Mastering ChatGPT: Top Tips from Wired Magazine

Part of my Thought Follower series:

Here are my 5 ChatGPT takeaway tips from Wired Magazine’s 17 Tips to Take Your ChatGPT Prompts to the Next Level written by David Nield:

  1. Get a response for your intended audience
    Takeway: Use prompts tailored to your audience like “explain quantum physics as if you were talking to a 12-year old”
  2. Create prompts for other AI engines
    Takeaway: You can ask the chatbot to add more detail to sentences, role-play as another AI tool and refine answers as you add more information.
  3. Explain difficult concepts
    Takeaway: Copy and paste text from different sources and ask Chat GPT to explain it to you
  4. Ask for feedback on writing
    Takeway: Paste your text and ask ChatGPT if your title is effective or to check your spelling, grammar, tone, readability, and more.
  5. Potent prompts – specificity and refining
    Takeaway: Detail and specificity is important when generating prompts and helps you get a better response. Additionally, giving ChatGPT a starting point lets it finish it off – and you can always refine the response.

My Action Items

  2. Write specific and detailed prompts
    Quality prompts result in quality responses.
  3. Consider my audience
    Ensures my content is relevant and engaging.
