In today's show, the DAS crew discussed the concept of prompt engineering in AI, specifically focusing on OpenAI's Chat GPT.They discussed several frameworks for crafting effective prompts, including the Cisco method and the RACE method.The team also shared their experiences and tips for getting the best results from AI models using structured prompts.Key Insights & Tips: The Cisco method (Context, Intent, Style, Commands, Outcome) provides a structured way to craft effective prompts.The RACE method (Role, Action, Context, Execute) offers another framework for crafting prompts.The 'act as' statement or role defining is an important part of crafting prompts. It helps set the tone and context for the AI's responses.Testing and experimentation are key to refining prompts and getting the best results from AI models.It's beneficial to use a consistent framework to ensure that no important aspects are overlooked.Using AI models to create prompts can yield positive results. For example, asking Chat GPT to act as a prompt engineer.The specificity of prompts is important. The more specific the prompt, the better the AI model can understand and deliver the expected output.Maintaining a prompt library can be beneficial for reusing effective prompts and making the process more efficient.Positive phrasing in prompts typically yields better results.
