Better answers from AI by prompting it correctly

In today's world of AI engines, it's crucial to understand what you should keep in mind right from the beginning before diving into the world of natural language processing (NPL), GPT, or other AI engines. It all starts with mastering the art of formulating queries to AI so that you can obtain the precise answers you seek. This practice is commonly referred to as "Prompt Engineering." While ChatGPT often categorizes prompts into three types (zero-shot, one-shot, and few-shot), these terms may not be the most intuitive for everyone. Therefore, I'd like to share some insights based on my research, with a primary focus on ChatGPT, given its widespread popularity. Here are some types of prompts you may consider using: Open-ended: These prompts are not specific and encourage creative responses. Closed-ended: These prompts are specific and limit the response to a defined scope, providing guided choices. Multi-part: Use these prompts when you want the AI to answer multiple questions or delve deeper into complex issues. Scenario-based: When you need specific examples to explore a concept, these prompts are useful. Opinion-based: For critical thinking, you can ask the user to specify their opinion. For the most effective results from your AI queries, I recommend taking a look at the detailed document I've posted, which provides in-depth information on these prompt types. Your understanding of prompt engineering can make a significant difference in the quality of answers you receive.

·?????? How can AI help me make better decisions at work

Closed-Ended:

·?????? Which ocean borders the east coast of the United States?
