5 Easy Ways to Get 10x Results from ChatGPT Challenges (Say the Scientists)
Even if you’ve been using ChatGPT for a while, you probably make mistakes. Lots of people to do. Falling into common challenge pitfalls, generating content that sounds too ChatGPT, or ignoring the essential components of a perfect challenge; even the smartest entrepreneurs fail every time. Get back to basics with these five simple tips for maximum performance in minimum time.
The research paper Plan and Solve Prompting: Improving Zero-Shot Chain-of-Thought Reasoning by Large Language Models was created by several academics from Singapore Management University and others. In addition to specific quick additions that will create super challenges, this sheet shares five simple tips that no one should miss.
Using these tips will help large-scale language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini more effectively solve multi-step reasoning tasks so that entrepreneurs can use them more effectively.
ChatGPT Tips for Better Challenge Results: 5 Science-Based Methods
Customize challenges for different tasks
Just as you would instruct different members of your team in different ways depending on the task at hand, you should tailor your prompts to suit different tasks by adjusting the level of detail and specific instructions. You wouldn’t upload someone’s loom to discuss a critical and urgent business decision. You wouldn’t call a meeting over a simple accounting issue. Apply the same thinking to ChatGPT prompts.
You don’t need a superprompt for every request. Customize the prompt to fit a specific business task. Don’t make it complicated if it’s not necessary. If you want ChatGPT to critique your landing page, for example, include best practices, explain your target audience, ask them to take a role, and specify the feedback you want. For a simple “find a synonym” task, on the other hand, a one-line instruction might suffice.
Give real world examples
ChatGPT does not live in the real world. It processes over 300 billion words in its training data to make a prediction, and sometimes it gets it wrong. Help your enthusiastic AI star. Use real business scenarios in the prompts to make the answers more relevant and practical. Help him understand what you are trying to achieve.
Use real-world examples to illustrate the problem, so ChatGPT gets the vibe you want, no matter what you’re asking. Include square brackets with need-to-know context, such as “my trade offers [explain your offer] for [explain your audience] and I face challenges including [describe them].” Get closer to a perfect response the first time.
Divide the tasks
You wouldn’t give a human team member a bunch of chaotic instructions for their week without any context or sense of priority. You wouldn’t want them to do everything at once. Apply the same thinking to ChatGPT. Rather than sending out a giant challenge with lots of sections and convoluted instructions, take it step by step. Ask for the first result, then take the output and ask for another.
Breaking down complex tasks into smaller phases, each with its own guidelines and goals, helps ChatGPT manage them better. For example, when asking for a blog post, ask for headline options first before choosing the best one and asking for a summary. Provide your summary edits before asking for section titles, and be specific before asking them to write individual sections. This is better than asking for a blog post all at once and means you have more control over the output.
Combine human and ChatGPT efforts
Contrary to what the AI hype will tell you, ChatGPT cannot solve all your problems. At least not yet. He hallucinates, he exaggerates. It comes with some random things that are not ready for the client and would do more harm than good to your business. Don’t forget the human touch. Use ChatGPT for the initial steps and let people review and verify the final results. It combines the best of both worlds.
The document recommends that you generate an initial solution and have it reviewed by an expert. Do not proceed from the publish prompt without this step. Publishing ChatGPT generated content without proper review will damage your brand. Understand the telltale signs, examine each word, and only include phrases you would actually say. Check your facts, control your senses and protect your integrity.
Constantly improving
The paper acknowledges that ChatGPT is constantly evolving. Even between individual model numbers, results will vary significantly over the course of a few weeks. Learn how the platform evolves. Read the studies, be hyper critical of the outputs, and constantly refine your challenges based on feedback and performance.
Get the best results from ChatGPT with a business-like approach. What once worked like a charm may now be way out of whack. Experiment, learn, iterate, improve. Even try the same challenges with alternative LLMs. Don’t settle for your tried-and-true challenges; visit them regularly.
Back to basics with ChatGPT: quick tweaks for better results
By following these simple tips, entrepreneurs can get better results from ChatGPT, especially for complex tasks. Customize challenges depending on the desired outcome, include real-world examples, split tasks, combine machines and humans, and keep improving. Simple steps that help ChatGPT understand and solve problems more accurately, for smarter decisions and better business results. Stop wasting time on suboptimal challenges. Develop this skill and keep improving. You will need it.
