AI - ChatGPT and how to use it

Introduction

ChatGPT is a conversationalist API based upon GPT large language model which accepts a prompt and returns and output

one of the most common uses is to ask a question of ChatGPT and it can hopefully give a good answer
indeed Microsoft has incorporated a version “Prometheus” into its Bing search engine
- remember, ChatGPT 3.5 is not aware of any web documents loaded after 2021 as the training dataset was derived prior to then
- future versions may also become contaminated with ChatGPT and other LLM outputs uploaded on the internet which may or may not be correct

here you create a role and optionally, behaviours and features, to tell ChatGTP how it should be responding to your inputs
see AI - creating a voiced role-play conversational output from ChatGTP
eg. you can tell it that it is a YouTuber with over a million subscribers and then ask it on tips to optimise your channel by giving it your URL

you need to enable code interpreter in ChatGTP settings
you can then upload a data table in csv format (one at a time) and you tell ChatGTP it is a data scientist then ask ChatGTP to analyse it, optimise it, chart it and you can then download the generated python code it used to achieve this output as well as a pdf of the charts

TalkBerry
- this allows you to speak to ChatGTP and you will get a verbal output
- you can specify what speech you would like to utilise eg. Google English, Googe Spanish, etc
- this can be a good tool for learning languages
Prompt Genius
- this allows you to use ready made prompts for ChatGTP or create and save your own prompts with the option of having placeholders for input variables designated by it in the saved prompt
- it also gives you access to many prompts on Reddit even if you are not logged into Reddit - find the one you want, highlight the prompt, right click and select save as prompt
- you can use forward slash as a short cut to display available prompts
- you can save or share your conversation session and export as pdf
Prompt storm
- you do need to sign up with Prompt Storm 1st time you use it
- large list of pre-made prompts by categories, helps you write better prompts

engineering tools:
- self-consistency
- Tree of Thoughts (ToT)
  - bridges the gap between symbolic planning and modern LLMs, offering the promise of more human-like planning and metacognition
  - encourages the LLM to generate multiple possible thoughts at each juncture rather than sticking with a single sequential thought generation process
  - allows the model to explore diverse reasoning paths and consider various options simultaneously
  - self-evaluation to distinguish good paths and dead end paths
  - breadth-first search or depth-first search algorithms as in playing chess and visualising multiple moves ahead before making a move
  - customizable modules

- Automatic prompt Engineer (APE)
- Chain of Thought (COT)
ask it to:
- use multiple thinking models with experts from each providing critiques
- develop foolproof plans and subtasks
- outline steps taken in decision making
