ChatGPT Prompt Engineering Mastermind: we worked on Zoom to improve each other's prompts! April 6

04/08/23 • 40 min

The first Prompt Engineering Mastermind! 50+ people attended.

People presented prompts for us to collaboratively improve:

Prompt for instructions on how to building a website using WordPress. ChatGPT fixated on prior information. Starting a new conversation cleared that out.
Prompt for a "therapist-like" persona, that leads a conversation and responds contextually. We experimented and ultimately settled on not just roleplaying, but roleplaying with a specific famous therapist, and got good results.
Prompt for creating carousel content (e.g. swipeable slide content typically found on Instagram and LinkedIn). The biggest improvement were telling ChatGPT to:
1. Generate the text first, then "step by step" (which forces meta-cognition) break it into separate phrases for each of the 10 slides.
2. Ensure each slide builds upon the previous one and creates a cohesive narrative. The final result is more connected and improved, meeting the user's objectives.

Additional topics we covered:

Helpful extensions for ChatGPT
The importance of using one conversation for a prompt building prompt, and testing each iteration of that prompt in a *new* conversation
In-depth explanation of meta prompting, which involves building a persona model for ChatGPT to help it interact more effectively
Poll of the attendees overwhelmingly voted for masterminds being weekly, rather than biweekly.

Using ChatGPT & Midjourney for the #hustleGPT challenge, and for SEO

Sean Ridley, founder of MSP SEO Synergy, is an SEO expert who has been exploring the applications of AI in marketing. He learned about prompt engineering through Twitter and was one of the first 50 businesses to start the #HustleGPT challenge.
Sean has been using ChatGPT for many things:
- Developing website copy: ChatGPT has helped Sean create the copy for his agency's website, including meta descriptions and other content.
- Social media presence: Sean has utilized ChatGPT to generate posts for platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, helping him effectively communicate about his business.
- Used Midjourney to brainstorm ideas for website layouts and design, and loves Pait Digital's prompts
He's excited about:
- Scaling ideas: AI's ability to take small human ideas and scale them beyond the person's imagination is what excites Sean the most.
- ChatGPT plugins: particularly integrating with apps like Instacart and Zapier for automation.
- Inspiration from others: Sean shouted out https://twitter.com/Lauren_79 who shares beautiful and majestic prompts on MidJourney.

ChatGPT used for Dungeons & Dragons-like game called QuestGPT! Techniques: reflection, step by step

Adam and Bruno are part of a team that built an awesome game on top of ChatGPT. It's called QuestGPT [ https://questgpt.io ] and I brought them on to talk about that.
Quote:
"Temperature is one of the knobs we can tune to say how engaging we want it to be, but also how correct and predictable do we want it to be. For example, we have this character creation menu where we dynamically generate descriptions of your character based on some personality test, basically. And for that we want it to be funny and to be all out. So we want that to be like higher temperature for that.
But when we're storytelling, of course we want it to be engaging, but if you get it to be too hot, it'll lose its purpose at some point. It'll forget what it's trying to do. So we want to not let that to be too hot."
Topics and techniques discussed:
- role playing
- reflection
- the temperature parameter, what it does
- using multiple agents within ChatGPT, and even multiple *separate* conversations (with their own temperature values) to work together
- generating art in MidJourney

Zishan, let me unmute you and make you a co-host. Alright, thank you. Okay. You should be able to share your screen with the ChatGPT interface up and your prompt up. So I actually didn't prepare that. I just had a prompt in mind that I was hoping you could help guide through how to actually like, set it up. That is okay. I can pull it up. Can you just tell me what the prompt is and I will share my screen?

Yeah, so the prompt was, lemme
