It's great to see that there's now a term for the type of prompting, “generated knowledge”. I've been experimenting with this technique since the beginning, and I've noticed a significant improvement in version 4. The process involves outlining the project, creating tasks, and feeding them back to chatGPT as you progress. This approach has helped me complete projects that would have otherwise taken me much longer to finish.
It's also useful for creating practical tutorials. While there are plenty of tutorials available online, sometimes you need guidance on a specific set of technologies. By using generated knowledge prompts, you can get a good outline and tasks to help you understand how these technologies interact.
One thing to keep in mind is to avoid derailing the conversation with questions that are not relevant to the core tasks. If you get stuck on something and need to debug, it's best to use a separate conversation to avoid derailing the project's progress and the allucinations & forgettingness
- afro88 4y agoAbsolutely, and same here. I've done multiple tools that would have taken 2-3 days each in 2-3 hours each. > One thing to keep in mind is to avoid derailing the conversation with questions that are not relevant to the core tasks. If you get stuck on something and need to debug, it's best to use a separate conversation to avoid derailing the project's progress and the allucinations & forgettingness Definitely. Great advice. Another tip: don't bother asking it to fix small things. Just mention you fixed it in the next reply and move on.
- AzzieElbab 4y agoSomething must be wrong with me. I could never get anything useful from Martin Fowler's writings, and coincidentally I cannot get any functional code out of ChatGPT. Even the boilerplate it produces for me needs to be corrected. I still use chatGPT to produce examples of abstract things but was not able to get any working code that matches concrete problems or even compiles.
- afro88 4y agoAre you using the GPT4 model? There's a very significant improvement between 3.5 (the free one) and 4.
- AzzieElbab 4y agoI am supposedly on GPT4 via GPT+. I try using it for boilerplatey things, like terraform, and the results are simply incorrect. It seems more helpful in providing examples, even for some far more complex tech - like rust code.
- simonw 4y agoDoes it say GPT-4 at the top of the screen?
- AzzieElbab 4y agoIt does. One example of incorrect TF got produced is splitting the dynamo table, and it's gsi into two distinct resources
