Welcome to Coffee with Kit: Learning how to learn GPT Prompts
Many people kick the tires of AI and give up because they don’t get the desired results.
However, just as we always get better insights when we ask better questions, we need to do the same with AI. This workshop will teach us some best practices to help you get what you want. We’ll use Chat GPT to teach us!
We’ll talk about the types of queries and then show you how to ask them using prompts.
We’ll cover specific techniques and walk through some examples. Feel free to try them out in your ChatGPT window; they’re on the website for cutting and pasting.
In each exercise, you’ll learn how to learn by appending the content question with prompts to improve the original question. We’ll:
- Ask the Question a Better Way: Refine a common query to make it more effective.
- Rate the Improved Question: Evaluate the quality of the refined question.
- Ask and Answer: Use the refined question, then assess the quality of the answer.
For example,
| Exercise | |
| Query Type | Adopt a different Perspective |
| Original Question | “Imagine that you are a social media manager and develop three catchy social media post ideas for Instagram and Twitter to raise awareness about coral bleaching. Our target audience is young adults (18-25 years old).” |
| Modifiers to improve it (Use ChatGPT to teach you) | Append the question with some prompt pro tips to level up the quality of the question and response. ”What’s a better way of asking this question? Rate the improved question, then ask it and get a 10/10. Rate and critique the answer. Then, show why the improved question shows best practice prompt techniques, bold each technique.“ |
| Submitted question | “Imagine that you are a social media manager for an environmental non-profit organization. Develop 3 catchy social media post ideas for Instagram and Twitter to raise awareness about coral bleaching. Our target audience is young adults (18-25 years old).”What’s a better way of asking this question? Rate the improved question, then ask it and get a 10/10. Rate and critique the answer. Then, show why the improved question shows best practice prompt techniques, bold each technique.“ |
| Sample Improved Question (ChatGPT) | “You’re a social media manager for an environmental non-profit focused on ocean conservation. Create 3 engaging social media posts for Instagram and Twitter aimed at raising awareness about coral bleaching. Target young adults (18-25 years old) with a mix of facts, emotional appeal, hashtags, and calls to action.” |
