ChatGPT and you

You're writing a story with ChatGPT and want it to focus on character development rather than action. Which is the best prompt?

• “Write an action-packed story with explosions.”

• “Create a story about a battle between robots.”

• “Write a story about a lonely robot who slowly learns to make friends, focusing on their emotions and thoughts.”

• “Make a fun story about a robot.”

You give ChatGPT the prompt:
“Rewrite this paragraph to sound more formal and professional.”
Which of the following is most likely to affect the quality of the result?

• The speed of your internet connection

• The vocabulary level in the original paragraph

• The number of paragraphs in your essay

• The number of likes the prompt has on social media

Which of the following prompts is most likely to produce an answer full of hallucinated or inaccurate information?

• “Tell me about a lost ancient civilization that nobody has ever discovered.”

• “List 5 U.S. states with the largest populations.”

• “Summarize the plot of Romeo and Juliet.”

• “Explain the difference between protons and neutrons.”

You're comparing two prompts:

• Prompt A: “Give me 10 ideas for a school science fair project.”

• Prompt B: “Give me 10 low-budget, eco-friendly science fair project ideas that use recycled materials.”
  What makes Prompt B better?

• It uses longer words

• It asks for fewer ideas

• It contains more typos

• It gives clearer, more specific constraints

ChatGPT is more likely to misunderstand or give poor results when prompts:

• Are written in lowercase

• Contain conflicting instructions or vague goals

• Use uncommon vocabulary

• Are polite

You ask:
“Give me a 4-paragraph essay on climate change in the style of Shakespeare.”
What is the most likely problem with the result?

• It will contain scientific errors

• It will use old English but lack essay structure

• It will be about theater

• It will be too long

What’s the most efficient way to improve the following prompt:
“Tell me something cool.”

• “Tell me something cool that happened in space exploration in the last 5 years.”

• “Tell me something.”

• “What’s cool?”

• “Give me an example of a very cool thing.”

You’re designing a classroom activity using ChatGPT. You want students to compare different writing styles. Which prompt supports that goal best?

• “Explain the water cycle.”

• “Rewrite this explanation of the water cycle in a poetic style, then again in a comic book style.”

• “What is poetry?”

• “Give me water cycle facts.”

Which of these is not a limitation of ChatGPT?

• It can hallucinate information

• It can't browse the internet (in the free version)

• It can respond with bias if the prompt is biased

• It understands your feelings and intentions

You want ChatGPT to help you create a short story involving mystery, suspense, and a twist ending, set in a school. Which is the best prompt?
