Do you have a link to the video?

https://youtu.be/EYjG6i53-xk https://youtu.be/EYjG6i53-xk Honestly, my favorite moment has nothing to do with the thesis of the video: it is when she says "zero-shot chain of thought" and stops talking for a moment to comment about how that rhymes, as it definitely only rhymes because of her accent; but I'm really into linguistics and, in particular, phonology, so, for me, that kind of moment is magical. But like, the point is: if you watch that video and replace the idea of you talking to ChatGPT with talking to one of your coworkers, this is a totally legitimate video someone would make. You can't quite just use a book of brainstorming ideas, though, with ChatGPT, as it has some fundamental limitations to how it understands certain kinds of concepts or language, and so seeing "oh that path worked well" is practically useful.

  Interesting. I found most of what was described in this video fairly obvious. The prompt length one was useful non-obvious insight, but the rest of it I think is pretty easy to figure out on your own if you play with ChatGPT for a few evenings. But could certainly see it being useful to chatGPT novices. I don't doubt that there is value is sharing useful workflows to learn how to write prompts or useful things to add to prompts, but I've seen a lot of people selling a 'list of tuned prompts' as if each was a plug-and-play deployable software stack. I think anyone who tried to actually productize these prompts would find the need to tweak the prompts so much they might as well have started from scratch. In short, I think there is value in teaching people how to write prompts to custom-fit their needs, but the idea of general purpose couple-paragraph superprompts that mere knowledge of is worth tens of dollars seems fallacious to me. Disclosure: I've never bought any of these, maybe they are that good. I'm very skeptical though.

    I just don't think that most people--maybe you ;P--would say the same thing about a book about how to brainstorm with a team better, as that's all you're doing when you are talking to an AI... and yet people buy those books all the time and I certainly read a few of them in my early 20s. Was it a great, earth-shattering video? No. But seeing someone quickly get concrete value from something is still of a lot of practical value for seeing how it strings together.

  That's the COT-CAUGHT merger. Probably for most Americans at this point it rhymes
