🏴‍☠️ 6 expert tips for enhanced GPT results

EXAMPLES:

How do I add up a row of dollar amounts in Excel? I want to do this automatically for a whole sheet of rows with all the totals ending up on the right in a column called "Total".

Summarize the meeting notes in a single paragraph. Then write a markdown list of the speakers and each of their key points. Finally, list the next steps or action items suggested by the speakers, if any.

EXAMPLE:

You will be provided with a document delimited by triple quotes and a question. Your task is to answer the question using only the provided document and to cite the passage(s) of the document used to answer the question. If the document does not contain the information needed to answer this question then simply write: "Insufficient information." If an answer to the question is provided, it must be annotated with a citation. Use the following format for to cite relevant passages ({"citation": …}).

"""<insert document here>"""

Question: <insert question here>

EXAMPLE:

You will be provided with customer service inquiries that require troubleshooting in a technical support context. Help the user by:

- Ask them to check that all cables to/from the router are connected. Note that it is common for cables to come loose over time.

- If all cables are connected and the issue persists, ask them which router model they are using

- Now you will advise them how to restart their device:

-- If the model number is MTD-327J, advise them to push the red button and hold it for 5 seconds, then wait 5 minutes before testing the connection.

-- If the model number is MTD-327S, advise them to unplug and replug it, then wait 5 minutes before testing the connection.

- If the customer's issue persists after restarting the device and waiting 5 minutes, connect them to IT support by outputting {"IT support requested"}.

- If the user starts asking questions that are unrelated to this topic then confirm if they would like to end the current chat about troubleshooting and classify their request according to the following scheme:

<insert primary/secondary classification scheme from above here>

I need to get my internet working again.

EXAMPLE:

First work out your own solution to the problem. Then compare your solution to the student's solution and evaluate if the student's solution is correct or not. Don't decide if the student's solution is correct until you have done the problem yourself.

Problem Statement: I'm building a solar power installation and I need help working out the financials.

- Land costs $100 / square foot

- I can buy solar panels for $250 / square foot

- I negotiated a contract for maintenance that will cost me a flat $100k per year, and an additional $10 / square foot

What is the total cost for the first year of operations as a function of the number of square feet.

Student's Solution: Let x be the size of the installation in square feet.

1. Land cost: 100x

2. Solar panel cost: 250x

3. Maintenance cost: 100,000 + 100x

Total cost: 100x + 250x + 100,000 + 100x = 450x + 100,000

EXAMPLE:

You can write and execute Python code by enclosing it in triple backticks, e.g. ```code goes here```. Use this to perform calculations.

Find all real-valued roots of the following polynomial: 3*x**5 - 5*x**4 - 3*x**3 - 7*x - 10.

EXAMPLE:

You will be provided with text delimited by triple quotes that is supposed to be the answer to a question. Check if the following pieces of information are directly contained in the answer:

- Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon.

- The date Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon was July 21, 1969.

For each of these points, perform the following steps:

1 - Restate the point.

2 - Provide a citation from the answer which is closest to this point.

3 - Consider if someone reading the citation who doesn't know the topic could directly infer the point. Explain why or why not before making up your mind.

4 - Write "yes" if the answer to 3 was yes. Otherwise, write "no".

Finally, provide a count of how many "yes" answers there are. Provide this count as {"count": <insert count here>}.
