ChatGPT literally ruins your content.
But you can easily avoid that:
Imagine you tell your close friend to write a blog about health benefits.
Is he gonna write straight or ask you some more details about the idea before starting on his laptop?
If that’s all you want him to know then he’ll simply be a confused buddy.
Imagine you just prompt ChatGPT the same way as “Generate a blog about health benefits.”
If a human with more conscious isn’t sure what to do with that, then how are you expecting AI to do so.
Do you call this a specific prompt? I see you nodding for a no. Cool.
And that’s right. A prompt like this won’t work either way.
Even if ChatGPT is gonna come with an output, it’ll be so vague. And we don’t want that.
Now, you’ll be scratching your head:
“So what’s a specific prompt?”
Well. A specific prompt has the following features:
1. Paying attention to small details.
Adding the what, why, and how of the potential output you’re expecting to get.
2. Specifying the format.
Writing is half formatting. Well, not half. But most of it.
Formatting make it readable and eyes will love it.
It’s the sentence structure, the length, the amount of words per sentence and many others thing.
Just Google formatting in writing and you’ll see books of details. Let’s move further.
3. Specifying to avoid fluff.
Yes. ChatGPT is pretty good it. I mean good at generating fluff.
Adverbs, filler worlds, hashtags, emojis and many other things are a part of fluff that ChatGPT will hit you with.
Specify them in the prompt and you won’t see them in the output.
So so so! prompting matters a lot. It’s like garbage in garbage out.
What goes in is out.
And let me tell you one more thing.
There’s a lot to know about how to use ChatGPT for writing which I couldn’t add here.
So check it out below. You’ll find some of the best use cases.
