Get Exactly What You Want From Generative AI With These Simple Prompting Tips - Chandra Steele, PC Magazine

Getting the most out of AI primarily involves knowing how to talk to it. While large language models are designed to spit out naturalistic language and can understand it as well, there are ways to write your requests that will get you closer to the results you want and faster.  All AI tools, including the most frequently used ones—like OpenAI’s ChatGPT (for text), OpenAI’s Dall-E (for images), Microsoft’s Copilot (task assistance powered by OpenAI), Adobe Firefly (for images), and Anthropic’s Claude (for text)—respond to prompts. This is the information that you provide in the form of a phrase or sentence(s) to the AI tool. A prompt is essentially programming through words. In turn, the AI interprets your prompt through a combination of machine learning (an algorithmic system that does not rely on explicit instructions) and natural language processing (the ability to understand language).
