Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned expert on Artificial Intelligence (AI) with over 7.4+ million amassed views of his AI columns. As a CIO/CTO seasoned executive and high-tech entrepreneur, he combines practical industry experience with deep academic research.
In today’s column, I am continuing my ongoing coverage of prompt engineering strategies and tactics that aid in getting the most out of using generative AI apps such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, Bard, Gemini, Claude , etc. The focus this time will be on assessing whether a prompt generator can do as good a job, worse of a job, or produce better prompts than a human can when composing prompts for generative AI.
All in all, the declared purpose is to reduce your efforts in composing prompts and alleviate any frustrations or exasperations while doing so. Just lackadaisically have AI do the heavy lifting that will presumably incorporate the best of prompt engineering precepts when devising a desired prompt since that’s something generative AI should presumably be data trained on.
Another reason that prompt generators are handy is that even if you know how to suitably write prompts, the prompt generator potentially provides an added edge. Maybe you’ve forgotten some of those trickery phrases that you can use to sweeten a prompt and make it more powerful. Perhaps you are tired of writing prompts and want to take a rest by having AI do the effort on your behalf.
“Welcome to the Metaprompt! This is a prompt engineering tool designed to solve the"blank page problem" and give you a starting point for iteration. All you need to do is enter your task, and optionally the names of the variables you'd like Claude to use in the template. Then you'll be able to run the prompt that comes out on any examples you like.”“The Metaprompt is designed for use with Claude 3 Opus. Generating prompts with other models may lead to worse results.
Some prompt generators will aid you instead on a multi-turn basis. Here’s how that works. You enter a description into the prompt generator about whatever topic, question, or matter that you want to discuss with generative AI. The prompt generator will generate an initiating prompt. This will be fed into the generative AI. In addition, the prompt generator stays in the loop and will generate additional prompts, dependent upon whatever the generative AI is responding with.
“: Act as a polite customer success agent for Acme Dynamics. Use FAQ to answer questions. You will be acting as an AI customer success agent for a company called Acme Dynamics…” “: Answer questions using functions that you're provided with. You are a research assistant AI that has been equipped with the following function to help you answer a …”
“Note: This is probably obvious to you already, but you are not *completing* the task here. You are writing instructions for an AI to complete the task.” “Note: If you want the AI to output its entire response or parts of its response inside certain tags, specify the name of these tags but do not include closing tags or unnecessary open-and-close tag sections.'''
As an aside, whenever you are starting a conversation with generative AI, I recommend as a prompt engineering technique to begin by asking a question that will establish if the AI has been data-trained on the topic at hand. A generated response that is vacuous will give you a heads-up that you might be barking up the wrong tree with that generative AI app.: Generative AI can generate a wide range of prompts across different topics and styles, providing you with diverse ideas to explore.
“Historical Context: Including the term"American history" situates Lincoln within the broader context, ensuring the explanation relates his significance to the overall historical narrative.”I hope you were quick to compare the description that I provided versus the prompt that ChatGPT generated for me.
My rule of thumb is that rarely would you need to feed a generated prompt into a prompt generator. That being said, it is a clever technique and one that you should keep in the back of your mind, available when needed.I am going to propose something as common as apple pie.“Improved Prompt:"Explore the scientific explanation behind the blue color of the sky, delving into concepts such as Rayleigh scattering, wavelengths of light, and atmospheric composition.
My point with this example was to demonstrate that sometimes a prompt generator might turn a molehill into a mountain. Stay on your toes accordingly.
