ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other such tools are being developed artificial intelligence available to citizens. Now we can get all kinds of answers about any topic we can think of. These chats can compose sonnets, write code, find philosophy, and automate tasks.
However, when you can write anything you like ChatGPT and get it, there are ways to get more interesting and useful results from bots. This “quick engineering” becomes his specialty.
Sometimes all it takes is the addition of a few more words or an extra line of instructions and you can get ChatGPT responses that are a step above what everyone else is seeing—and we’ve included several examples below.
Although there is a lot you can do with the free version of ChatGPT, some of these tips require payment. ChatGPT Plus registration. Where this is the case, we have noted it in the note.
Get ChatGPT to Criticize Your Thoughts Like Your Child Would
We know that AI chats can be weird and insensitive at times, but some quick engineering can put an end to that: Tell ChatGPT to act like a curious, inquisitive 10-year-old with lots of questions, then have the AI give you feedback on whatever you’re discussing.
Whether you’re trying to plan a vacation or a side hustle with AI, this child-like interrogation will help you quickly identify weaknesses and potential problems, instead of just saying whatever you suggest sounds good. It will often bring up questions you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.
Use Your Phone’s Camera to Ask for Help
If you use the ChatGPT app on a phone, you can use the device’s camera and include photos taken as part of your note. Some examples might be “How tall is this sign,” “What kind of bug is this,” or “What does this sign say in English?” Just tap + (with) a button on the prompt box, then Camera send a picture to your tip.
Ask 80-20
ChatGPT can be a useful learning tool for almost any topic—as long as it has eaten enough training data on it—but it can tend to return large amounts of information frequently. One way to make it more effective is to use the “80-20 rule” in your tip.
It is known as the Pareto principleThe 80-20 rule states that 20 percent of the work leads to 80 percent of the results. In the world of ChatGPT, that means you can learn 80 percent of a topic from 20 percent of the relevant information about it.
The next time you need to speed something up via AI, try asking ChatGPT for “80-20 on …” whatever happens. It should get you up to speed on historical periods, bands, scientific concepts, movies and more.
Get ChatGPT to Improve Your Doodles
As well as generating AI images from scratch, ChatGPT will happily combine existing images as well. Tap or click + (plus) button in the prompt box, then select it Add images and files (desktop) or File (mobile phone) to select one or more available images. You can then use the prompt itself to explain what you want next.
