The first prompt provides a starting point or direction for ChatGPT. The response follows the same tone, context, and style as the prompt. Here are some general rules for writing prompts for ChatGPT-3.5:
- 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

- It should be useful
- It should spark creativity
- It should be silly
