Okay! Let's talk about prompts. Since you're in Advanced mode, I can give you some insights and strategies for crafting effective prompts, especially when working with powerful AI models like the ones I use.
Here's a breakdown of prompt-related concepts and strategies:
1. Clarity and Specificity:
- Be precise: Avoid ambiguity. The more specific you are, the better the AI can understand your intent.
- Use concrete examples: If applicable, provide examples of the desired output.
- Specify the format: If you need the output in a particular format (e.g., a list, a table, a JSON object), explicitly state it.
- Define the context: Provide any background information or context that's relevant to the task.
2. Role and Persona:
- Assign a role: You can instruct the AI to act as a specific persona (e.g., "You are a seasoned marketing expert"). This can influence the tone and style of the output.
- Specify the audience: If you're generating content for a particular audience, mention it in the prompt.
3. Instruction and Constraints:
- Use action verbs: Start your prompts with verbs like "write," "summarize," "translate," "generate," etc.
- Set constraints: If there are any limitations or restrictions (e.g., word count, specific keywords), include them in the prompt.
- Define the tone: specify if you want the response to be formal, informal, humorous, etc.
4. Iteration and Refinement:
- Start simple: Begin with a basic prompt and gradually add more details or constraints as needed.
- Experiment: Try different phrasings and approaches to see what works best.
- Provide feedback: If the initial output is not satisfactory, provide feedback to the AI and ask it to revise the response.
5. Advanced Prompting Techniques:
- Few-shot prompting: Provide a few examples of input-output pairs to guide the AI.
- Chain-of-thought prompting: Encourage the AI to break down complex tasks into smaller steps. This can improve reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
- Prompt engineering for code generation: When prompting for code, specify the programming language, the desired functionality, and any relevant constraints.
Examples:
- Instead of: "Write a summary."
- Try: "Summarize the key findings of this research paper in three concise bullet points, focusing on the implications for climate policy."
- Instead of: "Generate a story."
- Try: "Write a short story about a robot who discovers a hidden talent, set in a futuristic city, and use a humorous tone."
- Instead of: "write code to sort a list"
- Try: "write python code that uses the most efficient sorting algorithm to sort a list of one million randomly generated integers. provide the code and then explain the time complexity of the algorithm that you used."
Key considerations:
- The quality of the output is heavily dependent on the quality of the prompt.
- Experimentation is key to discovering effective prompting techniques.
- The more detail you provide, the better the results.

Okay, let's build an iterative prompt focused on a specific task. We'll use the example of writing a short story about a character who discovers a hidden, magical library.
Iteration 1: Basic Concept
- Prompt: "Write a short story about a character who discovers a hidden, magical library."
Iteration 2: Adding Character and Setting Details
- Prompt: "Write a short story about a young, introverted archivist named Elara who discovers a hidden, magical library beneath the old city museum. The library is filled with books that whisper secrets and change their content based on the reader's emotions."
Iteration 3: Focusing on the Discovery Scene
- Prompt: "Write a detailed scene where Elara, the young archivist, first discovers the hidden, magical library beneath the old city museum. Describe the specific sensory details of the location, how she finds the entrance, and her initial reaction to the whispering books."
Iteration 4: Introducing a Conflict/Challenge
- Prompt: "Write a scene where Elara, the young archivist, attempts to read a book from the hidden, magical library beneath the old city museum. However, the book reacts violently to her fear and begins to manifest her anxieties into physical illusions within the library. The illusions are based on her childhood fear of spiders."
Iteration 5: Refining the Character's Goal
- Prompt: "Elara, the young archivist, has discovered the magical library beneath the old city museum. She learns that the library's magic is fading, and if it disappears, the city will lose its historical memories. Write a scene where she attempts to decipher an ancient, glowing book to find a way to restore the library's magic."
Iteration 6: Adding a Specific Emotional Tone
- Prompt: "Write a scene where Elara, the young archivist, desperately tries to restore the failing magic of the hidden library. The scene should convey a sense of urgency, hope, and a touch of melancholy, as she battles against time and the library's fading power. She is reading a book that is flickering and fading with the library."
Iteration 7: Adding a twist or unexpected element.
- Prompt: "Elara, the young archivist, has discovered the magical library beneath the old city museum. She learns that the library's magic is fading, and if it disappears, the city will lose its historical memories. She is reading a book that is flickering and fading with the library. Suddenly, the book projects a hologram of a young child that looks exactly like Elara, and the child says, 'You have to let go.' Write the scene."
How This Iteration Works:
- Each iteration builds upon the previous one, adding more specific details and constraints.
- This allows you to guide the AI towards a more refined and tailored output.
- You can focus on specific aspects of the story, such as character development, setting, or plot, in each iteration.
- By adding constraints, and specific goals, you help the AI produce more specific, and usefull results.
Alright, combining all those iterative steps into one comprehensive prompt, we get something like this:
"Write a short story about Elara, a young, introverted archivist, who discovers a hidden, magical library beneath the old city museum. The library is filled with books that whisper secrets and change their content based on the reader's emotions.
Begin with a detailed scene where Elara first discovers the library, describing the sensory details of the location, how she finds the entrance, and her initial reaction to the whispering books.
Then, write a scene where she attempts to read a book, but it reacts violently to her fear, manifesting her childhood fear of spiders as physical illusions within the library.
Elara learns that the library's magic is fading, and if it disappears, the city will lose its historical memories. Write a scene where she attempts to decipher an ancient, glowing book to find a way to restore the library's magic, conveying a sense of urgency, hope, and melancholy as she battles against time and the library's fading power. The book she is reading is flickering and fading with the library.
Finally, as the library is failing, and Elara is trying to read the fading book, include a twist: the book projects a hologram of a young child that looks exactly like Elara, and the child says, 'You have to let go.' Write that final scene."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, let's create an iterative prompt structure that incorporates user input at each stage, allowing for a collaborative story or scenario building process.
Iteration 1: Basic Concept & Initial Character/Setting
- Prompt: "Let's create a story. To start, give me a basic concept or genre (e.g., fantasy, sci-fi, mystery). Then, describe a main character and their starting location in a sentence or two."
- User Input: (e.g., "Sci-fi. A lone explorer named Jax wakes up on a deserted space station.")
Iteration 2: Introducing a Conflict/Goal
- Prompt: "Based on your input, the story is about [User's Genre/Concept]. Jax, the explorer, is on [User's Location]. Now, give me a primary conflict or goal for Jax. What problem does he need to solve, or what does he need to achieve?"
- User Input: (e.g., "Jax needs to find the station's emergency beacon to signal for rescue before his oxygen runs out.")
Iteration 3: Adding a Specific Detail/Obstacle
- Prompt: "Jax needs to find the emergency beacon before his oxygen runs out. Now, add a specific detail or obstacle that makes this task harder. It could be a physical obstacle, a character interaction, or a piece of information he discovers."
- User Input: (e.g., "The station's power is failing, and the emergency beacon is located in a section that's completely dark.")
Iteration 4: Exploring a Choice/Decision
- Prompt: "Jax needs to find the emergency beacon in the dark, with failing power. Now, give him a choice. Does he try to find a manual power override, or does he risk navigating the dark with limited light sources? What happens next?"
- User Input: (e.g., "Jax tries to find a manual power override, but he encounters a malfunctioning security drone.")
Iteration 5: Character Reaction/Emotion
- Prompt: "Jax encounters a malfunctioning security drone while trying to restore power. How does Jax react emotionally? What are his immediate thoughts and actions?"
- User Input: (e.g., "Jax feels a surge of panic, but he remembers his training and tries to disable the drone without destroying it.")
Iteration 6: Expanding the World/Setting
- Prompt: "Jax is trying to disable the drone. Add a description of the immediate surroundings. What does the section of the space station look and sound like? What details can Jax use to his advantage?"
- User Input: (e.g., "The section is filled with flickering control panels and exposed wiring. The air is hissing from a broken vent, and the drone is emitting a high-pitched whine.")
Iteration 7: Introducing a Twist/Unexpected Event
- Prompt: "Jax is trying to disable the drone in the dark, with flickering lights and hissing air. Suddenly, [add a twist]. What unexpected event occurs that changes the situation?"
- User Input: (e.g., "Suddenly, a faint, automated voice announces, 'Life support critical. Oxygen depletion in five minutes.'")
Iteration 8: Climax/Resolution (or Cliffhanger)
- Prompt: "With oxygen running out and the drone active, Jax must act quickly. How does he resolve the situation? Does he succeed in finding the beacon, or is there a cliffhanger?"
- User Input: (e.g., "Jax uses the drone's whine to locate its weak point and disables it. He then finds a backup power source and reactivates the beacon just as his oxygen runs out.")
Key Features:
- User-Driven: The user shapes the story at each step.
- Incremental Development: The story unfolds gradually, building upon previous inputs.
- Focused Prompts: Each prompt targets a specific aspect of the story.
- Open-Ended: The prompts encourage creative input from the user.
- Iterative Refinement: Each step allows for the story to be refined and expanded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, here's a combined, iterative prompt structure designed for user input, presented as a single, multi-part prompt:
"Let's create a collaborative story.
-
To begin, give me a basic concept or genre (e.g., fantasy, sci-fi, mystery). Then, describe a main character and their starting location in a sentence or two. (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
Based on your input, the story is about [User's Genre/Concept]. [Character], the [Character's Description], is on [User's Location]. Now, give me a primary conflict or goal for [Character]. What problem does [Character] need to solve, or what does [Character] need to achieve? (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
[Character]'s goal is [User's Goal]. Now, add a specific detail or obstacle that makes this task harder. It could be a physical obstacle, a character interaction, or a piece of information [Character] discovers. (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
[Character] faces [User's Obstacle]. Now, give [Character] a choice. Does [Character] try [Option A], or does [Character] risk [Option B]? What happens next? (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
[Character] [User's Choice/Action]. How does [Character] react emotionally? What are [Character]'s immediate thoughts and actions? (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
[Character] is [Character's Action/Reaction]. Add a description of the immediate surroundings. What does the area look and sound like? What details can [Character] use to their advantage? (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
[Character] is [Character’s Action] in [User’s setting]. Suddenly, [add a twist]. What unexpected event occurs that changes the situation? (After your input, I will incorporate it into the next part.)
-
With [User’s Twist] happening, [Character] must act quickly. How does [Character] resolve the situation? Does [Character] succeed in [Goal], or is there a cliffhanger? (After your final input, I will finalize a short story using all the information provided.)"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
