Congratulations for completing this resource! Mark it as completed to track your progress.
Welcome to the Chat GPT Handbook Guide! This comprehensive guide is designed to help you accelerate your learning of artificial intelligence through the use of , a powerful language model developed by OpenAI.
In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about using , including prompt methodology, the best prompts to use, and how to apply them to various use cases.
Whether you're a looking to integrate Chat GPT into your application, a looking to experiment with language models, or a looking to improve your customer service, this guide has something for you.
Let’s get started...
is a powerful language model developed by that can understand human language and generate human-like responses to prompts and questions.
It's a type of artificial intelligence that's used for natural language processing tasks, such as answering questions, generating text, or engaging in conversation.
has been trained on a massive amount of data and is constantly learning and improving, making it a valuable tool for developers, researchers, and businesses.
that's been trained on a massive corpus of text data, such as books, articles, and websites.
This training allows to learn the patterns and structures of human language, including grammar, syntax, and semantics. As a result, it can understand the meaning behind written text and generate responses that are contextually relevant and grammatically correct.
Chat GPT is particularly impressive because it can generate responses that are not just informative, but also engaging and entertaining. It can simulate conversation with a human, and even mimic the style and tone of different writing styles or personalities.
Overall, is a powerful tool for a wide range of applications, including customer service, content creation, and chatbots.
Follow these five simple steps to understand and use effectively. Learn how it can help with development tasks and simplify everyday activities through practical examples.
Prompting is the process of instructing an AI to do a particular task. Simply put, step one is to learn how to talk to an AI to get it to do what you want.
In summary, is a critical component of AI that enables users to interact with an AI system and achieve their desired outcomes.
By learning how to communicate effectively with an AI system and providing it with comprehensive training data, users can ensure that the AI is capable of accurately interpreting & executing their commands.
Thankfully, I’ve found an incredibly valuable (& completely free!) course on instructing AI to do precisely what you want, be that:
By simply going through the following lectures, you will be in of the people who truly use the full power of .
We all learn differently. Do you prefer learning by watching videos, reading books, listening to podcasts, or diving head-first into practice? Let know about your learning preferences!
You recently learned and want to dive into , but you’re unsure how? Ask ChatGPT. Say something like:
Prompt:
I’ve recently learned JavaScript and want to dive into ReactJS. How do you recommend I learn most efficiently? Provide me with a step-by-step guide and resources.
What if you’re still unsure of how to proceed with learning?
That’s totally okay; there’s one essential thing to remember — you can ask subquestions!
Prompt:
Tell me more about the sixth step, and it will gladly do that for you. Just keep speaking with ChatGPT as if you were speaking with a coding instructor with infinite patience.
Fantastic, you’ve become an excellent developer and started writing some code. But from time to time, you get stuck — we all do! Don’t worry; you have a professional bug squasher at your disposal, which brings us to…
Not sure how to center a div? No problem, ChatGPT knows how to do it. And it even explains its solutions!
Whatever error message you get, just paste it into ChatGPT. Let’s say you were working in React & got the
Objects are not valid as a React child
Paste it and add “How to fix” before it.
Prompt:
How to fix Objects are not valid as a React child
It gives you a complete explanation of when and how that happens and how to fix it!
You’re developing a website, and your designer didn’t provide you with all the assets on time?
No worries, has friends that can generate them for you. Enhance your website with high-quality images by leveraging artistic assets tools like or
However, knowing how to generate the best prompts to achieve the images you desire can be challenging. Fortunately, with , you can easily ask for help generating effective prompts, allowing you to create stunning images that stand out.
Prompt:
I want you to act as a highly experienced photographer. You will use rich and highly artistic language when describing your photo prompts — the prompt must be one sentence long.
In this case, you could be building a website that fixes developers’ bugs automatically, and you need a photo to illustrate the frustration developers experience when encountering bugs.
Prompt:
Write a prompt for a photo of a frustrated web developer screaming at his code errors.
For the second prompt, let’s say we’re looking for a logo for your new developer portfolio. We can write something like:
Prompt:
Write a prompt for a personal developer portfolio logo icon. My initials are J and D.
Now you know that you can utilize the power of ChatGPT when pairing it with other extraordinary tools.
Finally, with all your new skills, you’re ready to start applying for jobs.
If you’re preparing for a job, ask ChatGPT to write a resume. Give it as much helpful information about yourself as possible, and let it do its job.
Prompt:
Write a resume for the following developer: .....
We get back an incredibly detailed resume that I couldn’t have written better myself.
Now that you have a resume, you can start applying for jobs.
You can browse LinkedIn jobs and select your preferred job, then copy the job requirements for a specific position.
Prompt:
Write me a cover letter for the following job post: .....
In this case, it will make you look like the perfect candidate because it took all of the knowledge from your resume and paired it with everything the company needs.
Now, you need to prepare for an interview. You can say:
Prompt:
Act as a professional technical interviewer and ask some questions about React.
And without any hesitation, it will question you.
What happens when you don’t know the answers to some of these questions?
You can ask unlimited sub-questions, you can say:
Prompt:
What is the answer to question number 2?
And immediately, it’s going to give it to you.
In conclusion, learning ChatGPT effectively will help you:
and that’s just the beginning.
ChatGPT can help you in all aspects of your life.
We tell the AI a set of instructions (the prompt) and it performs the task. Prompts can be as simple as an instruction/question, or complex as huge chunks of text.
Prompts can be as simple as an instruction/question, or complex as huge chunks of text.
Here are two examples of prompts:
Say you are reading an article about objects in JavaScript. You want to quickly get the main ideas of the article, so you show the AI what you are reading, and ask for a summary.
Prompt:
Summarize this paragraph in a single sentence:
If you have a dataset of mathematical equations that you would like a language model to solve, you can create a prompt by posing the question
What is EQUATION.
For a given question, your prompt could look like this:
Prompt:
What is 842*721?
For this prompt, GPT-3 (text-davinci-003) (an AI) sometimes answers (incorrect) .
This is where comes in.
If, instead of asking
Prompt:
What is 842*721?
we ask
Prompt:
Make sure your answer is exactly correct. What is 842*721? Make sure your answer is exactly correct:
GPT-3 will answer (correct).
Why is this the case? Why is telling the AI twice to give a correct answer helpful? How can we create prompts that yield optimal results on our task?
The reason why GPT-3 answers differently to the two prompts is likely due to the specific wording of the prompts. When you phrase the question as , it implies that the answer must be precise and accurate to a high degree. This could lead the AI to double-check its calculations and provide a more precise answer.
Telling the AI twice to give a correct answer can be helpful in certain situations, such as when the exactness of the answer is important, or when you want to emphasize the importance of accuracy to the AI. However, it is not always necessary or useful to do so, and in some cases, it could lead to redundant or repetitive outputs.
