📝 You and your grandma is using ChatGPT wrong

🧠 Let's get you into EXPERT mode, seriously

📈 Here are some quick tips to get you from n00b to PRO

💬 prompts in thread 🧵

Mistake number one:

🛑 Don't use it like you use Google to search

✅ Give it context, Ask ChatGPT to take the role you need it to take.

💡 Simply put, Have a conversation with it, and be nice

💬 Example Prompt

"You are a travel booking expert, and I'm on a $2000 budget. I'm living in Copenhagen and want to go somewhere nice and warm in December. Where in the world do you think I could go?"

💬 Example Prompt

"You are a world-famous Michelin-star restaurant chef, the best of the best. Could you please provide me with a simple and easy-to-cook 3-course meal that would impress the president?"

Mistake number two:

🛑 Asking for the conventional

✅ Ask it to go against the current

💡 Ask for things that go against the norm, that challenge the recipient, ask it to come up with new angles, and see things with a different lens.

💬 Example Prompt

"Topic: Growing your followers on Twitter

For the above topic, give examples that contradict the dominant narrative. Generate an outline for thought-provoking content that challenges assumptions."

💬 Example Prompt

"Topic: Parenting a 2.5 year old

For the above topic, give examples that contradict the dominant narrative. Generate an outline for thought-provoking content that challenges assumptions."

Mistake number three:

🛑 Ask for a list of 5 things

✅ Ask it to come up with new angles, or ideas that are uncommon or novel

💡 Super charge your brainstorming with ChatGPT

💬 Example Prompt

"Topic: How to double my available time.

For the topic above, brainstorm new angles or approaches. Prioritize ideas that are uncommon or novel."

Mistake number four:

🛑 Use it to respond to your emails

✅ Teach it your tone of voice, and then respond to emails

💡 Feed GPT with your writing and use NPL to extract a prompt for your style

💬 Example prompt

"You are a classification AI, Using NLP I want you to analyze the text below for style, voice, and tone. Then create a prompt to write a new text in the same style, voice, and tone:

[Insert your text here]"

Once you have your voice and tone use it to write whatever emails you need. And they will be personal and in your tone of voice:

Here is a quick example:

Mistake number five:

🛑 Just use the standard response

✅ Ask it to vary its output
• Outline
• Bullet points
• Persuasive essay
• Chunks of text of less than 280 characters 😉
• Using the structure: 1) What, 2) Why, 3) How

💡 Leverage the power of AI

💬 Example prompt

"Create a mind map on the topic of using ChatGPT as a teacher to plan out class lessons, listing out the central idea, main branches, and sub-branches."
