class.

Digging deeper Today's focus with ChatGPT was on improving my writing skills. After completing the advanced-level prompt writing syllabus, I asked AI to craft another plan to help me enhance my English enabling me to create more meaningful and professional prompts. I'm still amazed by the ease and speed with which AI can review my sentences and provide a better and more concise version of the same input. Nevertheless, the recent learning process confirmed how properly engineered prompts can elicit excellent responses. And even though artificial intelligence is in its infancy, its potential and knowledge is baffling. I wonder what the future will bring to Large Language Models in two or three years.

The hard stuff By realising the importance of conciseness and clarity in my prompts, I redefined my original instructions to aim for better inputs from another angle. After submitting my redefined request to ChatGPT, its reaction was phenomenal. It crafted a meaningful syllabus and guided me through it lesson by lesson, ensuring the gradual increase of each class's subject and requirements. Even though I carefully crafted my test inputs ChatGPT had asked me to produce were up to standard, AI could always create better prompts regarding conciseness and clarity. Nevertheless, its responses and explanations helped me understand how to hone my English to ameliorate my inputs. My initial assessment of ChatGPT's capabilities was soon shattered after completing the syllabus AI had created for me. The gradual progress I witnessed during today's education suggests AI's power is still mesmerisingly unfathomable. I'm convinced that what I did today was far from scratching the ...

Prompt engineering - part 4

Due to a lack of motivation to write, this entry will be brief today.  I experimented with prompt engineering and made progress in generating more meaningful inputs. However, the depth of this field is currently unfathomable, and I'm not sure if I'm merely scratching its surface or just watching its surface from a distance. Nevertheless, I find it quite unusual that the more I delve into refining and improving my prompts, the more my English skills seem to improve. ChatGPT provides valuable feedback and teaches me the subtleties of crafting accurate and meaningful prompts. Through these written discussions, I not only learn a lot, but also witness my English gradually improving, and I can't help but notice how my linguistic mojo is returning to its full potential. I reviewed my beginner student's homework, and it was surprisingly well-done, boosting my motivation to complete her next class's syllabus. I still need to add exercises to the lesson, it is otherwise read...

Prompt engineering - part 3

Although ChatGPT stands out as an impressive AI tool, its constraints and inherent limitations present challenges. Consequently, the significance of prompt engineering in crafting meaningful inputs that AI can interpret and respond to is undeniable. Building up these inputs is tricky since AI is not a mind reader; therefore, conciseness is paramount. A whole new world opened up for me by delving deeper into this topic, and the more I learn, the more it dawns on me the immense potential this tool holds. It is truly fascinating. Even though I had a perfect class with Charlette today, the lingering brain fog took its toll at the end of the lesson. Basic words and expressions seemed to hide somewhere between lunch and coffee in my wee brain. I was terribly miffed by these "brain-farts" because we haven't done anything but suffer from the long-term side effects caused by the COVID-19 actual variant. Ági's been under the weather for quite a long time, so an imminent and rap...

Prompt Engineering - part 2

As I mentioned in my previous post, prompt engineering is truly intriguing. Despite encountering certain constraints in the process, the fact that anyone can have a meaningful conversation with artificial intelligence fills me with awe and wonder. Furthermore, the continuous learning nature of AI portends possibilities that people in the 1990s considered to be mere science fiction. However, it's essential to communicate with AI using relevant, succinct prompts. Handling more complex inputs might lead to unforeseen responses, and the thread we open can lose its focus. Nevertheless, several tutorials are available in the virtual space for us to learn and enhance our prompt-writing skills, ensuring much better answers. So, today, I decided to ask ChatGPT to teach me how to master the art of writing professional prompts. Unsurprisingly, ChatGPT was willing to guide me and explain the basics. Our conversation extended beyond the fundamentals, which was promising. While I haven't com...

Prompt Engineering

While slurping the much-needed coffee after breakfast, I stumbled upon a video about prompt engineering. This is a new-fangled expression, and had it not been for Large Language Models, I believe the world would have been a much-depressed place. Joking aside, it is a fascinating topic, and the more I delve into it, the more intriguing it became.  It all began with my heightened curious whether AI could help me improve the languages I speak - primarily English, but I also experimented with French, Spanish, and German. And the more sophisticated my instructions were, the worse the responses from ChatGPT got. I spent hours, if not days, trying to figure out how to create the holy grail of prompts that could fit all my needs, but I failed miserably each time.  Considering all the tribulations and hardships I had to endure, today's video about prompt engineering proved to be handy. I'm still not a master at crafting meaningful prompts, but I'm getting much closer. It beca...
