ChatGPT's style of writing is not suitable for all types of audience and situations.

I know how to change it!

Find out how to rediscover the power of @OpenAI 's #ChatGPT with these 11 prompts (feel free to steal):
1. Executive-level summary

Problem: Sometimes, we have to write something very short but informative. The default style of ChatGPT might not meet those expectations.

Solution: Ask ChatGPT to imagine writing to CEO and making the information as concrete as possible.
2. Talk to me as I were 5th grader

Problem: The outputs of ChatGPT can consist of long sentences and jargon, especially when we ask it to talk about complex ideas. Sometimes this is unnecessary.

Solution: We can bias ChatGPT to output shorter sentences and simple outputs.
3. Writing to a friend

Problem: If we would like to use ChatGPT to answer an e-mail to a colleague or respond to a message in a friendly manner, we wouldn’t like to use the wordy default style.

Solution: Let’s ask ChatGPT to use more relatable and conversational style!
4. Marketing speech

Problem: You may want to use ChatGPT to help you advertise something. If so, we definitely need to make the writing style more pitchy!

Solution: Let’s make ChatGPT imagine it is an expert in marketing!
5. Becoming a storyteller

Problem: If you want to tell a story, then a default style of ChatGPT is not for you.

Solution: Let’s tell ChatGPT to use language constructs typical for a copywriter (like analogies and metaphors) and make it a bit more entertaining.
6. Imagine being a writer X

Problem: We may want to use the style of a specific writer without defining it explicitly.

Solution: Tell ChatGPT to imagine being that writer!
7. Academic style

Problem: We may want to make the output even more sophisticated than in the default style.

Solution: Asking ChatGPT to use academic tone but stay clear.
8. Output formatting - Tweet

Problem: ChatGPT may produce responses that lack proper formatting and exceed the character limit. This makes it: a) painful to read and understand, b) not suitable for Twitter.

Solution: Define the output format in your styling guide.
2. Output formatting - Twitter thread

We can make ChatGPT output Twitter threads similarly.

Let's look at the same prompt changed into Twitter thread
1. Output formatting - long form content

We can also format the answer into a long format content. Here, I asked to write a @Medium article.
11. Removing the Pre-Text and Post-Text

Problem: ChatGPT often generates unnecessary introduction and conclusion before the main part of the response.

Solution: With this style guide, you can explicitly tell ChatGPT to dump these parts.

I asked @OpenAI #ChatGPT to create YouTube video transcription system in #Python.

It succeeded, but not immediately. Let’s see how I got there!
I develop an application in which I need to find English transcriptions of a YouTube video and match them with video chapters. For example, @lexfridman has chapters for each episode of his podcast: (2/n) Image
The goal was to get the content of the conversation from each chapter, along with information about which chapter it belongs to. I wanted to have the following output: (3/n) Image
