15 ChatGPT prompts you might need
Miscellaneous / / August 17, 2023
Not only will they save you time, but they will also help you discover new ideas.
When working with ChatGPT and other similar systems, the best results can be obtained if you compose commands with specific wording, context details, and a set of important additional details. Think about the purpose of the request: what kind of response do you expect, how it should be structured, what style it should be written in, how much text should be.
In the prompt, indicate all the points that the neural network should take into account. You can also add special requests - for example, to exclude or ask to use highly specialized words in the answer, display only the first paragraph of the result, or present everything in resume form.
There are a lot of command options. Next, we will consider prompts that can be used only for one area or transformed for different tasks. Chatbots from OpenAI and other developers perform best with English language, but support dozens of others.
To get the best result, it is worth asking questions in English and asking for translation, as well as checking prompts, for example, in Russian. The responses are then compared and combined.
For testing in this case, we used Bing chatbot based on GPT‑4.
