Flashcards

What is a prompt?

An input provided to a generative AI model to produce a desired output. It can be seen as an instruction for the model.

What is a naive prompt?

A prompt that directly asks for a specific output without providing much context or guidance.

What is an effective prompt?

A prompt that provides specific details, context, and structure to guide the generative AI model to produce a desired output.

What is human-like output?

The ability of generative AI models to produce outputs that closely resemble what a human could create. It includes elements like relevance, context, imagination, nuance, and linguistic accuracy.

Study Notes

Defining a Prompt

  • A prompt is any input given to a generative AI model to produce a desired output
  • It's like an instruction for the model
  • Examples include:
    • Writing a short story about a scientist
    • Generating HTML code for a dropdown menu
    • Providing instructions to refine an output (step-by-step)

Prompt Elements

  • Instructions: Clear guidelines for the task
  • Context: Background information to set the scene
  • Input data: Information or data supplied for the model to use
  • Output indicators: Specifications for the desired output (e.g., word count, style)

Effective Prompting

  • Detailed prompts: More specific prompts lead to better results
  • Clear intentions: The prompt should clearly state what the model is supposed to do
  • Example: Instead of "Sunset image between mountains", try "Generate an image depicting a calm sunset about a river valley that rests amidst the mountains."
  • Avoiding generic prompts: Using generic prompts will lead to a non-specific output
  • Example: "Write a story about a farmer" is generic, "Write a story about a farmer who became a successful businessman in 10 years, highlighting their struggles and achievements" is more effective

Key Concepts

  • Naive prompting: Asking simple queries from the model
  • Contextual prompting: Giving context to the prompt helps the model understand the situation better
  • Output indicators: Defining desired output qualities (e.g., length, style)

Prompt Example (global warming):

  • "Write an essay in 600 words, analyzing the effects of global warming on marine life."
  • Provides instruction: Analyze effects
  • Provides context: Global warming affects life
  • Specifies output: 600 words essay
