Many people think AI is a black box, and we don’t know exactly how it works. But did you know it actually has certain hidden “levers” you can pull to dramatically change the quality of its response? It’s true. Most people don’t realize that you can steer the AI’s response this way. How AI works is so mysterious to some that they’ve even started saying “please” and “thank you” in their ChatGPT prompts. Do they hope the AI will give them a higher-quality response back? (Or maybe they secretly think that when the Terminators start their human “cleanse”, they’ll remember who was naughty and who was nice. Just kidding. Kinda.)
From The Desk of Matt Zimmerman
Dear AI Prompt Creator, You know those levers I spoke about? Yes they do exist and I use them to guide the AI to write high-quality responses. I call these levers my “prompting principles.” I discovered a few of them during 600 hours of prompt engineering for a company that makes search engine optimization software. The rest of the principles I learned while coding my own AI writing software. It’s been about 2,000 hours of programming and prompt engineering, but the end result has helped tens of thousands of users create millions of blogs and high quality content. (Shameless plug: it’s called ZimmWriter.) Now here’s the crazy part. I haven’t seen many of these prompting principles shared by anyone else. Maybe it’s because these principles require thousands of hours of prompt engineering to discover. But whatever the reason, I’m going to share them with you in my training. The training is called: “Get Prompted.” In the training, I’ll share the prompting principles I’ve discovered to make the AI obey your prompt and deliver high-quality responses.
Here’s a handful of things you’ll learn in the training:
