Split this writing practice into different answers (don&#8217;t give me the whole lesson in one go).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"helpful-phrases\">Helpful phrases for your prompts<\/h3>\n<p>The following phrases can help you to build up more specific prompts to get the best possible answers to your questions. Think of them as building blocks that can be combined however you like to meet your purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Act like my ____.<\/li>\n<li>Be my ____.<\/li>\n<li>I am ____.<\/li>\n<li>I need ____.<\/li>\n<li>I need help with ____.<\/li>\n<li>My goal is to ____.<\/li>\n<li>Do ____.<\/li>\n<li>Give me ____.<\/li>\n<li>Generate ____.<\/li>\n<li>I will do ____, and you will do ____.<\/li>\n<li>Answer in the following format: ____.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid phrases like &#8220;____.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>I just want you to ask me questions.<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t want you to ask me any questions.<\/li>\n<li>Your answer should be no longer than ____ words.<\/li>\n<li>Ask me a follow-up question at the end of each response.<\/li>\n<li>Keep asking me questions until you have all the information you need.<\/li>\n<li>Answer in three sentences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"avoid-bias\">Avoid bias<\/h2>\n<p>Bias is a distortion in someone&#8217;s (or something&#8217;s) thinking or behavior. Bias occurs due to people&#8217;s preferences, prejudices, and stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>Responses from AI tools like ChatGPT can also be biased. This is sometimes simply a result of biases in the tool&#8217;s training data, which you can&#8217;t directly do anything about.<\/p>\n<p>But it can also result from how you phrase your prompts. ChatGPT is designed to give you the answers you want, so if you ask a question in a leading way, it will give you the kind of response you implicitly asked for, producing a biased answer.<\/p>\n<h6>Example: Prompt with bias<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"chatgpt\">\n<li class=\"gpt-user\">Explain in three sentences why organic food is clearly overrated and offers no advantages over conventional food.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-answer\">Organic food is often marketed as healthier and more nutritious than conventional food, but scientific evidence shows no consistent or significant differences in nutritional content. The use of organic farming methods, such as avoiding synthetic pesticides, can lead to lower crop yields and higher production costs, making organic food more expensive for consumers without clear benefits. Ultimately, consumers should make choices based on personal preferences and values rather than assuming that organic food is inherently superior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using a prompt like this is not likely to result in a balanced view of the issue. ChatGPT obviously only mentions the downsides of organic food, since that&#8217;s what you asked for. This runs the risk of <a href=index-3747.html>confirmation bias<\/a> (where you only look for information that confirms your beliefs).<\/p>\n<p>An unbiased version of the same prompt, in which we ask about both sides of the issue, is shown below.<\/p>\n<h6>Example: Prompt without bias<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"chatgpt\">\n<li class=\"gpt-user\">In a paragraph, summarize the pros and cons of consuming organic food instead of conventional food.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-answer\">Consuming organic food offers several pros and cons compared to conventional food. On the positive side, organic food is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or synthetic fertilizers. This makes it a healthier option, as it reduces the potential exposure to harmful chemicals and promotes environmental sustainability. Organic farming practices also prioritize soil and water conservation, biodiversity preservation, and animal welfare. However, organic food can be more expensive and may have a shorter shelf life due to the absence of certain preservatives. Additionally, the yield per acre in organic farming is generally lower, leading to higher production costs and potentially limited availability. Critics argue that the nutritional differences between organic and conventional food are minimal and not significant enough to justify the higher price. Overall, the decision to consume organic food depends on personal values, health considerations, and affordability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"test-improve\">Test and improve your prompts<\/h2>\n<p>ChatGPT won&#8217;t always give you exactly what you want on the first try. For the best results, test your prompts several times and try to improve them step by step. You can follow up on answers in the same chat, or start again with a reworked prompt in a new chat.<\/p>\n<h6>Example: Following up on answers<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"chatgpt\">\n<li class=\"gpt-user\">Give me some examples of riddles.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-answer\">Sure! Here are a few examples of riddles for you:\n<ol>\n<li>I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I? Answer: An echo.<\/li>\n<li>What has keys but can&#8217;t open locks? Answer: A piano.<\/li>\n<li>[&#8230;]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-user\">Please give me another riddle, but don&#8217;t tell me the answer. I will try to figure it out for myself, and you tell me if I&#8217;m right.<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-answer\">Of course! Here&#8217;s a riddle for you:I have keys but no locks. I have space but no room. You can enter but can&#8217;t go outside. What am I?\n<p>Feel free to take your time and think about it. Once you&#8217;re ready, let me know your answer, and I&#8217;ll let you know if you&#8217;re correct!<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-user\">A keyboard<\/li>\n<li class=\"gpt-answer\">Great guess! The answer is indeed a keyboard. Well done!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While improving your prompts, bear in mind the tips from the previous sections: be precise, give sufficient context, and avoid bias.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"other\">Other interesting articles<\/h2>\n<p>If you want more tips on <a href=index-3668.html>using AI tools<\/a>, <a href=index-1154.html>understanding plagiarism<\/a>, and <a href=index-1775.html>citing sources<\/a>, make sure to check out some of our other articles with explanations, examples, and formats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md\" style=\"background-color: #e8f2fc; padding: 1.27rem 1.56rem; line-height: 1.8; border-radius: .5rem; margin-right: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem;\">\n<p><strong><em class=\"fa fa-laptop\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/em>Using AI tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding: 5px;\">\n<li><a href=index-3670.html>Citing ChatGPT<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3748.html>Best grammar checker<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3749.html>Best paraphrasing tool<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3672.html>ChatGPT in your studies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3671.html>Is ChatGPT trustworthy?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\" style=\"background-color: #e8f2fc; padding: 1.27rem 1.56rem; line-height: 1.8; border-radius: .5rem; margin-right: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem;\">\n<p><strong><em class=\"fa fa-university\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/em> Plagiarism<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding: 5px;\">\n<li><a href=index-1837.html>Types of plagiarism<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-1838.html>Self-plagiarism<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-1792.html>Avoiding plagiarism<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-1840.html>Academic integrity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-1835.html>Best plagiarism checker<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\" style=\"background-color: #e8f2fc; padding: 1.27rem 1.56rem; line-height: 1.8; border-radius: .5rem; margin-right: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0.5rem;\">\n<p><strong><em class=\"fa fa-book\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/em> Citing sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding: 5px;\">\n<li><a href=index-1052.html>Citation styles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3579.html>In-text citation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3348.html>Footnotes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-3707.html>Citation examples<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index-1755.html>Annotated bibliography<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <h2>Frequently asked questions about ChatGPT prompts<\/h2>\n<dl class=\"faq-list faq-list--arrows w-100 my-5\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n            <div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n            <dt id=\"what-are-chatgpt-prompts\" class=\"faq-list__title\">\n                <a href=index-3750.html class=\"faq-list__link qa-faq-anchor\">\n                    <span itemprop=\"name\">\n                        What are ChatGPT prompts?\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/dt>\n            <dd id=\"what-are-chatgpt-prompts-answer\" class=\"faq-list__answer qa-faq-answer kb-article-styles\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n                <div itemprop=\"text\">\n                                        <p><a href=index-3751.html data-wpel-link=\"internal\">ChatGPT prompts<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>are the textual inputs (e.g., questions, instructions) that you enter into ChatGPT to get responses.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT predicts an appropriate response to the prompt you entered.
