PRECISION PROMPT WRITING

With the growing popularity of ChatGPT, millions of people
have direct access to a powerful tool for generating large
volumes of content. However, with everyone using the same
model, it's becoming increasingly important to create

content that stands out from the crowd. Although ChatGPT
levels the playing field, it's the quality of the prompts that
sets writers apart and a well-crafted prompt can be the
difference between a piece of writing that captures readers'

attention and one that gets lost in the deep sea of content
on the web.
In general, the more specific your prompt is, the better

ChatGPT can comprehend your intention, and the more
specific the output will be. For instance, rather than asking
a general question like What is the meaning of life?, try
asking a more specific question like What are the main

philosophies on the meaning of life?

Modifiers

In the previous chapter, we looked at the simple prompt in
the form of draft a blog post about personal finance

(using a verb at the start of the prompt to form an
3
imperative ). While there is ample information here for
ChatGPT to generate a relevant output, we can refine this
prompt to generate a more nuanced and less generic

output.
