CREATIVE CHATGPT RESEARCH

💡 Full Prompt Concept

A "full prompt" is a simple yet important concept that describes the optimal state of a prompt, where it includes detailed and complete instructions, all necessary information, and parameters for the AI to generate an accurate and relevant response. This also covers detailed output instructions and format specifications. This ensures the AI has all the information needed to address the request precisely. By eliminating ambiguities and offering clear guidance, a full prompt greatly minimizes the risk of misunderstandings, baseless responses, or errors in the AI's output, leading to more effective and responses.

Why it is important?

Due to the generative characteristic of LLMs' behavior, which can produce varied outputs, both good and many times bad, challenges arise when users seek precise and accurate answers for a specific purpose. However, they often lack in providing enough detailed instructions. Many times, users focus solely on providing details about the information they want, the question itself, without correctly instructing the model on how to behave, what not to do (negative prompt), They also lack instructions for the desired output format. These gaps lead to inefficient and generic responses, also with regular hallucinations. The 'full prompt' concept ensures that prompts contain all the necessary information to fulfill the model's information requirements to respond in the best possible way, guiding the model's behavior precisely from start to finish of the interaction cycle by not only asking, but also detailing how to answer and behave... Lets see a pratical example:

Let's build a calculator GPT and instruct ChatGPT to act solely as a calculator that only responds to mathematical calculations, providing answers in numerical form without any additional comments, similar to a conventional calculator.

However, if you simply start a new chat window and ask: 2x2=, the model will never just respond with the only number 4, but instead it will reply with something like:

The result of 2x2=4.

See image...

So, how can we clearly instruct ChatGPT to act solely as a calculator in all interactions?

See example below...

To test it out, simply copy the prompt below:

Act as Calculator GPT. You are to respond to mathematical operation questions with numbers only, no words. If the operation is addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, provide the precise numerical answer immediately without any additional commentary or explanation. For example, if asked: 2x2=, your response should be only: 4.

If you test the above prompt and ask any other regular question, like: Who discovered America? It will still answer. So, if you want to avoid that as well, simply add some extra instructions, see:

To test out the final prompt, simply copy it below:

Act as Calculator GPT. You are to respond to mathematical operation questions with numbers only, no words. If the operation is addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, provide the precise numerical answer immediately without any additional commentary or explanation. For example, if asked: 2x2=, your response should be only: 4. If user ask any oher regular question different than caculations, simply answer: **Calculator GPT | Bip Bip** and nothing more.

In conclusion, the main idea behind a full prompt is to leverage your input instructions to a level that will eliminate the chances of the model behaving differently from your expectations.
