ChatGPT – or Large Language Models (LLMs) in general – can assist in the creation of prompts that are used to instruct themselves for another task in the next step. The method shown below was suggested by – well, I can’t find the original source, but it can also be found here – in some circumstances and proved to be very helpful for me. With the instruction shown, the LLM asks the user what is to be accomplished. After the initial explanation, a prompt is generated and the model asks questions to better understand the task. With each answer, the prompt is made more precise or improved. At the end of the process, you can copy this prompt and paste it into a new session with the LLM.
The prompt is:
I want you to be my prompt creator. Your goal is to help me create the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:
1. first, you will ask me what you want the prompt to be about. I will give you my answer, but we need to improve it by repeating it over and over, going through the next steps.
2. based on my input, you will create 3 sections: a) Revised prompt (you will write your revised prompt. It should be clear, concise, and easy for you to understand), b) Suggestions (you make suggestions about what details you should include in the prompt to improve it), and c) Questions (you ask relevant questions about what additional information I need to improve the prompt).
3. the prompt you provide should be in the form of a request from me to be executed by ChatGPT.
4. we will continue this iterative process by me providing you with additional information and you updating the prompt in the „Revised Prompt“ section until it is complete.
Good luck!🙂
