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
