Can we talk about improving my prompt engineering skills?
Of course! Prompt engineering is an important skill for working with language models like myself, and I’d be happy to offer some tips for improving your skills in this area.
Firstly, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what a prompt is and how it works. A prompt is essentially the input text that you provide to a language model in order to generate a response. The quality of the prompt can have a significant impact on the quality of the model’s output.
Here are some tips to improve your prompt engineering skills:
- Clearly define the task or question you want the model to answer. The more specific and precise your prompt is, the more likely the model will be able to provide a relevant and accurate response.
- Use natural language and avoid overly technical or jargon-heavy wording. The language model is trained on natural language, so using complex or technical terms could confuse it and lead to inaccurate responses.
- Provide relevant context for the task or question. This can help the model better understand what you’re asking and provide more accurate responses. For example, if you’re asking a language model to generate a summary of an article, provide some context about the topic of the article and what you want the summary to focus on.
- Use examples to guide the model’s response. Providing examples of what you’re looking for can help the model better understand what you want it to do. For example, if you’re asking a language model to generate a product description, provide some sample descriptions of similar products to guide the model’s response.
- Experiment with different prompts to see what works best. Prompt engineering is an iterative process, so don’t be afraid to try different prompts and see what works best for your specific use case.
I hope these tips are helpful! If you have any specific questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask.
how can I engineer this prompt better? I am looking for as much detail as possible so further revisions won’t be needed: “can you give me a recipe for a low carb vegetarian low carb and no cheese food that I can put in a jar and store it in the freezer to eat later”
That’s a good start, but here are some ways you could engineer the prompt to make it more effective:
- Clarify the dietary requirements: Instead of saying “low carb vegetarian low carb and no cheese,” you could specify the exact dietary requirements you’re looking for. For example, “I’m looking for a vegetarian recipe that is both low carb and dairy-free.”
- Specify the type of food: Rather than leaving it open-ended, you could specify the type of food you’re looking for. For example, “I’m looking for a recipe for a low-carb, dairy-free soup or stew that can be stored in a jar and frozen for later.”
- Be more specific about the storage requirements: You mention storing the food in a jar in the freezer, but it’s not clear whether you want the recipe to be specifically designed for this type of storage. For example, if you want a recipe that can be frozen and reheated easily, you might say, “I’m looking for a recipe for a low-carb, dairy-free soup or stew that can be stored in mason jars in the freezer and easily reheated later.”
- Clarify the serving size: It’s not clear from the prompt how many servings you’re looking to make. This could impact the recipe and ingredient amounts, so it’s important to be clear about the serving size you’re looking for. For example, “I’m looking for a recipe for a low-carb, dairy-free soup or stew that can be stored in mason jars in the freezer and reheated later, with enough servings to last me for a week’s worth of lunches.”
- Consider adding flavor preferences: It might be helpful to specify any flavor preferences or ingredients you prefer or want to avoid. For example, “I’m looking for a recipe for a low-carb, dairy-free soup or stew that can be stored in mason jars in the freezer and reheated later, with a preference for spicy flavors and without any tomatoes or mushrooms.”
- Use natural language and be clear: It’s important to use natural language and be as clear as possible in your prompt. Avoid using technical jargon or abbreviations that might be confusing to the model.
Note: the best prompt is generated in #5
I’m looking for a recipe for a low-carb, dairy-free soup or stew that can be stored in mason jars in the freezer and reheated later, with a preference for spicy flavors and without any tomatoes or mushrooms.
I’m looking for a recipe for a low-carb, dairy-free soup or stew that can be stored in mason jars in the freezer and reheated later, with a preference for having bone and bone broth in it and having spices like cardamom and clove .
Thank you for clarifying! Here’s a recipe that might suit your needs:
Low-Carb, Dairy-Free, Bone Broth Soup/Stew Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken or beef (choose your preferred meat)
- 4 cups of bone broth (you can make your own using the bones from your meat or use store-bought)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 2 cups chopped celery
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp clove
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your chicken or beef on the baking sheet and roast it for 30-40 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Once your meat is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Remove the bones and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic in 1-2 tbsp of olive oil until the onion is translucent.
- Add the carrots and celery to the pot and continue to sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add the bone broth, canned tomatoes, and spices to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the shredded meat to the pot and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the soup/stew cool for a few minutes before pouring it into mason jars.
- Store the jars in the freezer for later use.
When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw the soup/stew in the fridge overnight, then reheat it on the stovetop until it’s hot and bubbly. Enjoy!
