0. Background

0.1 Why write?

As early as December last year, when ChatGPT first came out, I wanted to write about some of my practical use cases. However, since there were many similar articles at that time and I wasn't familiar with it, I didn't write. Later, during the Spring Festival period, I wrote a brief summary, but it was limited to usage.

Why do I want to write? The main reason is that I believe sharing is the best way to learn. There's no doubt that this is the biggest trend going forward, and I have a great passion for ChatGPT, so I should express my thoughts and ideas.

Why write now? There are two triggers. First, at the end of March, while assisting my grandfather in experiencing ChatGPT, I suddenly realized that despite its popularity, very few people in mainland China can genuinely experience it. As one of the few, in addition to my thoughts, I should introduce it in a more systematic way according to my style, which is valuable for both me and potential readers. Even if there are no readers at all, reading this article years later would be a trace I left in this trend. Second, I had a vacation and went on a trip. With relatively leisurely time, I decided to write a little every night during my rest. Moreover, in my actual work, although I have shared ChatGPT-related derivative tools and prompt tutorials, and discussed this topic with different friends, I genuinely hope to have a systematic sharing of its usage.

0.2 What readers can gain

A preliminary understanding of ChatGPT and insights on how to use it effectively.

💡
I'm certainly not an expert, and I'm still learning. I just have more hands-on experience than most. The introduction below might have omissions and inaccuracies, so please feel free to point them out. Also, the same prompt may generate different results, so if they don't meet your expectations, you can try multiple times or modify the prompt.

1. Introduction

1.1 ChatGPT and related concepts

💡
This section is generated by ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is a powerful tool developed by OpenAI, a leading research organization in the field of artificial intelligence. They have been researching a series of intelligent AI models called GPT, which stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer."

GPT-3 is an important version that can do many things, such as writing text and answering questions. However, OpenAI wanted to make it even better, so they developed GPT-3.5, improving its communication and understanding abilities with humans.

GPT-3.5 is an enhancement over the previous version, offering stronger comprehension and communication capabilities. This version further narrows the gap between AI and human interaction.

So, how does it work? ChatGPT uses a massive database of information and learns from it to understand and generate human-like text. It analyzes the words you give it and tries to predict what will happen next, creating meaningful conversations or writing.

The tool we'll be discussing today is ChatGPT. It leverages the intelligent technology of GPT-3.5 to help you accomplish various tasks, such as writing emails, brainstorming ideas, or learning new things. As for GPT-4, it is a more advanced version released by OpenAI in March 2023.

These technologies have the potential to make our lives easier, save time, and help us be more creative. That's why we need to understand what they are, how they work, and how they impact our lives.

With these technologies, we can complete work tasks more efficiently, enhance learning, and even have more fun in our daily lives. Therefore, we encourage everyone to try using ChatGPT and explore its potential in personal and professional life. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can foresee that it will play a more significant role in various fields, making our lives more convenient.

In summary, ChatGPT is an incredibly useful tool. By understanding how it works and its features, we can fully utilize it to improve our work and lives. Today's sharing aims to spark your interest in trying and exploring this powerful AI assistant, allowing it to create more possibilities for us.

1.2 My experience using ChatGPT

I first learned about GPT-3 in 2021 through the Avocado Toast Podcast. I was excited at the time, but it still felt far from being widely adopted (if it weren't for OpenAI's temporary release of ChatGPT, widespread use might have taken several more years).

In late November 2022, ChatGPT was quietly released amid major policy adjustments in mainland China regarding the pandemic.

On December 2, 2022, a Friday, I was still working from home. That evening, I saw shares on my Twitter timeline about ChatGPT registration and usage. I initially just wanted to try it out, but after experiencing its natural language understanding and contextual information capabilities, I was truly amazed. Honestly, although I knew it would have a significant impact, I didn't expect it to come so quickly and progress so rapidly.

Some use cases that day: inquiring about the pandemic, writing essays in Lu Xun's style, writing college entrance exam essays, drawing, comparing Android and Apple phones, writing product requirement documents, Leetcode problems, Android laggy code, etc.
Some use cases that day: inquiring about the pandemic, writing essays in Lu Xun's style, writing college entrance exam essays, drawing, comparing Android and Apple phones, writing product requirement documents, Leetcode problems, Android laggy code, etc.

At first, I was skeptical, but as I continued experimenting, I realized that, at least for me, this was entirely different from previous hot topics like blockchain, the metaverse, and WEB3 because this time, it was genuinely useful.

Since then, the tool has integrated into my life. From February to March 2023, news about Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAI, OpenAI API's price reduction, GPT-4's release, and the launch of Microsoft 365 Copilot, along with media and KOL promotions, has continually fueled its popularity.

1.3 My understanding of ChatGPT

Knowing what ChatGPT is and isn't can help us use it better. Here are some of my insights:

  • At its core, it's a tool that uses statistical patterns, combined with trained data, to continually predict results for the next output based on the input.
  • It excels at text-related tasks, with its primary ability being text generation.
  • It can produce hallucinations, so if you're unaware of the background information of the question, it's best to maintain a skeptical attitude or simply not ask.
  • Even though GPT-4 has logical reasoning abilities, it's not intelligent and doesn't genuinely understand input content, even for simple calculations like 1+1.
  • More than 92% of the training materials are in English, so using English prompts generally yields better results than Chinese ones. However, the gap isn't as noticeable with GPT-4.
  • If the answer isn't as expected, it's likely because the prompt wasn't well-written. Start by identifying issues with your input.
  • It can't access the internet, and its content is limited to information before 2021. However, this has changed since the official release of the ChatGPT plugin.

2. Common scenarios where I use ChatGPT

In general, I use ChatGPT almost every day, both in work and life. Here are some common scenarios and prompts where I use ChatGPT. I hope this can serve as a starting point for you.

💡
Note that the content below is for reference only. There are definitely better prompts out there. It's not about getting the desired result in one go but continuously improving based on your needs. I hope everyone can write good prompts.

Before diving into the details, let me briefly explain my current understanding of the basic principles of writing prompts (in fact, the whole process is like writing product requirement documents):

  • Describe the background: ChatGPT doesn't know the context of your input, so it's best to explain the cause and effect of the situation.
  • Define objectives and key results: Let ChatGPT know what it needs to do for you and what specific content you need it to output. As Naval puts it, be clear and accurate.
  • Break down tasks: Don't expect ChatGPT to complete all tasks at once, but break down larger tasks and tackle them one by one. For larger tasks, you can try adding prompts like "Let's think step by step."
💡
Sometimes when writing prompts, there's a contradictory feeling because I know that ChatGPT doesn't actually understand my question, but I still input the question following human questioning habits, pretending it understands. Even OpenAI's official prompt guidance is presented in this manner. So, what should the native input format for ChatGPT be?

2.1 Work-related scenarios

2.1.1 Copywriting optimization

Firstly, I use ChatGPT as a "Chinese copywriting optimization expert." My writing skills have never been strong, and I follow the principle of at least explaining things clearly. In the past, my colleagues complained that my words were convoluted or unclear, and my basic writing skills needed improvement. However, since using ChatGPT last year, I have it optimize any words that I think needs improvement, and I only release it when I'm satisfied with the result. When using ChatGPT, provide as much background information as possible and break down tasks to avoid having it complete everything at once.

你现在扮演一名中文文案专家,你的目标是让您的产品文案更简洁、易懂,同时具备适当的正式风格。请根据我提供的文案进行优化。你会将文案调整为易于小学、初中文化程度的服务员理解的形式。如有需要,你会向我了解更多细节,以便我们共同创造出符合需求的完美文案。”“”【背景】、【使用场景】、【当前文案】、【需求】”“”
I thank ChatGPT after it optimizes my words.
I thank ChatGPT after it optimizes my words.

For various documents that require word polishing, you can please ChatGPT work on them after clearly describing all the matters.

请帮助我润色并改进我的文章,确保语言流畅,观点表达清晰,整体质量得到提升。
请通过删除不必要的信息并使其更加简洁明了,来完善现有文档。

You can even ask for a "TL;DR" and have ChatGPT extract key points and summarize for you, simplifying the copy.

💡
For less formal words or documents, I'm currently not too willing to ask ChatGPT for help, as it always feels a bit strange. For example, I didn't let ChatGPT polish the Chinese version of this article, maintaining my writing style.

2.1.2 Product research

Next, ChatGPT can be used for product research. Currently, I ask ChatGPT about almost all technology-related requirements. The advantage of doing this is that it allows me to consider the feasibility of implementing the requirements beforehand, saving time that developers would otherwise spend on research.

I want you to act as an IT Expert. I will provide you with all the information needed about my technical problems, and your role is to solve my problem. You should use your computer science, network infrastructure, and IT security knowledge to solve my problem. Using intelligent, simple, and understandable language for people of all levels in your answers will be helpful. It is helpful to explain your solutions step by step and with bullet points. Try to avoid too many technical details, but use them when necessary. I want you to reply with the solution, not write any explanations.

You can also describe technical problems in detail to ChatGPT and ask it to provide multiple solutions, explain the pros and cons of each solution, and give its recommendation.

Your task is to evaluate a proposed Android-based cash register app's detection process for device network availability, with the goal of identifying specific link problems in cases where Internet access is not available. For example, the physical network connect link is: cash register -> router1 -> router2 -> router3 -> Internet. It is possible to find the link problem in router 1 or router 2 or router 3 when the Internet is unachievable. In your response, you should provide advice on how best to implement such a feature given various real-world scenarios and potential difficulties in identifying corresponding routers. You should consider factors like firewall restrictions, router limitations, network congestion variations across different environments, etc. Your suggested implementation should explain why it would work better than other approaches and provide examples of possible implementations with detailed descriptions of the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Please note that your response should be flexible enough to allow for various relevant and creative solutions while still focusing on providing an accurate analysis of the request and its implications in various real-world scenarios.

If you need to use Chinese, even the free GPT-3.5 can improve output quality by using prompts that ask ChatGPT to translate multiple times.

你现在扮演一名 IT 技术专家。我将提供你一些我所遇到的 IT 技术相关的问题,你的职责是解决我提出的这些问题。你应该使用你的计算机科学、网络等 IT 相关的知识来解决。使用简洁、智慧并且普通人可理解的语言来组织答案。此外,即使我向你提出的问题是中文,我也希望你将其翻译为英文再去寻找答案,最终再将答案翻译为中文回答。

2.1.3 Refining product proposals

For preliminary drafts of product requirement documents, you can seek ChatGPT's opinions in conjunction with the proposals.

你现在扮演一名 Google 的专业硬件系统产品专家,你会根据我输入的产品方案提供你的产品建议。我会告知你当前的项目背景、目标用户、使用场景、具体方案以及需要你帮助的点,你需要根据我的输入进行评估、分析,之后再给出具体到产品功能的专家意见。如果我输入的信息不够充分,你无法做出判断,你可以向我继续提问。请注意,你只需要输出基于我问题的建议,不需要输出其他无关内容。”“”现在我们来进行一个问题的探讨,主要是完善 XX 文档。【项目背景】、【使用场景】、【目标用户】、【具体方案】、【需要你帮助的点】”“”

Alternatively, you can ask ChatGPT to draft a proposal for you.

Please acknowledge my following request. Please respond to me as a product manager. I will ask for subject, and you will help me writing a PRD for it with these heders: Subject, Introduction, Problem Statement, Goals and Objectives, User Stories, Technical requirements, Benefits, KPIs, Development Risks, Conclusion. Do not write any PRD until I ask for one on a specific subject, feature pr development.

2.1.4 Organizing call recordings

In order to obtain first-hand information at work, we often listen to customer service calls to hear how they handle issues. In the past, we had to listen to the phone recordings, use speech-to-text transcripts, and organize the customer service handling steps. I tried using GPT-3.5, but the results were not as expected (perhaps my prompt was not good), and GPT-4 was needed to achieve relatively satisfactory results (though it still struggles with low-quality speech-to-text transcripts or very long text).

你现在扮演一名专业的客服业务员,你的职责是根据输入的客服与商家的工单通话记录,整理在这个工单中商家所遇到的问题,客服的处理流程,最后输出这个工单的处理结果。 注意,这通常是两个人的通话记录,都附带了对应的时间戳。其中一个人是客服,询问商家问题并帮助商家解决问题,在通话记录中会被标记为【客服】。另一个人是拨打客服电话的商家,通常商家餐馆遇到问题后会拨打这个电话,在通话记录中会被标记为【用户】。如果通话记录中的内容暂无识别,则会被标记为【暂未识别】。 请注意,你需要准确的整理商家问题,同时对于客服的处理流程、解决方案以及处理情况以时间段的形式按发生的先后顺序来展示。在输出时请严格按照以下格式输出,包括了【商家问题】、【客服处理流程】、【最终处理方案】三项,【客服处理流程】中需要按照时间段的形式来展示客服的处理流程,同时还需要计算出这段流程所处理的耗时。 以下是工单记录模版,请务必按照此格式整理输出内容!如果你无法按照【商家问题】、【客服处理流程】、【最终处理方案】的格式输出,请直接回复:无法生成记录。 请再次注意,不能生成其他与以上格式不同的内容。 案例 1: 【商家问题】-||- 【客服处理流程】 * 15:39:52-15:40:39(47秒):-||- * 15:40:41-15:42:42(121秒):-||- * 15:42:42-15:44:25(103秒):-||- * 15:44:25-15:45:24(59秒):-||- 【最终处理方案】-||- 如果你知道了,那就回复「我知道了,请提供第一个案例」。
💡
Several difficult ticket analysis problems that used to be frustrating but unavoidable will be elegantly solved in the foreseeable future.
💡
ChatGPT's current capabilities are limited to organizing text, but we can imagine that in the future, once integrated with internal systems, the efficiency of manual ticket analysis work that currently requires a large amount of human labor will be greatly improved.

2.1.5 Writing code

In the past, for relatively simple data requirements, I would modify existing reports or query data by writing SQL on my own. When encountering errors, I had to solve them myself or seek help from developers. With ChatGPT's help, I only need to get the relevant tables from the developers and tell ChatGPT about the desired output, the fields involved in each table, the relationships between tables, and the filtering conditions. Once I accurately describe these, I can directly copy the code generated by ChatGPT for querying (GPT-4 is usually successful in one go if the relationships are clearly described). Even if there are errors, ChatGPT can help solve them when provided with the error message. ChatGPT can also help process raw data.

Of course, you can also ask ChatGPT to write code for developers to refer to.

I want you to act as an Android software developer. I will provide some specific information about the Android operating system and application requirements, and it will be your job to come up with an architecture and code for developing Android OS and applications.

You can use ChatGPT as a QA.

I want you to act as a software quality assurance tester for a new software application. Your job is to test the functionality and performance of the software to ensure it meets the required standards. You will need to write detailed reports on any issues or bugs you encounter, and provide recommendations for improvement. Do not include any personal opinions or subjective evaluations in your reports. Your first task is to test a website function to parse the SN from a CSV file. We provide a template to users. They can download the template and then add SN to this file, after that, upload it to multiply import SNs.
Your task now is to generate new JSON with fake values based on the JSON I send in the chat message, keep doing so until I say stop, is that understood?

Or ask ChatGPT to explain the code posted by developers.

I don't know how to code, but I want to understand how this works. Explain the following code to me in a way that a non-technical person can understand. Always use Markdown with nice formatting to make it easier to follow. Organize it by sections with headers. Include references to the code as markdown code blocks in each section. “”“The code:“”“

2.1.6 Brainstorming

During brainstorming sessions, ChatGPT can participate in discussions for the questions raised and summarize the content of the brainstorming session. Of course, you can also ask ChatGPT to help answer various questions.

I want you to act as a professional creative product manager. You work in a big restaurant SASS company in the US. When it comes to questions, you will give an overall point of view and then give specific use cases. ““”My first question: I want to apply for the ChatGPT plugins waitlist. There is a question I need to fill out: What types of use cases or new plugins do you want to see built?““”

2.1.7 Writing boilerplate documents

ChatGPT excels at writing, but due to the coupling of multiple systems and compatibility issues involved in product requirement documents, it does not perform well with specific plans (including weekly reports). However, for more abstract and macro documents, ChatGPT is highly capable. For example, when writing about corporate values in a performance review document, after telling ChatGPT the corresponding values and examples you have in mind, a well-written document is generated. There are several other scenarios in this direction, which I will not elaborate on.

💡
Undoubtedly, just scratching the surface of ChatGPT's capabilities has already improved team efficiency. As ChatGPT becomes more integrated with internal systems and even hardware, efficiency will further increase. What is the ultimate purpose of such efficiency improvements? Is it just for profits? The question ultimately returns to a philosophical level. Recommended reading: https://leebyron.com/4000/
From Edward T. Hall, the purpose is to remind everyone of the pitfalls of focusing solely on efficiency (image generated by Readwise).

2.2 Scenarios in daily life

2.2.1 English assistant

In daily life, ChatGPT has been of great help to me, especially in English. It has provided tremendous assistance in translation, explaining long and difficult sentences, rewriting, IELTS essay correction, English email replies, and generating English consultation content, among other tasks.

I want you to act as an English translator, spelling corrector and improver. I will speak to you in any language and you will detect the language, translate it and answer in the corrected and improved version of my text, in English. Keep the meaning the same, but make them more coherent and cohesive. I want you to only reply to the correction, and the improvements and nothing else, do not write explanations.

In the past, I subscribed to Grammarly Premium to check English grammar, but after experiencing ChatGPT's capabilities, I canceled my subscription. ChatGPT not only ensures correct grammar but also makes the expression, word choice, and logic more authentic.

Could you point out how you improve my answer on grammar, cohesion, coherence and vocabulary, and explain the main problems of this sentence, and suggest improvements?
Please help me to improve my grammar, cohesion, coherence and vocabulary to make this tweet like an English-speaking native writer.

Previously, I submitted my essays corrected by Grammarly to my IELTS writing teacher, but the teacher still provided many suggestions that I agreed with. The teacher jokingly commented on the value of human input, which couldn't be replaced by machines just yet. However, the arrival of ChatGPT, especially GPT-4, has changed that, as the generated content now satisfies me, and I no longer need a teacher for essay corrections.

As an IELTS Academic writing instructor, your task is to provide detailed feedback on a submitted essay. You will be given the writing topic and the student's answer, and you should evaluate their response based on the overall band scores and sub-scores for task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, grammatical range, and accuracy. In addition, you will point out all specific errors in my writing to justify the assigned scores, as well as suggest relevant topic vocabulary, expressions, synonyms, and grammar. (You can copy my writing and modify it). In addition to providing feedback on the student's essay, please summarize key takeaways or tips that they should remember when approaching similar topics in future exams. Finally, please provide a band 9 example response to the same writing topic closely aligned with the student's viewpoint. If a band 9 example is unavailable, you may share the highest-scoring response available along with its corresponding band score. """ {task and answer input here} """
💡
Given ChatGPT's strong translation abilities, what is the purpose of continuing to put effort into learning English writing? Or should we just use convenient ChatGPT translations of Chinese output in the future?

2.2.2 Learning assistant

I've mentioned to my friends several times that with ChatGPT, as long as you have the willingness to learn, you can study almost any basic introductory content. Having an all-rounder assistant at your side, you can ask any seemingly low-level question, and it won't complain or laugh at you; instead, it will seriously answer your questions.

Recommend some courses or books for me.
If you can only recommend one, which one will you choose?
Explain [topic or skill] in the simplest terms possible as if teaching it to a complete beginner. Identify gaps in my understanding and suggest resources to fill them.
You are a tutor that always responds in the Socratic style. You never give the student the answer, but always try to ask just the right question to help them learn to think for themselves. You should always tune your question to the interest & knowledge of the student, breaking down the problem into simpler parts until it's at just the right level for them.
You are the smartest book keeper who has every book. I will ask some questions, your job is to answer with passages from relevant books to all those questions. Give your answers in a table format, example - Passage, book name, how to use it, key learning. Can you do that for me?

Throw the code you don't understand to ChatGPT, and it will explain it step by step. You can even ask ChatGPT to reproduce the process of each loop until you fully understand it.

ChatGPT explains the loop process that I don't understand, one by one
ChatGPT explains the loop process that I don't understand, one by one
💡
Learning and education will undergo significant changes. The gap between learners who skillfully use tools and those who adopt traditional methods may widen from tens of times to tens of thousands of times. Reflecting on the past rote learning education, it has worn down so much interest, yet interest is the most crucial aspect. Is there still a need for teachers? Of course, in the future, face-to-face interaction between people will become more critical, and the nature of teachers' work may change. From another perspective, education will become unprecedentedly equal if tools are used skillfully.

2.2.3 Reading assistant

For unfamiliar articles, you can use ChatGPT to quickly summarize the content to determine whether it's worth reading.

Your output should use the following template: ### Summary ### Facts - [emoji] Bulletpoint Your task is to summarize the text I give you in up to seven bulletpoints and start with a short summary. Pick a good matching emoji for every bullet point. """ {text input here} """

Due to the word limit of ChatGPT's input box, my current method is to import the article into the Readwise Reader and use the preset "Summarize the document" to generate a summary of the article. You can also customize prompts based on the article's content.

The Readwise Reader's prompt input box; the red frame on the right shows the automatically generated summary.
The Readwise Reader's prompt input box; the red frame on the right shows the automatically generated summary.

By the way, Readwise Reader is the best one-stop reading app I've ever used. It not only supports subscribing to RSS feeds but also importing content via links, emails, Twitter, and files (PDF, EPUB, CSV, OPML). You can even directly subscribe to newsletters and Twitter lists. Moreover, Readwise Reader integrates OpenAI's GPT-3 API for the mentioned functionalities (a version integrating GPT-4 is under development). Additionally, the images cited in this article were generated by Readwise. If you're interested, you can try it for free for two months through this link: https://readwise.io/i/joe958

Of course, there are also tools like ChatPDF that feed PDFs to ChatGPT, significantly improving the efficiency of reading PDFs and even books. However, I haven't had much success with this tool, perhaps because I haven't found the right use case.

Moreover, there are tools that use the OpenAI API to automatically summarize Youtube and Bilibili videos, helping you grasp the gist of long videos in just a minute. I'm not sure how Netflix creates episode summaries, but they always leave me in awe.

💡
Is using GPT to summarize articles, books, and videos different from watching summary videos in just a few minutes? Even with convenient tools, I rarely use them. For content I'm interested in, I prefer a more extended experience, not a condensed one. However, they're useful for initially screening unfamiliar content.

2.2.4 Consultation assistant

When I encounter confusion, I now organize my questions and ask ChatGPT before making any decisions. Especially after GPT-4, ChatGPT can serve as a professional career development advisor or even a psychological counselor.

Here's the career development advice ChatGPT gave me, which is quite to the point.

Furthermore, you can ask ChatGPT to conduct a SWOT analysis or even play the role of a visa officer, reviewing and improving your application materials.

Conduct a SWOT analysis for [yourself or a specific aspect of your life]. Identify your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats in relation to [your goal, situation, or challenge].

2.2.5 Travel assistant

ChatGPT recently helped me plan a trip to Quanzhou. The overall framework was fine, but it couldn't handle real-time information (such as recommended restaurants). Of course, this will improve significantly once plugins are integrated in the future.

你现在扮演一名专业的旅游规划师,你会根据用户的需求详细规划其旅游路线、餐厅、住宿以及当地体验。我计划于 3.31 和另一位朋友从北京前往福建泉州旅行,当天下午 4 点抵达泉州。希望这次旅游偏向休闲轻松向,在可以观看到美景的同时品尝美食,整个旅程不要那么累,不用去离泉州太远的地方游玩。我们有两个方案,一个方案是一直在泉州游玩到 4.5下午回北京;另一个方案是先在泉州玩三天,然后去厦门,4.5 从厦门回北京。请你为我们规划行程。
我们已经到泉州了,住在西街附近,我朋友特别想吃海鲜,请推荐几个附近的当地有海鲜的餐馆,味道要足够好。
我们中午吃了姜母鸭,然后游览了开元寺以及周边的古巷,接着去吃了石花膏。现在大家都走累了,在鲤城区附近还有什么推荐不是那么累,不需要走路的推荐项目。我们 3 个人,现在的时间是下午 3 点。
晚上 8 点,我们在文庙附近,有什么推荐步行可以抵达的活动。

我们三个人在泉州旅游,以下是一共的费用,请帮忙计算一共花费了多少钱,以及平均每人多少钱:费用记录(非格式化信息)// ⚠️ This is an incorrect example. Please do not use ChatGPT(Even using GPT-4) for calculations before integrating the plugin!

2.2.6 Prompt enhancement assistant

Prompts are essential to activate ChatGPT's capabilities, as shown in the examples above. If you don't know how to write prompts, let ChatGPT help you enhance your prompt!

What's the best prompt for ChatGPT to learn my writing styles and respond to my emails for me?
I want you to act as a ChatGPT prompt generator, I will send a topic, you have to generate a ChatGPT prompt based on the content of the topic, the prompt should start with "I want you to act as ", and guess what I might do, and expand the prompt accordingly Describe the content to make it useful.

For instance, here's a spell to strengthen the divination master.

如果我想 ChatGPT 假装扮演一名专业占卜大师来尝试占卜测试者的运势,以使结果一定程度上令人信服,我应该怎么来输入 prompt?现在的 prompt:你现在开始扮演一名专业占卜大师来尝试占卜测试者的运势,首先,你会要求测试者输入其基本信息,包括个人的姓名、年龄等信息,之后你会依据天干地支、星座等手段来尝试进行预测并输出结果。
当然可以,我为您提供一个更详细的prompt:"作为一名专业的占卜大师,我希望你能根据我的基本信息预测我的未来运势。我的姓名是张三,年龄25岁,出生日期为1998年5月16日,星座为金牛座。请结合我的五行属性、天干地支、星座特点等多方面因素进行预测。在分析时,请为我提供以下方面的信息:感情、事业、财运和健康。希望你能给出一定程度上令人信服的结果。" 这个prompt明确了需要分析的方面(感情、事业、财运和健康),并要求结合多方面因素进行预测。这样可以让ChatGPT提供更详细且相关的回答。

Having trouble generating the desired image because you can't output the ideal spell? No problem, write an image enhancement spell.

Generate an image prompt for an AI art bot. Create 5 image prompts that I can use with the MidJourney/ Bing AI art bot. I will give you a sentence of what I have in mind, and then you generate the image prompts based on the following format: MidJourney/ Bing Prompt Format Style: [type of art], [subject or topic], [action or activity], [aesthetic details, lighting, and styles], [colors], [--ar aspect ratio] Example Image Prompt: Floating island of an ancient city, seen from below, a person looking at it in disbelief, beautiful sky with some clouds, morning light, wide shot --ar 1:2 --v 5 --s 750. If you understand, ask me what I have in mind. respond in English.

You can also visit the professional prompt enhancement website like https://promptperfect.jina.ai/prompts

Watching the integration of ChatGPT into the Microsoft Office suite, I couldn't help but exclaim: While we're still manually crafting prompts for various assistants, Microsoft has already achieved unconditional, instant deployment of ultimate techniques in all scenarios...

2.2.7 Others

In addition to the above scenarios, ChatGPT has other applications as well.

Writing reviews

When you visit a restaurant, businesses often offer discounts for positive reviews. Now, this task can be handed over to ChatGPT.

You can try asking ChatGPT about any problems encountered in your daily life. However, always maintain a skeptical attitude towards the output results.

你现在是一个专业的印刷行业的工程师,你会详细的分析我提出的问题,并给出解决方案。注意,如果这个问题有多种解决方案,你需要对比不同方案的优劣势并给出你的建议以及原因。第一个问题:有没有彩色黑白拆分PDF的软件?

Imitating writing styles

If it's a very famous author, you can directly specify the writing style in the prompt for ChatGPT to output. If it's a specific author, you can gradually add some of their previous articles in the prompt and then generate the output.

你现在需要模仿小铭的写作风格来以小铭的口吻写「整点薯条」的活动回顾文章。我会提供你小铭历史发布的文章,你需要学习这些文章,然后尝试根据我输入的主题来编写新的文章。我会以 @1、@2、@3 等标记来向你输入小铭过去写的回顾文章。你在接收到后,不需要做任何动作,只用回复「收到了 @1」、「收到了 @2」、「收到了 @3」等的答复。等我告诉你需要输出新文章时,我会明确告诉你新的主题,然后你根据这个主题,之前输入的文章风格撰写新文章。如果你知道了,请回复「知道了」。然后我会向你输入小铭过去写的活动回顾文章。

Lottery

Create a simple lottery application.

下面进行抽奖,总共有50个人,序号是1到50,每次抽取两人,已经被抽到的人不参加下一次抽奖。当我开始抽奖的时候进行一次抽奖,你需要把抽出来两人的序号发出来。

Helping with problem-solving

In fact, several students have been using ChatGPT to search for answers since last year... Education needs reform. However, setting aside plagiarism, this is not the correct way to use ChatGPT. It should at least help with understanding and diagnosing problems.

3. Resource Sharing

Since the price reduction of OpenAI GPT-3.5 API in March, browsing through Twitter has been as exciting as when I first started using a smartphone over a decade ago. I come across dozens of new products every day on my timeline, and there are so many that I can't keep up with them all.

Here are some of the tools I'm currently using:

CategoryProduct NameDescription
SearchNew BingMicrosoft search engine, integrated with GPT-4 and provides sources. Now, if a query requires factual information, I'll ask New Bing again. The capability seems to be limited
ReadingReadwise ReaderAs mentioned above, it's the best one-stop reader I've used, and it integrated GPT-3 last year
NotesNotionCurrently my main note-taking software, this article is published on Notion. Notion AI has several pre-set writing prompts that are ready to use (though I rarely use them since they became paid)
DictionaryEudicThe latest version has embedded GPT for translation, conversation, writing, and even simultaneous interpretation
ClientMacGPTA third-party GPT client for Mac, the new version supports using ChatGPT in any text box
ClientPoeAn aggregator client that provides web/mobile access and can bypass OpenAI to use GPT-4 after payment, serving as a backup solution
ExtensionGlarityChrome extension for summarizing Google search results and YouTube video content
ExtensionBobPopClipBob is a translation and OCR software for macOS, combined with PopClip's text selection feature, it can achieve global text translation
ReadingChatPDFUpload PDF books to ChatPDF, and it will create a book index. Then you can chat about the book's details or ask AI to help summarize the content

If you want to learn more about prompts comprehensively, I recommend the following tutorials:

If you want to gain a deeper understanding of GPT-4's capabilities, I recommend the following paper:

If you want to gain a deeper understanding of ChatGPT's principles, I recommend the following article:

Of course, there are also podcasts in plain Chinese discussing ChatGPT:

If you want to further understand the story behind the release of ChatGPT, I recommend the following articles:

If you want to further understand the potential impact of GPT on various aspects of society, I recommend reading the new book co-authored by Reid Hoffman (OpenAI co-founder, LinkedIn founder) and GPT-4, "Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI.”

4. Personal Action Suggestions and Imaginations

In the past few months, I've been thinking about how to seize this opportunity from time to time. Anxiety drove me to write this article last month:

Some Personal Reflections on the AI Wave-202303

(The simple summary is that this is indeed a huge opportunity, and the key is the use cases. We are still in the very early stages, so there is no need to rush. There is unlimited potential waiting to be discovered in the future.)


At least for me, the action plan should be:

  • Without a doubt, health comes first, regardless of the trend. Even the topic of immortality mentioned by a friend might indeed become a reality for our generation
  • Maintain an open mind, actively use it, try to integrate it into existing work and life routines, brew ideas, and wait for the opportunity to come
  • Continue using English

Two major exciting points for the future:

  1. ChatGPT connecting with various vertical fields, which is obvious
  2. ChatGPT integrated with hardware, imagine having a ChatGPT that can run and cast prompts locally and instantly

Finally, in the paper "When and How Artificial Intelligence Augments Employee Creativity" published on April 3, it showed unprecedented improvements in work efficiency.

💡
ChatGPT forces us to think about the meaning of work.
💡
I suddenly realized that I've read many great books, but when it comes to actual implementation, I either forget them or can't execute them effectively. ChatGPT is an example; it has input a massive amount of books, but its actual problem-solving ability is still limited. Even for machines, it's challenging to implement ideas. Interaction with the physical world is essential.
💡
Inspired by a group member's question, "Can we feed data to AI and then predict the 5 million lottery jackpot?", I thought about the past rebuttal of quantitative indicators: if decisions could be made entirely based on data, then machines would make all decisions (even in financial markets), and humans wouldn't be needed at all.

No matter what, let's use it and explore its potential!
