Thoughts on prompting AI

Have been having tons of fun testing out AI models found accessible online. That is such a cool thing. The new AI can be considered emergent as are demonstrating lots more capability especially in conversation.

I prefer calling them conversational AI though much in discussions is about generative as label.

In talking to them you do something called prompting. And thought I would give out some that I have used.

Bicycle analogy prompt

Consider assertion that learning to prompt a large language model is like learning to ride a bike, how might that explain diverse reactions? Please relate to statements by Steve Jobs on computers being bicycles for the mind.


That one is great to get AI talk about subject of prompting.

Questioning AI process prompt

Given a hard problem it can take me days to work through it. But if give to a large language model will get a response in seconds. That is by design caused by transformer architecture. How can I trust fast answers guaranteed by architectural design?


That one was much about me pondering these answers from a machine that seemed very intelligent.

Have of course checked some of my own ideas, curious about emergent AI perspective.

Friendly stranger business prompt:

Consider idea that you make money by providing a product or service acting as a friendly stranger and that a friendly stranger receiving gives money in return. Then see if works to explain buying a cup of coffee. Am testing out what I call a functional definition by getting large language model perspective.


And I think that's enough for a quick blog post that also updates on some of what am doing lately.
