Three years ago, ChatGPT changed the world when it launched its artificial intelligence (AI) chat interface, and now anyone can ask it to create blogs, analyze their emotions or diagnose their rashes. It has been seen as a technology that could displace Google and replace entire generations of jobs.
But that’s not what happened. AI blogs, though great, still always sound like AI wrote them. Having AI analyze your emotions hasn’t replaced the value of a therapist. And while it can analyze your rash, you still need a doctor to prescribe the treatment.
The function of ChatGPT is positioned better as a high-quality intern, someone you can use to get a task off the ground, but you still need an intelligent manager to clean up the work and finish the project. No one should feel comfortable letting AI handle complete parts of their business just yet, but with a few tips and tricks, you can get AI to produce a higher-quality output every time.
There is a concept called “prompt engineering.” It means “the occupation or activity of writing instructions for an artificial intelligence program or tool to determine or influence the content that it creates.” Basically, the concept suggests that if you can design and write the “best prompt,” then you can get the “best output.”
