GPT Best Practices
I find it interesting that most of these tactics can be summarized into: &quot;write clearly and provide ample information.&quot;<p>I have a side business for ACT&#x2F;SAT prep. I teach English, and often have to remind students about sentence structure and word flow. For example, I can&#x27;t say &quot;My mom, my grandma, and I went to her favorite store&quot; -- in that example, there is no clear way to know who &quot;her&quot; is.<p>Similarly, I see many people claim GPT-n is &quot;dumb&quot;, yet when I see their prompt, I realize it was a bad prompt. There are clear logical inconsistencies, there is inadequate information, and there is confusing word usage.<p>I&#x27;ve been astounded by GPT-4 and have nearly 5x-ed my productivity with it (for coding and for parsing documents). But I think my experience is a result of my habitual &quot;standardized testing&quot; writing style, while others&#x27; poor experience is a result of their more layman writing style.
