Making high-quality prompts

Today, October 5, let's talk about 'prompts'.

Did you know that using effective prompts can make the difference between getting mediocre answers and getting impressive results with AI?

In the field of artificial intelligence, prompts are instructions or requests provided to the AI to guide its coherent and relevant generation of text or images.

The main function of a prompt is to get the AI model to provide an answer to a specific task or question posed. We must state what we want, as clearly and concisely as possible. Don’t forget that AI models have no prior knowledge of the world. By constructing quality prompts, the AI’s ability to understand and respond to our requests effectively is enhanced.

Here are some tips on how to achieve effective, quality prompts:

? Be clear and concise: Use clear and direct language in your prompts. Avoid ambiguity or confusing instructions.

?Provide a clear context: To help the AI understand the context of the request, it is useful to provide information about “who” and “what”. In other words, define the person making the request, thus narrowing the scope of action, and explain very well exactly what we want to generate. For example, if we need to write an email reply to a client, we will indicate: who we are, who our client is, the type of email, the reason for the communication and what the content of the email would be.

? Use detailed instructions: Be as detailed as possible in your instructions. The more specific the prompt, the more likely the AI will generate the desired results. To generate a text, it is convenient to indicate: tone, style, type of language, length, keywords, format… If we need an image, we will indicate: the range of colours, textures, details, background, style, light, perspective…

? Ask direct questions: In case you need a specific answer or precise information, ask direct questions in your prompts. This will help guide the AI to the type of answer you are looking for. For example, if we want to translate a text from one language to another.

? Use natural language: It is better to use a natural language that is close to the language we use in our daily lives, avoiding overly technical or complex instructions. Using human language, even if we are not addressing a human, will make the AI understand us much better and offer us a better response.

? Test and experiment: It is very likely that with a first prompt we will not get the result we need. In many cases, we will have to adjust and modify the prompt several times until it works. The key is to test and experiment. Being creative will help us to improve our prompts significantly.
