Mastering AI Prompts: Tips ##

Introduction ###

In this section, we'll explore some essential tips for mastering AI prompts. Understanding and effectively utilizing these tips will significantly enhance your interaction with AI models, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

Chat and Understand First to Get Prompts ###

Only experts can prompt effectively, and it's crucial to chat and understand first to get the best results. I often speak to people who want to outsource their tasks before they have a deep understanding of the process—don't! Make sure to grasp the nuances first.

$10 Million Yacht Formula ##

A key principle to remember is the "$10 Million Yacht Formula." This involves Doing, Understanding, Systematizing, and then Outsourcing. The same concept applies here, but instead of outsourcing to people, we're doing it to Large Language Models (LLMs).

Run Multiple Times Where Possible ##

Running your prompts multiple times can yield better results. We often refer to the "bell curve," which suggests a ratio of 7/10 to 10/10 for optimal outcomes. The randomness element in agents plays a significant role here, which we will discuss further.

Demonstrate Rather Than Explain ###

Demonstrating what you want the AI to do is easier and more effective than trying to explain it. Providing examples will help the AI, especially models like GPT, understand your requirements better than verbal explanations.

Use a 'SOTA' Model ##

Using a State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) model is highly recommended. Examples include GPT-4, Opus, Turbo, Sonnet, or Llama3. These models excel in delivering accurate and improved results for your prompts.

Pay Attention to Mistakes ###

Be vigilant about the mistakes AI makes. Don’t go against the grain, especially if the mistake is minor. It's different when coding, where you can shout corrections, but for general prompts, subtlety is key.

Don't Fight Failing Prompts ###

The AI has limited resources, so don’t struggle with failing prompts. Instead, change them or decompose them into 2-5 separate prompt chains for better performance.

Avoid Prompt Gimmicks ###

Avoid relying on prompt gimmicks, as they are often inconsistent and secondary. What might seem effective in one instance could fail in another, wasting valuable time and resources.

Think Step by Step ####

A step-by-step approach usually works well with AI prompts. However, there are times when you should consider decomposing the process into smaller, manageable steps for clarity and precision.

Summary Sentence ###

Remember to include a summary sentence at both the start and end of your prompt session. A brief summary helps the AI focus on the main objectives right from the beginning and reinforces what’s essential at the end.

By adhering to these guidelines, you will enhance your capability to create effective and efficient AI prompts, improving your overall interaction with AI systems.

Learning and Finding Prompts ##

Basic Strategy to Prompt Generation ###

To generate effective prompts, start with a basic strategy. First, chat with GPT to learn the words and phrases to use. This will help you get familiar with the kind of language that works best. Next, aim to get a "good output" once, then refine it into a prompt.

Think about different scenarios, like scenes from movies. For instance, think of the card game scene from the movie Taken. Do you know Krav Maga like Liam Neeson? Prompts can skip you to this scene, but without the skills earned to get there! This is another reason to "chat" first, to ground your own knowledge.

Also, think about your search history in a new subject. Start broad and then narrow it down to long-tail keywords. Could you have just Googled the final phrase, or did the journey teach you something? You reach your destination with valuable intellectual baggage. Beginners should chat first and experts should prompt next. Start with exploratory chats, then gradually learn and build prompts.

Domain-Specific Knowledge Unlocks the Best Prompts ###

Understanding domain-specific knowledge is key to creating the best prompts. For example, if you want to write prompts related to making money online, it's helpful to have knowledge of blogging, WordPress themes, or e-commerce platforms like Shopify. You need specialized knowledge to write effective and accurate prompts.

Key Aspects of a Good Prompt ##

Complete Strategy to Prompt Generation and Mastery ###

1. **Chat with GPT**: Learn the words and phrases to use.
2. **Get a "good output" once**: Then turn it into a prompt.
3. **Open a new tab in Playground**: Try to "one-shot" the same output.
4. **Save the prompt**: Save it as a text file or a custom GPT prompt.

Additional Tips ###

- **IMPORTANT**: Always test your prompts. The chat window context can skew output.
- **SHORTCUT**: Keep an eye out for shortcuts to refine your prompts.

By following these strategies and tips, you can master prompt generation and create highly effective prompts tailored to your specific needs.

Limitations to *Any* Prompting ##

Introduction ###

In this section, we are going to discuss the inherent limitations associated with typical prompting methods when using Large Language Models (LLMs). While these models are incredibly powerful, understanding their limitations is crucial for effective usage.

Lack of Agency ###

LLMs simply do not have agency. This means they can't make independent decisions or follow through on tasks without human intervention. They require specific prompts and guidance to function correctly. This is why agents are often needed to handle more complex, multi-step tasks.

Focus on Micro-Tasks ###

LLMs excel at handling one micro-task at a time. This characteristic is critical to grasp, as trying to overload them with multiple simultaneous tasks can lead to inefficiency and errors. Therefore, breaking down larger tasks into smaller, manageable parts is essential.

Rewarding Experience ###

These models thrive on experience. Providing them with examples and the correct wording will significantly enhance their performance. The more detailed and precise your prompts are, the better the LLM will perform.

Repetition Requirements ###

Much like with image-based models such as DALLE, LLMs often require repetition to achieve the desired outcome. This can be time-consuming, as it might take several iterations to get the exact result you are looking for.

Prompting Basics ###

Now, let's cover some essential elements of prompting that I forgot to mention earlier. Effective prompting involves clear and concise instructions, relevant context, and sometimes breaking down the input into smaller chunks to enhance clarity and accuracy.

Conclusion ###

In summary, while LLMs are incredibly advanced, understanding their limitations helps in making the most out of them. Remember, they need clear guidance, perform best with micro-tasks, thrive on well-crafted prompts, and often require repetition for optimal results.

Chats Are My Best AI Interactions ##

Introduction ###

Spend a lot of time talking to the AI in chats (use GPT's chat threads, which are now powered by GPT-4 or even better for free ChatGPT users). Everyone who uses GPT hundreds of times a month says it's the best invention ever. Start with chats, then prompts.

**Understand > Systemize > Prompt**

Chat GPT Basic Tips ###

1. Start with GPT chats and conversations to find prompts that work.
   
2. Chat to start, then test in a new tab and save prompts as templates to reuse.

3. Break tasks down into separate chunks (e.g., "OK, good GPT! Now do this"), even with simple tasks like math.

One-Shot Basics ###

1. Be clear. Have a chat with GPT-4 first, especially if you don't understand the task.
   
2. Provide templates. Often, "Make more like THIS!" is better than a detailed prompt.

3. Look at other people's template prompts (e.g., mine) if you want to take a shortcut.

How Many Prompts? ###

Very few tasks I run are simple one-shot prompts (even very basic HTML pages or websites can become "conversations" as I edit them bit by bit). Prompts are won through continuous testing and rarely become one-shot single prompts (apart from simple tasks).

- **Email Subject**: 1 template
- **Email Copy**: 3-5 templates
- **HTML Email**: 1 template

Action Steps ###

Steal Others' Prompts: This is the simplest way to get a solid understanding (I will give you mine and other resources later).

Give GPT Examples: Simply giving it "X" then asking it to change "Y" is a great shortcut (no need to understand it).

Think in Chains/Steps: Large Language Models cannot handle lots of steps (will do each one badly). Use chains, sequences, or ideally agents.
