interactions.

18 | P a g e
CHAPTER 4: GUIDELINES FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

A poor example:
"Good day! Could you inform me about the most recent web-related events? I'm
attempting to grasp the zeitgeist."

This prompt uses jargon without clarifying it, such as "intel," "interwebz," and "zeitgeist,"
which may be unclear to those who are unfamiliar with these concepts. Furthermore, the
use of the word "current happenings" is vague because it might be interpreted to mean a
variety of things. As a result, it would be challenging for the ChatGPT to comprehend this
challenge and come up with a helpful solution.

A Good example:
"Which restaurants in Paris offer the greatest vegetarian food? I'm seeking several great
restaurants in Paris that can accommodate my dietary requirements because I'm going
there soon."

Because of the prompt's clarity and specificity, the ChatGPT can easily comprehend it and
produce a suitable response. The user's interest in a particular place (Paris) and cuisine
type (vegetarian) is made clear in the prompt, which makes it easier to make sure the
user's response is pertinent and laser-focused. The prompt also avoids using jargon or
vague language, making it simple for the user to comprehend. This question is therefore
likely to lead to a more interesting and educational discourse.

CHAPTER 5: CREATING POWERFUL TRIGGERS

An instance
Act as a javascript console for me. You will respond with what the javascript console ought
to display as I type instructions. I only want you to respond with the terminal output
contained within a single, distinct code block. write no justifications. Please only type
commands when I tell you to. I'll use curly brackets to enclose text when I need to explain
something to you in English, like this. "Hello World" is my first command, which is
console.log;

Investigate this instance further:

"I want you to act as a javascript console." This phrase instructs the ChatGPT to
take on the role of a javascript console in the chat by using the "act as" hack.

"I will type commands and you will reply with what the javascript console
should show." This phrase describes the user's participation in the conversation as well
as the ChatGPT's role in carrying out the user's requests.

"I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code
block, and nothing else." This statement gives the ChatGPT further instructions,
stating that it should only respond with the terminal output contained within a single,
distinctive code block and not provide any more material or justifications.

"Do not write explanations." The emphasis in this sentence is on the previous
sentence's directive that the ChatGPT not provide any justifications in its responses.

"Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so." The ChatGPT is given
additional instructions in this clause, specifically that it must wait until the user gives the
command before typing it.

"When I need to tell you something in english, I will do so by putting text


inside curly brackets {like this}." By surrounding content in curly brackets, this line
instructs the user on how to connect with the ChatGPT in English.

"My first command is console.log("Hello World");" The first instruction of the


prompt is provided in this sentence, so ChatGPT will launch first.

Typical problems that can occur when utilising ChatGPT

There are a few frequent problems that you could run into when utilising ChatGPT. Here
are a few illustrations:

• The question is unclear, confusing, or contains jargon or other unfamiliar


language, which causes the ChatGPT to misunderstand it or respond in a way that
is irrelevant or unsuitable. It might also happen if the ChatGPT is unable to
comprehend the prompt due to a lack of context or knowledge.

• The question is too general or open-ended, or the ChatGPT doesn't have the
appropriate expertise or awareness of the subject, which can result in a generic or
uninformative response.

• The prompt's instructions or restrictions are not followed by the ChatGPT. This
can happen if the guidelines are unclear or don't align with the conversation's main
objective.

• The ChatGPT responds repeatedly or incoherently; this might happen when the
prompt is vague or when the dialogue isn't clear or focused.

Crafting clear, succinct prompts that give the ChatGPT the required context, instructions,
and limitations is crucial to preventing these problems. It's also critical to understand the
ChatGPT's capabilities and constraints, as well as to test and debug your prompts to make
