Generative AI Prompt text-to-text Introduction

What is text-to-text Generative AI?

A text-to-text Generative AI is an AI that Generates text based on text input.

An example of a text-to-text Generative AI is ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI.

Text generation uses machine learning, existing data and previous user input in generating responses.

Text Generative AI can be used to:

• Understanding Text
• Create content
• Debug code
• Education
• Research
• Translation
• Virtual Assistant
• And much, much more!

Giving Generative AIs input is known as AI Prompt Writing or AI Prompt Engineering.

General Rules for Prompt Writing

When writing prompts for text-to-text Generative AIs, the rules will differ depending on which platform you use, but here are some general rules:

• Start simple - start with a simple prompt and build on it
• Call to Action - start the prompt with an action word like "Write", "Create", or "Summarize" instead of "Can you"
• Add Context - add specific and relevant context to the task you want to perform
• Add Expectations - add clear and direct expectations for the content, like how long it should be and what to include

Example

With the following prompt:

Create a list of 10 fun and inexpensive toy gifts to programmers based on the following criteria:

- It should be useful
- It should be silly
