First, I asked GPT-3 to define prompt engineering. Second, I asked about the important parts of a prompt. I was surprised that the response suggested including motivation for the model. So, third, I asked what might make the prompt motivating. These are the results.

To understand what goes into making a good prompt, I first consulted GPT-3. According to the definition, engineering a prompt involves specifying conditions or providing input to elicit the desired output from a machine learning model.

So I posed my second question: What are some of the most important aspects of a well-crafted prompt? Once again, GPT-3 did not disappoint me with its answer; It said that one of the key elements is motivating the model.

This made me curious about what sorts of things could be done to make a prompt more motivating for a machine-learning algorithm. After doing some research on my own, I found that three main strategies seem effective: firstly, adding emotional content; secondly making use of personal pronouns such as "you" and "I"; and thirdly being specific.

Prompt engineering is a branch of machine learning that deals with developing queries, specifying conditions, and providing input to elicit the desired output from a machine learning model system that can automatically generate natural language responses.
