Examples of effective and ineffective ChatGPT prompts:

In this lesson, we'll look at examples of both good and not-so-good prompts to understand what
makes a prompt effective and what doesn't.

By the end of this lesson, you'll be equipped with the tools to craft clear, concise, and targeted
prompts that will help you have successful and engaging ChatGPT conversations.

So, let's dive right in and explore the principles of crafting effective ChatGPT prompts!

As we discussed in previous lessons, the quality of the prompts used in a ChatGPT conversation
can significantly impact the success of the conversation.

Effective prompts can help to ensure that the conversation stays on track and covers the topics of
interest to the user.

To better understand the principles of crafting effective ChatGPT prompts, let's take a closer look at
good and not-so-good prompts to understand how to create effective ones for ChatGPT
conversations.

Effective ChatGPT prompts:

• "Can you provide a summary of the main points from the article 'The Benefits of
Exercise'?" - This prompt is focused and relevant, making it easy for the ChatGPT to provide
the requested information.

• "What are the best restaurants in Paris that serve vegetarian food?" - This prompt is
specific and relevant, allowing the ChatGPT to provide a targeted and useful response.

• "Can you recommend a good book on artificial intelligence for beginners?" - This prompt is
clear and specific, making it easy for the ChatGPT to provide a targeted and useful
response.

• "What are the latest trends in mobile app development?" - This prompt is focused and
relevant, allowing the ChatGPT to provide the requested information.

• "Can you give me some tips on how to improve my website's SEO?" - This prompt is
specific and relevant, making it easy for the ChatGPT to provide a targeted and useful
response.

• "Can you help me find a good recipe for gluten-free lasagna?" - This prompt is clear and
specific, allowing the ChatGPT to provide a useful response.

• "What are the key features of the new iPhone?" - This prompt is focused and relevant,
making it easy for the ChatGPT to provide the requested information.

Ineffective ChatGPT prompts:

• "What can you tell me about the world?" - This prompt is overly broad and open-ended,
making it difficult for the ChatGPT to generate a focused or useful response.

• "Can you help me with my homework?" - While this prompt is clear and specific, it is too
open-ended to allow the ChatGPT to generate a useful response. A more effective prompt
would specify the specific topic or task at hand.
• "How are you?" - While this is a common conversation starter, it is not a well-defined
prompt and does not provide a clear purpose or focus for the conversation.

• "Tell me everything you know about technology." - This prompt is too broad and open-
ended, making it difficult for the ChatGPT to generate a focused or useful response.

• "Can you write me a story?" - While this prompt is clear, it is too open-ended to allow the
ChatGPT to generate a useful response. A more effective prompt would specify the type of
story or topic.

• "What's up?" - While this is a common conversation starter, it is not a well-defined prompt
and does not provide a clear purpose or focus for the conversation.

• "Can you tell me something interesting?" - This prompt is too broad and open-ended,
making it difficult for the ChatGPT to generate a focused or useful response.

• "Can you explain the meaning of life?" - This prompt is overly broad and open-ended,
making it difficult for the ChatGPT to generate a focused or useful response.

By comparing these examples, you can get a sense of the principles of crafting effective ChatGPT
prompts.

In the following chapters, we'll delve into these principles in more detail and explore specific
techniques for crafting clear and concise prompts.
