Complete ChatGPT Tutorial - [Become A Power User in 30 Minutes]

hey everyone welcome to the channel my name is Mike in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to go from beginner to expert with the most powerful tool on the internet right now let's chat GPT you may have seen headlines about this disruptive Artificial Intelligence being able to replace jobs and write documents and emails and answer questions and the list goes on and on I can even write code so in this video I'm going to start out with the bare bone basics of account setup and interface layout and then I'll go over 10 major types of commands that you can use to get the most out of this software and at the end once we get to the more advanced ones I'll show you how to modify and optimize your commands to get even better responses this is great for web development for food and cooking ideas for business Education Health mental health the list goes on and on with what you can do with chat GPT so it's extremely powerful really could change your life in many different ways let's get started with how to actually use it so the first thing we want to do is create an account with chat GPT so open up whatever browser you like and go to chat.openai.com I'll put a link in the description so you guys can copy that as well and you'll see a page that looks something like this we're going to click on sign up and from here we can either sign up with our email address or with a Google account or a Microsoft account I'm just going to enter an email address we're going to say tutorials at sandtrailmedia.com and then we're going to create a password and then you have to verify your email so just open up your email click on the little verify email button and that should open up in a new tab and say you're ready to go and email's been verified so we can come over here and we can refresh this and now it's going to ask us a little bit of information about ourselves it's really not much just our name I think it's going to ask for our phone number as well so I'm going to say Mike and then it brings you to chatgpt now chat GPT is free to use right now it's sort of a free research preview is what they're calling it is still pretty early on but you can do a lot with this of course and so they have some little disclaimers here there are safeguards but they're saying basically it's not perfect you might have some information that's either not correct because this hasn't actually been connected to the internet it's not it hasn't been trained since 2021 so some things might be outdated additionally it tries to not say anything offensive or biased but it's saying right here it's still early on and that may happen so we say next uh as far as collecting data this is designed to really optimize it that's why they give it out for free right now in the research mode because they really want to review these conversations and improve the software from there so again a little disclaimer and if you want to give feedback they have ways to do that I'll show you throughout this video okay so here's the interface starting off on the bottom left you can log out you can see updates and frequently asked questions we can toggle to dark mode or light mode I actually like dark mode a little better so I think we'll keep that for this video we can upgrade to plus which I believe just kind of prioritizes you so you don't have to wait as long for the software to run and there's a couple other little benefits like that and of course we can go to a new chat so you can have multiple different simultaneous chat threads the reason that you might want to do that is be because Chad GPT is sort of like a person in that it remembers what you said last it's not like Google it doesn't really remember what you just said so I can ask a question I could say um what time is it it'll tell me that and I'll say yeah but tell me that in 24 hour time and it'll do that it'll remember what I asked before as well as what it said and so it's kind of running with the same thread and if you want to have a totally different conversation if you want to work on something completely different a new chat would sometimes make the most sense now everything in the middle will disappear after your first command but just a quick overview here the first one we've got some examples there I'll give you plenty in this video the second one we have capabilities third one we have limitations now the limitations let's start off there as I mentioned before it could possibly have incorrect information this is optimized to be a real language model it wants to sound accurate it wants to sound convincing like a real person but it doesn't mean everything's factually uh you know validated right it is possible it's possible that you'll get wrong information it's not super common common but it can happen of course and this hasn't actually been connected to the internet and it hasn't been trained since 2021 so could be a little bit outdated on some things but for the vast majority of stuff you ask it to do it really works just fine I haven't found these limitations uh to be especially big at drawbacks but something you want to know don't ask you what the weather is because it doesn't have internet connection capabilities it is you know it doesn't want to do inappropriate requests it's not going to write like mean hateful things to somebody uh of course it is also it remembers what you said in the chat as I mentioned before and it allows you to provide follow-up feedback so let's go through these 10 different commands I mentioned the first one the most basic one is just a simple question similar to what you'd ask on Google you can ask for a definition of something you could ask who somebody was ask about different things there's a basic one-line question that you might expect and this is going to give you an informational answer as if you were using it like a search engine so I could say for example uh what does what does sagacious mean what does sagacious mean it's going to give me a definition and you'll also notice once it does this first of all it says stop generating that's a button you could click if it's running on too long giving you a really long thing and just kind of wasting your time or maybe you realize you typed the wrong word and you didn't finish typing it you can say stop of course down here we also have the regenerate response after it's done if you see and you think you know what I really don't like that it doesn't really make sense for this but later on the video when we talk about write an email for me or something like that you could say I don't really like how this looks and just regenerate response and it will do that for you once again that option pops up down here again to stop generating but talking about some other things in the interface you'll see on the left side it automatically created a new chat and named the chat it said suggestions meaning sometimes it might say sagacious definition whatever it automatically gave it a name you can rename it if you want to or you could delete that going back over here you can give it a thumbs up and a thumbs down that'll be how you can give feedback to the actual chat bot here so if I say thumbs up I could say good job good or I could say accurate accurate and we can submit feedback in that way open eye open AI will know that that was a good answer of course as you have more responses generated on the left side we have a little toggle here that shows up when you hover over it and we can go back to the first response or the second response and again compare them doesn't make as much sense with something like this but later on in the video when you're having it generate different emails and documents and things like that you might want to see the different the different ones and actually compare for yourself of course on the left side the other thing that popped up was clear conversations if you want to just wipe everything clean and start fresh that is what you would do right there now you might wonder why would you want to clear conversations I mentioned before it remembers what you said and this is a great time to show an example of that so it just it explained what a word means now if this was Google and I wanted to get an essentially a synonym for that I would have to say sagacious synonym but here I could just say now give me a synonym and it knows that we're talking about sagacious it remembers what we're talking about and it can give synonyms right here we can say use it in a sentence next that's going to be another example you can really ask all types of different things and you can really make the questions even more detailed than that so we could say um now use it in uh 10 sentences right we can give an example we can tell it what to do and it's going to give us 10 different example sentences right here you could do 15 you can do 5 whatever you want and again super useful super powerful something that you don't see otherwise on a search engine like Google Now speaking of lists that brings me into the second main type of command you can use with this one which is to generate lists you can ask it to generate lists of ideas maybe this is going to be a list of themes for party ideas or a list of hobbies a list of Life purposes a list of business ideas you can do whatever you want and so let's go with an example right here so let's go and create a new chat for this one because we're talking about something different and let's say I want to find a new hobby so we could say create create a list of hobbies create a list of hobbies it'll give me a list of hobbies but really again what's cool about this is this might be a surface level inquiry we could just say give me some hobbies and on Google you're likely to find some blog that gives you something like this but really the advantage of chat GPT is you can tailor this list and get a custom response just for you so let's stop gen oh I didn't mean to regenerate let's stop generating that and I could say instead how about generate a list of 10 fun and very unique outdoor hobbies for an American couple in their mid-20s that most people never heard of which is extremely specific you wouldn't find that on Google and with this if we hit enter we're probably going to find things that I think really answer that well so let's see what it comes up so let's see the responses here disc golf parkour uh paddle boarding kiteboarding canineering ax throwing yeah I think it pretty much did exactly what I was asking it to do and this again is something that if you searched on Google you'd really have to hope that somebody made a Blog and answered that for you so you're getting really custom responses here and really the big point of me showing you you this right here is to explain how to get better more tailored responses for your needs so rather than just asking give me a list of hobbies and kind of asking again and again you want to add as many details in there as possible so first of all describe what you're looking for so I'm looking for a list of 10 fun and unique outdoor Hobbies right and then describe who you are like what you actually want so what it's for it's going to be for American couples in their mid-20s and we're looking for things that most people never heard of the more information you give it the more accurate your output is going to be obviously up to a certain limit but it doesn't actually matter if you have perfect grammar this could be a run-on sentence you could have different problems in there but the more information you give it generally the better number three on this list are long written prompts for emails essays music poetry legal documents anything like that and so we can go with an example right here and we can ask it to maybe write an email or how about this one let's just say write a YouTube comment from my perspective so you about Michael Brian YouTube video explaining how to use chat GPT so we're going to hit enter there and see what it writes it's probably going to write something that is approximately the right length so you can ask it to write a tweet write an essay write an email write a comment and generally it does a good job from my experience of writing the appropriate link so if you guys want if you're following along you could do the same thing and paste your comment below and uh I don't know whichever comments are the best I'll put a heart next to them but you can ask it to make a funny comment you can ask it to make whatever but go ahead and do that and leave that comment down below now on a more practical note maybe we wanted to write a template for like a legal document maybe something that for example a lease if you are a landlord you want a tenant like instead of going to LegalZoom or instead of finding some arbitrary uh like template online you can essentially make it or have it make the template for you so I already kind of pre-wrote this we can ask it to write a 12-month lease and once again you want to add as much detail as possible so 12 month lease this is the start date we want the tenant name in there the address in there the price of the deposit other things in there and you can also add all types of weird things that are going to be integrated smoothly in there rather than you going in afterwards and just kind of shoehorning it in so we can have it for example say that they have to always keep a pickle in their mailbox something weird like that and we'll hit enter and see what it comes up with now of course as always this is not legal advice I wouldn't just run with this and hope that it's a sound legal document you really want to make sure that you're Consulting with an attorney but using this as a template using this as a springboard can really save you a lot of time and a lot of effort okay so a relatively short lease agreement but it does cover pretty much everything I was asking it to uh right there but we can ask it maybe to make it a little bit longer wow okay so that took a pretty long time but you can see this is definitely a lot longer it's definitely a little bit more fleshed out like we said and you could copy and paste this into a Word document and kind of build off of that uh and make your own lease agreement kind of with this framework but of course it's not perfect like I said always consult your attorney always do all that stuff but uh you know it's a good springboard you can go with now other options like I said when you're actually asking us to write stuff there's a lot of different things from emails to essays to music to poetry a lot of different things so let's talk about if you wanted to write an email some other tips I have would be to give it more descriptions of how you wanted to write the Style and what you wanted to write do you want it to be inspirational do you want it to be friendly do you want it to be bold and aggressive and then of course another really nice thing that I like to do is ask it to incorporate a quote from somebody that you think would be pretty relevant it does a really good job from my experience of finding relevant quotes from figures so for example we can go with something really crazy and say that let's have it write a motivating email with the quote from Nelson Mandela explaining that all employees in the company will get a 20 pay cut while the top Executives get a larger Christmas bonus make it really impo inspiring and positive like let's just let's see what it does something like that but okay so here it says it can't do that I'm gonna go and create a new chat because I think it can do this I had to do this exact prompt earlier and it was able to do that so let's see what here we go it's doing it right here in a new chat uh for some reason it didn't like it when we were talking about Hobbies but in this new one let's see what it comes up with so dear valued customers I hope this email finds you well I want to take a moment to share some exciting news with you as we approach the holiday season we want to share appreciation uh Hardware blah blah um okay so it does a pretty good job right there Nelson Mandela once said the greatest glory in living lies not in Never Falling but in Rising every time we fall so that's a good quote to add in there I think like they did a good job of like wow another Nelson Mandela quote they really went above and beyond here were two Nelson Mandela quotes so you can see uh made it inspiring and it really sugar coated some like really bad and aggressive news about giving Executives higher bonuses at the expense of employees so that that's kind of an example there first of all of some of the limitations that you do have uh with chat GPT it's not always perfectly consistent and it will say like hey this is not a good thing like we we would not write an unethical or unprofessional email but then right here it had no problem doing exactly that and it named it pay cut and bonus okay so you spend a little bit of time on that last one that's really a big portion of what I've been using chat GPT for uh to write different things and kind of just use it as a template use it as a springboard to make emails and documents and things like that moving on to number four though kind of tied in with essays this would be to answer questions that are a little bit more complex for example if you have a difficult physics homework problem right here I have I copied this from an MIT quantum physics exam and we can hit enter now again it's not always factually accurate but it does a pretty good job from my experience of answering questions within the question doing some math and really giving for the most part some pretty accurate answers it doesn't like a good job at least for getting you started much like you'd see from like Chegg or you know core or something like that wow it's really going hard here it just started Part B all right so there's a very lengthy and detailed answer to that question it's been a while since I took Quantum and I'm not about to verify if this is correct if you guys want to verify for me let me know if that looks right but it can do things like that different math problems and of course one thing to note is if you are doing numerical things that are really based on multi-digit like a lot of rounding this does have you know really substantial roundoff error from my experience especially if it's doing more complex problems so always verify the numbers and do it for yourself just to make sure you don't have any kind of error like that moving on to the next one this is actually feedback prompts you can give it something and ask for a feedback so I could for example I just copy and pasted an essay from like way back when I was in college took this dance class and had to like write an essay about it we can say critique this essay I'm going to copy and paste that so critique this essay and out of a colon and I pasted the entire essay it'll read the essay and it'll tell me what it thinks about the essay so it kind of gives you a little bit of summary it makes you feel good it says oh it's well written it was not well written I promise but it'll give you some other things it'll say for example where is it here we go here a couple of areas of improvement it could be clear more structure and organized it could have more personal experience it gives me some examples which is also really nice of what I could add to that and overall it tells me effective essay but you could add a couple things and it could be a little bit better so that is something you could do if you already wrote an essay and you want this to criticize your essay and make you a little bit better you could do this with emails as well you write an email and put it in here and say critique this email it'll tell you you're a little bit bold you're a little bit friendly whatever I I think it's kind of nice just to kind of bounce ideas off of something else moving on to number six these are modification prompts so rather than criticizing an essay you could give it something and ask it to translate to another language you can ask it to lengthen something you can ask it to paraphrase something by shortening it or of course you could ask it you could give it something and say reword this so that it is not plagiarized and not that I would ever recommend doing that write your own work of course but it's something that it's really powerful and interesting that you're able to do that if you have your own work and you want to reword it a little bit differently you could just give it something and say reword this so all of those I think are really powerful and interesting and of course to do any of those it's really pretty self-explanatory really all you say is uh reword this and then put a colon and just like paste the whole thing or you could say translate this from English to Spanish put a colon paste the whole thing paraphrase uh whatever you want to do lengthen this is another one that you can really add and so for example if I wanted to lengthen my essay or we could say paraphrase because they now paraphrase that assay and so it's going to be uh it's going to take the entire essay and kind of boil it down into some sad little pathetic thing about me and that that required dance class I took senior year of college and we can ask you to do it even more it's a very long sentence that's a very long sentence so that that's a bit of a run-on sentence I'd give you that one there now we could say now please translate now we can translate that response to Spanish and it's going to translate the paraphrase of the paraphrase to Spanish so it really I don't know I think that's pretty cool something that you can do maybe spark some ideas and and maybe you'll find a use for this now the next one are actually guided prompts so this is something that could be like a step by step you could say how do I make a certain recipe would be a good example you could say how do I use certain software how do I build something so we could say like how to how to format a Word document in ml in MLA something like that and it'll tell us how to do that it'll give us some guidelines so tell us the first thing to do second thing to do double spacing margins one inch blah blah all that stuff like that and so it's really useful to have like a nice list that it gives you in you know right here you can ask it how to do it exactly and another example right here this is one that I've actually used quite a bit when you have like some ingredients in your fridge but you didn't go grocery shopping for the week yet then you can just tell it what you have and ask for some different dinner ideas so if I just say I've got onions tomatoes garlic beef spaghetti squash and other ingredients like kind of generic other ingredients what can I make so that way we're not restricting to just this I'm okay with getting like one or two ingredients but I don't want to buy everything for dinner we could say what can we make with this I'll hit enter and it can give me some different ideas as well as a full recipe on how to actually make that dinner now number eight is very similar to number seven we're starting to chat for this one and this is rather than modifying text it's actually extracting data from text so if I just say like I have a big paragraph or something I found like an article and I just wanted to extract the data for me and give me the answer very very quickly I could say based on based on this Wikipedia when was the first Model T made and then paste the article right there and it should be able to read the whole thing and tell me the first Model T was made on October 1st 1908 which is exactly what we're seeing in there again really cool but we could actually do even more than that and now say now save that as a now output that as a python variable now we can do even more than that say now I'll put that as a python variable right there so it's cool it's going to be really useful to do something like that if you have a lot of data or a really long paragraph and you just want to like you're doing some code you want to get things quickly that's a cool easy way to actually go about doing that and extract data from a larger data set that's kind of a more unique situation not everyone's going to be using number eight here but speaking of code that brings me into the next one number nine is the ability to actually write code with chat GPT this is really powerful it does really I mean from my experience it does a great job and we can have it do all types of different things so for one let's go with this example right here that I already wrote down this knows like for example if we want to use Python we can ask it to maybe open documents like Word documents convert them to a PDF and then save them to a subfolder within that parent folder so if I just go and say write a python script to open document files convert them to a PDF and then save them in the subfolder named Mike is cool of course within the parent folder and then do that so the more information you give it the more there's going to be any actual code at the end otherwise it will have like for example I didn't say what the the parent folder was called and so it's going to have little quotes there and I'll have to go and actually input that later myself but it does like it really does all the back work for you so right here you can see where it says users users documents that's the folder path that I will actually have to do but it does a good job of commenting out what you actually have to do so right there set the path folder right so that's we're gonna have to do uh it tells me what it did it Loops through so I don't have to change that it created the folder I didn't have to do anything with that and so all we have to do here is copy and paste this into python uh add you know the file path right there and then run it and it should be able to do exactly what we wanted to do it's going to open Word documents it's going to convert them to PDFs it's going to save them to a subfolder and that's really cool it's going to Loop through that so if you have like 500 Word documents and you don't know python at all but you want something that automatically does it for you you could have this write that little script right there run it on page python you just saved yourself whatever time it takes to convert 500 Word Documents To PDFs I assume that would take hours right I mean unless you did it like this it takes seconds or minutes like this okay so let's open a new chat now if you don't use Python there's a lot of different languages you can use basically anything you go to stack Overflow for in many situations you could just ask it on here it can also debug code as well so if you input your code and you say like what's wrong with this it can usually do some debugging for you of course it's not perfect longer more complicated code can be even more difficult but for basic things it is really cool of course we can also say we can ask it to run things for us so for example if we say write a python script calculated all prime numbers under 100 that's something that again if you if you don't know how to use Python if you don't want to go and actually run the actual code you can ask it to do things for you right here and so it's going to write the code for us then we're going to copy the code and we're going to ask it to actually run that code for us so let's give it one second there we go so we can copy the code we can oh actually it's going to do it right now I already did that okay it doesn't always do that sometimes you have to go and say run the python code and then you paste it but it looks like it already did it for us okay and then lastly number 10 before I get into two little bonuses on how to modify uh your actual request here number 10 is actually just using this as a conversational bot this is great for mental health or just you know if you want to talk to somebody it's really nice to have that you can also ask it all types of different questions you could say like it's good to bounce ideas off this you could just say like I'm thinking about working out I'm thinking but I hurt my bicep what workout what would you write something like that so I can give you some advice which is useful so it's going to tell me other muscle groups I can use again kind of cool just to talk to this and of course as I mentioned this could be really powerful for anybody who's in a dark place and needs help with their mental health uh some people I know it's like intimidating to go and find a therapist or something and so while this is no replacement for therapy it could be a good start that could really help people get out of a really dark area now there are two things that can modify how you get responses that I wanted to point out the first one if I ask something like explain String Theory it's it's a very complicated concept so you're going to be getting a pretty complicated answer down here now I could say instead now explain it to me because they now explain to me like I'm five years old and it can give me the response again uh but in more basic terms so you can ask it to re-answer it but add another modifier on there and say it do it like this do it as if I'm five years old do it as if I were this person uh and do things like slightly differently so you can say like here you can see a much simpler much more uh fundamental and basic example or explanation of what that is and then the second way you can modify things is kind of similar but going back to that writing thing I was talking about before when you're writing emails writing essays writing whatever paragraphs not only can you add quotes in there you can tell it what style to write in so rather than just writing in a generic style you can say write things as if you were like Quentin Tarantino for example so if I wanted to write a tweet I'm actually just I already wrote this down write a tweet about iPhones but do it like you are Quentin Tarantino and you're dehydrated in a desert so we'll hit enter and see what it actually comes up with um you know this is QT and I'm dehydrated okay so this is that's yeah so there you go so that's that's basically a tweet right there from Quentin Tarantino let's see what else they can do do it again um and lost in the desert part all right so let's do this again uh one last time I could do this all day long this is just like this is what I do I love just like having chat GPT do these like ridiculous like tweets and stuff like that sometimes I'll share them on Twitter you can follow me and you'll see these every now and then um but okay so those are the 10 different command styles with chat GPT hopefully you found this video very helpful and informational so that you can now start using chat GPT now you set up your account and really get a lot done whether that's for business whether that's creative whether that is personal Hobbies just ideas talking to it as if it were a friend or things around the house like making different dinners if you enjoyed this video consider liking and subscribing I'm Michael Bryan with sand Trail media thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
