Master Prompt Engineering - Volume 1 - Basics: Introduction to Prompt Engineering and Fundamental Techniques

“You can collect prompts from everywhere else but in the long run, people who learn how to create prompts will be in huge demand”

Hello Fellow Prompters

Welcome to our introductory course on prompt engineering!

Prompt engineering (PE) is the process of communicating effectively with an AI to achieve desired results. As AI technology continues to rapidly advance, the ability to master prompt engineering has become a particularly valuable skill. Prompt engineering techniques can be applied to a wide variety of tasks, making it a useful tool for anyone seeking to improve their efficiency in both everyday and innovative activities.

This course is tailored to beginners, making it the perfect starting point if you're new to AI and PE. However, even if you're not a beginner, you'll still find valuable insights within this course. This course is the most comprehensive prompt engineering course available, and the content ranges from an introduction to AI to advanced PE techniques.

Brief Summary of what you will master:

Prompting

The process of instructing an AI to do a task is called prompting. We tell the AI a set of instructions (the prompt) and it performs the task. Prompts can be as simple as an instruction/question, or as complex as huge chunks of text.

Giving Instructions

One of the simplest prompting methods is just giving instructions (sometimes called instruction prompting). Modern AIs can follow much more complex instructions.

Role Prompting

Another prompting technique is to assign a role to the AI. For example, your prompt could start with "You are a doctor" or "You are a lawyer" and then ask the AI to answer some medical or legal questions.

Shot Prompting

Yet another prompting strategy is few-shot prompting, which is just showing the model a few examples (called shots) of what you want it to do.

Combining Techniques  

Prompts can have varying formats and complexity. They can include context, instructions, and multiple input-output examples. Combining these different prompting techniques can lead to more powerful prompts.

Formalizing Prompts

There are a few different parts of a prompt. They are roughly: 

1. A role
2. An instruction/task
3. A question
4. Context
5. Examples (few shots) etc

Chatbot Basics

When you ask it a question (a prompt), it does not remember anything that you have previously asked it. In contrast, chatbots like ChatGPT can remember your conversation history. This can be useful for applications such as customer service or simply if you want to have a conversation with an LLM.

Pitfalls of LLMs

LLMs for the most part cannot accurately cite sources. This is because they do not have access to the Internet, and do not exactly remember where their information came from. They will frequently generate sources that look good but are entirely inaccurate.

LLM Settings

The output of LLMs can be affected by configuration hyperparameters, which control various aspects of the model, such as how 'random' it is. These hyperparameters can be adjusted to produce more creative, diverse, and interesting output.

Understanding AI Minds

Thousands, if not millions of AIs exist. Some are better than others. Note that these are all generative AIs, basically AIs that make things. There are also discriminative AIs, which are AIs that classify things.

Starting Your Journey

The rest of this course will contain additional techniques and resources, but the best way of learning PE is to start experimenting with your prompts. This chapter will show you how to get started with solving an arbitrary prompt engineering problem.

What to Expect

By the end of the E-book, you may walk away with any combination of the following:

1. A deeper understanding of the factors that are preventing you from reaching your full potential in prompting.
2. Knowing which strategies and direction to prioritize, so that you can regain control of your time
3. Tailored prompting strategies & tactics based on your unique case situation
4. A better understanding of your prompting factors to immediately improve your prompts
5. Ideas to innovate and stay ahead of the trends in a competitive market, either in business or in jobs (especially in the age of AI)
6. Deep connection with a strong support network of growth-minded prompters
7. A personalized plan for overcoming your limitations in prompting. The phrase "Ceiling of Complexity of Prompting" (CCP) refers to the maximum level of complexity that a person can achieve in prompting. This level is unique to each individual and is determined by a variety of factors, such as experience, knowledge, and skill.

A Small Price for Potentially Life-Changing Results

I mean, it’s only $7.90 [USD]. If you are a serious prompter, given all the benefits I promised above, it should be a no-brainer.

For just $7.90, you'll gain access to expert guidance, invaluable insights, and a network of driven prompters. This E-Book is to help you overcome the challenges of prompting and reaching your full potential.

The phrase "Growth Gridlock" refers to a situation where a person is unable to progress in their prompting skills because they are stuck in a rut. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as a lack of motivation, a lack of resources, or a lack of support.

If you are experiencing Growth Gridlock, there are several things that the E-Book can do to help you break free. The E-Book can provide you with resources, and technical knowledge. It can also help you identify the specific challenges that you are facing and develop a strategy for overcoming them.
