Text Prompts

To interact with ChatGPT, you will need to provide what’s
called a text prompt, which is instructions for the AI about

what you wish to generate. A prompt can be as simple as
What is ChatGPT? or Translate your previous output
in French. ChatGPT will then attempt to generate a
relevant output based on the text prompt provided.

There is no single method or set code for writing a text
prompt. You can ask ChatGPT any question or provide any
input, and ChatGPT will do its best to provide a relevant
response. One useful way to approach text prompt

construction is to imagine that you are explaining a new
task to a colleague or intern. By doing so, you can ensure
that ChatGPT fully understands what's required and how to
execute it.

It is vital to use natural language as that’s the language the
AI is trained on. Natural language refers to human
languages, such as everyday conversational English or what

you might write in a text message, as opposed to an
artificial language such as a programming language. This
means you should communicate to ChatGPT like it’s a
human and avoid using artificial languages such as CSS,
Python, or Google search tricks to write your text prompts.
