These 5 Habits are Killing Your ChatGPT Results

if you're new to chat gbt these five habits are more than likely the reason behind your mediocre results and poor writing but since AI is coming for all our jobs it's probably in your best interest to become an AI wizard in as little time as possible I suffered from all five of these habits but once I fixed them my writing massively improved and I became so much better with Jazzy BT it's easy to fix them let me show you how habit number one is using simple straightforward prompts now normally it's a good idea to keep things simple but not with Chachi BT this is an easy mistake to make because almost everyone's first prompts they try they come out way too straightforward and their results are very disappointing if you want to get good results chat GPT needs clear precise props for example instead of asking can you write an essay on Hamlet for me ask instead can you write an essay on how Hamlet's Madness affects his actions and relationships the more specific you are in fleshing out what exactly you want it to do for you and what you want it to cover the better the outputs are going to be to avoid overly simplistic prompts spell out exactly what you want from chat gbt you can list out step by step exactly what you want it to do and you can add this to your prompt to get better results so ask it to be concise or wordy or detailed or you can ask it to be specific or give examples you can give it some ideas for what examples you want to include or let it run with it you also want to tell it what format you want it to Output so whether you want it to be an essay a blog post a tweet an outline letting it know exactly what you want is the best way to get what you want also hot tip the gpt4 version of chat EBT is a much better writer than the default 3.5 so always use gbt4 when given the choice right now it does cost 20 a month to access the version of chat EBT with gpt4 but in my opinion it is definitely worth it because if you look at any comparisons it just outputs my much more creative much more interesting pieces of writing than 3.5 is capable of habit number two is not checking for lies now chat GPT lies often and it lies well it is very confident in anything it says and it will not tell you I don't know it will just make something up instead it will frequently make up a plausible sounding answer and present it to you confidently so it's not obvious that it is a lie so this is why you have to check always because ultimately you are responsible for anything this robot spits out if you are using anything it writes in your schoolwork in your job or in personal projects as a rule of thumb anything it says could be a lie so you do want to double check facts but it is particularly likely to lie or be incorrect if you are asking it to do anything with math or numbers or if you are asking for links and references chatgpt is not at the moment connected to the internet so it can't actually look things up so if you ask it for a link link to a web page or the name of a specific scientific paper more often than not it's gonna make that up habit number three is using the wrong AI for the task now I know this is a chat GPT video but it is not the only tool out there and in fact there's a few things that it's not very good at and you should use something else for now Chachi PD is specifically a bad choice if you need it to reference the web reference recent events provide links or reference specific things like quotes or papers and if you need an AI to do any of these things it's best to use Bing because Bing is connected to the internet Now Bing runs on gpt4 it is free so that does give you access as well to the better writing version of GPT so it's good for that too and an added bonus is being references the things it looks up and you can click the links and fact check it right away because it provides the links now there is one caveat in that Chachi PT should be able to do this better soon because because with the release of plugins there is a web browser plugin that's going to give it the ability to connect the internet and perform searches before it answers you but for right now the plug-in feature is very limited I don't have access yet I have requested access a week or two ago and I still don't have it but for now Bing is the tool you want to go with so let me show you an example of where tragibut is bad at this so for example I've asked Chachi PD to find five scientific papers that explain how sugar and obesity rates are related tell me the main points so I go down and it gives me five different papers and gives me the main points of each one and I've paused this and gone and actually searched to see if these are actual real papers and surprisingly for this search it actually did pretty good the first four of these I searched the name of the paper and did find that that paper existed in that journal by those authors the fifth one I could not find so I don't know maybe my Googling skills are not up to par but as far as I can tell this is not an actual paper written by this guy published in this journal in this year so it is not completely accurate I do think this is going to get better as new versions of chat gbt roll out but for now there are better tools to use so if I go and take this same thing and pop it into Bing it's going to give me a similar output but it's also going to give me the direct links to any of the papers it references so I don't even have to go you know copy paste titles into Google and see if I can find them it'll give me the direct links so let's pull up Bing here and see what happens let's pop in that same question and see what it comes up with so this is what being spit out it gives me one two three four five different papers and tells me the main points but you can see it references them so I can click each one and go and double check that that's actually the paper it says it is this makes it a lot faster and a lot easier to double check habit number four is engaging in one-way discussions only now the first thing most people do when they play with an AI for the first time is they use it like they would use Google so they'll put in a simple question like look up my name or who was the first president or something like that and obviously looking at my name is not going to work because it's not connected to the internet but questions like who was the first president yeah child GPD can't answer that but the results are boring and not too exciting and it's not really that impressive that it could figure something out like that when we've had Google for years and Google knows it too so more often than not you're going to be disappointed by any one and done style of prompting chatgpt actually works best with feedback where you have a two-way discussion where you go back and forth with the AI and that's because chat apt can learn from us it learns from your previous prompts and takes that into context whenever it is creating a new output so for that reason don't ignore or dismiss chat gbt's mistakes you want to point them out and ask it to correct itself and improve its writing so let me show you what that might look like so let's try write a one sentence poem about love love a Celestial dance of souls entwine Whispers eternity in the fleeting Embrace of a heart beats Psy okay maybe that's a bit flowery and I don't like it maybe I want it to be more light-hearted and fun so I can tell it to make those Corrections so this is too flowery write it again but this time make it more light-hearted and fun so love a playful Breeze that tickles the heart weaves laughter into life's color kaleidoscopic tapestry okay so I'm not super happy but again I can go back and forth and give it suggestions ask it to fix things and correct things and I'm gonna end up with something much closer to what I want something much more interesting than I would by you know just telling it what to do once and then leaving it at that habit number five is missing out on Advanced Techniques and what I mean by Advanced Techniques is giving chat dbd things like a specific role a voice a style or target audience now these are things most people don't think of when they're using tools like this for the first time but they're really simple simple to implement and they are going to 10x your output and give you much more interesting results by including them let me show you what I mean so the first and most powerful thing you can do is give chat EBT a role now depending on what you want it to do you can give it a role that matches so common rules you might want to get to play are a teacher a lawyer a doctor a literary editor depending on what you're asking of it so to give it a role you simply include in your prompt you are a role and then ask it to do whatever so you are a literary editor please read my essay and tell me how I can fix it and make the writing stronger and more persuasive you could ask it to write in a specific tone so if you're writing a blog post targeted towards moms you might want it to write in a friendly approachable manner instead of you're asking it to write you an essay for your economics course you might want it to be professional or serious you can of course assign it a tone see how that turns out and then ask that to rewrite it again in another tone and then compare hair and see which one works best for you you can also ask Chachi PD to write towards a specific target audience now this is really useful for me as an entrepreneur in that I can ask it to write towards my specific target audience of my business so if I am getting it to write sales copy for an app that is targeted towards kids then I can tell it to write this targeted towards kids or if I am writing a speech to present at a professional convention then I would tell it to Target it towards whatever that audience might be at the convention so the target audience for you might be professional students kids retirees busy moms or what have you you can also ask Chachi PD to write in the style of a well-known figure or writer so you could ask it to write in the style of Jane Austen or Ernest Hemingway or modern day people it doesn't have to be a famous writer it could be a public figure from now I could ask it to write in the style of Mr Beast I could ask it to write in the style of the New York Times or write it in the style of the academic journal Nature the last Advanced technique I find useful to include in my prompts is to ask it to write in a specific format some format examples are a persuasive article a tweet or an academic essay now all of these Advanced Techniques are really useful on their own but they're even more powerful if you combine them and you will get vastly different pieces of writing by tweaking and combining these into larger prompts that help us with our mistake number one and being too simple and straightforward by combining these Advanced Techniques you are being much more specific much more precise in what you're asking the robot to do so you're going to get way more interesting pieces of writing out of it keeping these common mistakes and habits in mind and being mindful to avoid doing them and to fix them in the ways that I've shown in this video is going to help you perform better than the vast majority of people using chat gbt and as I've heard it best you're not going to be replaced by AI you're going to be replaced by somebody else using AI so by getting good at using these tools now and by staying ahead of the curve you're positioning yourself to be valuable be useful and productive going into the future into this chaotic landscape that is coming barreling towards us because of amazing tools like Chachi BT and these other AIS but to help keep this top of mind I've put together a free pdf AI prompt cheat sheet which you can grab at the link in the description below I've included a bunch of prompt templates as well as examples so you know exactly what you're looking at and you can refer to that whenever you are using chat EBT or Bing or other AI tools this is super helpful and again you can grab that for free at the link in the description below so those are the five beginner mistakes and habits killing your results with chat gbt and if you fix them you're gonna be a Chad GPD wizard in no time hopefully you got something out of that that was useful if you are interested in learning more about crafting really good prompts check out this video over here that is all about how you can get the most out of Bing which is a good compliment to chatgpt because it does some things that chatgpd doesn't so I highly recommend checking that out but thank you so much for watching and I will
