This video provides a guide for English teachers on how to use effective prompting with AI tools. The speaker offers several strategies for improving the quality of AI-generated responses for tasks like creating exams, activities, or lesson plans.
Here are the key takeaways from the video:
Create a List of Unwanted Words: Maintain a document of words or phrases you dislike in AI responses so you can instruct the AI to avoid them in future prompts.
Start with an Initial Draft: It’s recommended to create a draft of a prompt that can be reused for similar tasks in the future.
The Four Key Elements of a Good Prompt: The speaker outlines the four key elements for crafting a good prompt: Role, Context, Task, and Instructions.
Discover Your Voice: You can have the AI analyze your own speaking or writing style to personalize AI responses.
Provide a Knowledge Base: Share important files, articles, or documents with the AI to give it a knowledge base.
Engage in a Dialogue: Instead of writing a long prompt from scratch, you can begin with a task and then ask the AI to pause and ask you clarification questions.
Test Prompts Across Several Tools: The speaker advises testing the same prompt on different AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude, as they may yield different results.
