Page 6 - ChatGPT Prompts Book: Precision Prompts, Role Prompting, Training & AI Writing Techniques for Mortals
P. 6
This was the biggest hurdle for me in starting my own
journey with ChatGPT. While I found extensive collections of
AI text prompts online, I was disappointed by the lack of
guidance on prompt writing principles and strategies that
would help improve my prompt writing skills. I was eager to
learn about the specific qualities that make a text prompt
effective, rather than relying on someone’s list of generic
text prompts (likely spun up by ChatGPT).
Around this time, I had just completed writing a book on
Generative AI Art for Beginners. Through this project, I
explored text prompts for generating art using DALL-E
(ChatGPT’s artistic sibling) and other text-to-image software
services. Using my knowledge of text-to-image prompt
writing techniques including modifiers and negative
prompting, I started conducting experiments with ChatGPT.
At the same time, I began training ChatGPT using my own
sample data, which enabled the model to perform new tasks
based on my input data.
Recognizing that others could benefit from these
experiments, I set aside my initial reluctance to publish a
book about ChatGPT, and I began writing this brief guide on
the topic of text prompt engineering.
Drawing on my findings over the last four months, this
guide is designed to assist you in generating better outputs
from ChatGPT. I also hope that book will be a valuable
resource for those looking to maximize the potential of
ChatGPT and lean into the rapidly evolving landscape of
generative AI.
