work
Let's look at a few examples of both effective and ineffective prompts to better grasp the
guidelines for developing effective ChatGPT prompts.

Suitable ChatGPT questions:

"Can you provide a summary of the main points from the article 'The Benefits
of Exercise'?"
- The ChatGPT finds it simple to respond to this prompt because it is precise and
pertinent.

"What are the best restaurants in Paris that serve vegetarian food?"
- Because this question is precise and pertinent, ChatGPT may offer a focused response.

Unhelpful ChatGPT prompts:

"What can you tell me about the world?" - The ChatGPT will have a difficult time
coming up with a focused or effective response because this prompt is too general and
open-ended.

14 | P a g e
CHAPTER 3: PROMPTS' FUNCTION IN CHATGPT TALKS

Can you help me with my homework?" - Despite being clear and detailed, this
question is too open-ended for the ChatGPT to produce a suitable response. A better
question would identify the precise subject or assignment at hand.

"How are you?" - Although this is a typical discussion opener, it is not a well-defined
question and does not give the talk a clear aim or emphasis.

You may get a sense of the guidelines for creating powerful ChatGPT prompts by
contrasting these examples. We'll delve into these principles in further detail and look at
specific prompt-writing strategies in the chapters that follow.

as you can while speaking in terms that are pertinent to the subject at hand.

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

• Avert prompts that are too vague or open-ended. While it may be tempting to pose
open-ended or too general questions in an effort to elicit a more thorough
response, doing so frequently results in talks that are disjointed or lack direction.
Instead, make an effort to be as explicit as you can in your questions, setting a
distinct goal and focal point for the dialogue.

• Keep the discussion on topic. It's crucial to keep on topic during a ChatGPT chat
and to refrain from bringing up tangents or other subjects. You may ensure that

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.

You can contribute to directing ChatGPT conversations in relevant directions and

fostering more interesting and educational dialogues by adhering to these best practises.

A hack called "Act as"

The "act as" hack is one of the most helpful methods for creating powerful ChatGPT
prompts. This method entails telling the ChatGPT to take a particular role or identity in
the chat by using the phrase "act as" in the prompt. This can be extremely helpful for
recreating real-world scenarios or constructing more interesting and immersive
interactions.

For instance, you might instruct the ChatGPT to "act as a travel agent" and suggest
vacation spots depending on the user's interests by using the "act as" hack. Alternately,
you may instruct the ChatGPT to "act as a detective" and investigate a make-believe case.
The "act as" hack can be a potent tool for crafting captivating and immersive ChatGPT
interactions. The possibilities are unlimited.

Simply use the words "act as" and then describe the part or persona the ChatGPT should
play in the chat to employ the "act as" hack. For instance: "You are to serve as my travel
agent. Please suggest some vacation spots based on my tastes."

You can design more interesting and immersive ChatGPT conversations that are catered
to the unique interests and demands of the user by utilising the "act as" hack.

23 | P a g e
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

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.

can happen if the guidelines are unclear or don't align with the conversation's main
objective.
