Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is like giving really smart robots special instructions so they know exactly what you want them to do. It’s like telling a friend how to make your favorite sandwich so they get it just right!

Here’s how you can give good instructions to different smart robot friends to help them understand better:

1. For a writing robot like GPT-3:

   - Simple task: If you want GPT-3 to write a story about a pirate, don’t just say "Write a story." Instead, you could say, "Write a fun story about a pirate named Captain Bluebeard who is searching for treasure on Mystery Island."

   - More details: This tells the robot not just to write any story, but exactly what kind of story and what’s exciting about it!

2. For a drawing robot like DALL-E:

   - Simple task: Instead of saying "Draw an animal," you can say, "Draw a fluffy cat wearing a superhero cape flying above the city."

   - More details: This helps the drawing robot know not just to draw any cat, but a special superhero cat and what it’s doing!

3. For a music-making robot:

   - Simple task: Instead of just saying "Make music," tell it, "Create a cheerful song using a piano and a flute that could be played at a birthday party."

   - More details: This helps the music robot understand the mood of the music and which instruments to use!

4. For a math-solving robot like Wolfram Alpha:

   - Simple task: Instead of asking "Solve a math problem," you might say, "What is the sum of 456 and 123?"

   - More details: This gives the robot a specific math problem to solve, so it knows exactly what you need.

5. For a video-making robot like Synthesia:

   - Simple task: Rather than saying "Make a video," specify by saying, "Create a two-minute video explaining how volcanoes erupt for a school project, with animations of the lava flowing."

   - More details: This tells the robot the topic, length, and type of content you want, making it easier to create the right video.

Prompt engineering is like helping your robot friends understand exactly what you’re thinking so they can do their best to help you out! It's like being a teacher who gives really clear instructions to make sure the class understands the lesson.

Prompts can get very detailed as you become aware of the nuances of the LLM you are working with, for example Leaonardo.ai 

Prompt: masterpiece, glass art, Menger sponge design, spiral patterns, reflection effects, fractal art, inspired by Dale Chihuly, texture of porcelain, green-gold dichoism, volcanic glass texture, fiberoptics effect, bismuth oxide, leaded glass, pastel neon glow, milky sheen, high detail, artisanal glassblowing techniques, intricate craftsmanship, translucent materials, ethereal quality, luminescent accents
