Throughout this course, we have learned about the importance of prompts in working with ChatGPT. A prompt is the input that describes the problem or request you have for ChatGPT. It is one of the most important features to make the most out of ChatGPT.
In this lecture, we will explore some examples of how to use prompts effectively. We will start with basic examples that ask for simple facts. For instance, we can ask how many citizens Barcelona has or who was the first president of the United States. ChatGPT quickly provides the answers based on the data it has been trained with.
However, prompts can be used in different ways. ChatGPT is context aware, which means it remembers the topics discussed in a specific chat. This allows us to write prompts assuming that ChatGPT is aware of the previous conversation. For example, we can ask about a Wiener Schnitzel and then ask for the recipe and even a shopping list. ChatGPT understands the context and provides the desired information.
This conversational style of using prompts makes ChatGPT feel more like interacting with a human being. It is intuitive and eliminates the need to repeat yourself. Keep in mind that ChatGPT is a language model, so it operates based on probabilities and patterns. Nevertheless, it provides a great user experience.
In conclusion, prompts are a powerful tool in ChatGPT. They allow us to ask questions, provide context, and receive relevant responses. Whether using a Google-like style or a conversation-like style, prompts enhance the interaction with ChatGPT and make it a valuable resource for various tasks.
