-: How do you prompt ChatGPT?
You probably have already,
but just in case you want a little bit of a refresher,
here's the interface.
It is just a prompt box. Keep it pretty clean.
There are a lot of confusing features,
but don't worry, we'll walk you through all of those.
We might ask, what is the weather like today in London?
One of the cool things about ChatGPT
is that it has access to the web,
so it can actually search for you.
Another thing we might ask is,
can you create a social media post
about the weather in London
in the style of Malcolm Gladwell?
And because it understands the style
of every famous person in the world and in history,
because it has read everything on the internet,
it's a pretty good social media buddy.
"The intricate tapestry of London's climate,
today's weather presents a fascinating anomaly."
It also provide references as well
if you need to look things up.
I'm gonna say make me an image of the weather in London
in the style of Salvador Dali.
One of the cool things about ChatGPT
is that it has access to image generation as well.
It's not just search.
All of the chats that we've just had
over here on the left hand side,
we can share them with different people, we can rename them,
we can get rid of them, archive them,
all the different models up here
and they change all the time.
You can see it's a little bit confusing,
but GPT-4o is the current workhorse.
Model 4.5 is much more creative and interesting.
And then you have the reasoning models like o1
that are really good at figuring out math problems
or logic problems.
When you've asked a question,
you can keep the conversation going,
and it'll keep the context that you had before.
So say for example, we wanted to say,
now give me one in the style of Van Gogh,
and it knows what you were referring to.
There we go.
There's our Van Gogh style image of London's weather.
Whatever it is you ask ChatGPT to do,
chances are it's gonna do a pretty decent job of it.
But understanding prompt engineering
is really the trick to getting the most out of ChatGPT,
and that's what you're gonna learn
in the rest of the course.
