The Basics of ChatGPT
Prompts: The order you give the AI
Promt Suggestions
1. Define the use cases – See use cases later in the aticle to get inspiration
2. Define ChatGPTs Role: “You are… -my all knowing fitness mentor – my French teacher, my Programming Coach etc.”
3. Be detalied about what you want “Give me an Outline, Give me a ten step plan”
4. Try, try and try – Many iterations to get what you need
5. Benchmark and use Prompt Websites
Prompting is difficult – It forces us to precisely formulate what we want – Let me help!
USE SnackPrompt
Prompts for specific use cases are submitted by users and then upvoted by other users similiar to reddit.
Use filters such as “relationship” to find prompts for good night stories and “business” to build powerful marketing campaigns
Check it out and find the perfect promt for your use case here.
After testing the good night story prompt, I learned that you fill out the specifics of your promt that are then automatically entered into the prompt suggestion. When you are done with the click of a button you can open this prompt in ChatGPT directly and paste the prompt in. Then, the wonderful story of pip, the courageuos rabbit adventurer is written for you within seconds!
USE Promptpal
Prompts are gathered and seperated into free versions and paid “pro” Versions – You can also only see 12 prompts without logging in. Check them out here!
After logging in you can load more prompts that are not categorized and sorted – So it is not good for finding specific prompt suggestions (Also because the searchbar is not clickable and does not work)
It is good for getting inspiration for cool prompts such as “Develop a plan for improving office security” to see what other people prompt.
The Website is very new and the Prompts will improve and increase over time. Furthermore, functional difficulties such as the non – working search bar will be fixed!
USE YouTube
A lot of content creators around AI are rising so searching for ways to prompt is great to stay up to date. F.e. look at this video
The creator explains Beta features of ChatGPT by showing them, thus giving a live follow along for prompting
This is an example of a YouTuber explaining how ChatGPT can take different viewpoints and strengthen your arguments
In summary, there are many sources to get Prompt inspiration from depending on what type of learner you are. For visual learners, YouTube is Top, for readers Snackprompt is the best solution I have found until now. Feel free to comment in case you think otherwise.
Use Cases
Learning / Testing skills – Summarizing – Programming assistance – Songwriting – Planning (fe. Dates) – Research (fe. Legal research) – Playing games such as Tic Tac Toe
Learning skills: ChatGPT will help you learn skills by creating detailed step by step processes to acquire a skill wihtin a certain time frame – All you have to do is do it!
Testing Skills: ChatGPT can test you intelectually, fe. when you are learning languages or studying for an exam and you want to check your general knowledge of a topic.
Summarizing: You can copy an entire article / Blogpost into the chat and then ask ChatGOT to summarize the content within a set number of words
Programming assistance: You can enter the functionality you want + the language you want the feature to be coded in and ChatGOT will code simple features correctly!
Songwriting / Poemwriting: Well, its in the name
Planning (fe. Dates). ChatGPT can give cool and refreshing date ideas based on your situation (low budget, city, weather etc)
Research: The most famous and controversial part of ChatGPT – It is great for getting started with a topic, but don’t use it as a real source – ChatGPT hallucinates form time to time, meaning that it will give you completely wrong information that may not be true. Watch this video to see how it destroyed a legal career.
Playing games: Try it – “Play tic tac toe with me” – I won! ChatGPT can even play would you rather with you and if you want to see all the games ChatGPT can play with you, just ask for a list!
Nice to know
GPT stands for generative pretrained Transformer
In Language models there is a concept of halllucinations, wherre the AI gives a nonsense response that is also often stereotypical
ChatGPT has now been flat-out banned by a number of countries. This includes Russia, China, Cuba, Iran and Syria
How ChatGPT works: As a language model, it works on probability, able to guess what the next word should be in a sentence. To get to a stage where it could do this, the model went through a supervised testing stage. It got fed a lot of data from the internet and then a diversity of answers was created by the programm, which were then judged by researchers so the AI can adjust and learn the correct probability of which word is the best option to choose.
You can also give thumbs up and down on live ChatGPT responses to achieve a similiar effect – As ChatGPT answers very similiarly for similiar prompts, it can adjust probabilities based on user feedback
Was ChatGPT used?
Because similiar promts lead to similiar answers teachers can check what ChatGPT gives them as an answer for the research question and derive which students just copy pasted a ChatGPT answer for their research paper.
Furthermore, ChatGPT usually writes in high prose, which is untipical for most normal written language – This also hints the use of ChatGPT
Bug Bounty Programm
In case you are technical you can search for Bugs and security breaches in ChatGPT to earn rewards up to 20.000$ (Realistically anything from 300 to 5.000$) if you participate in the Bug Bounty Programm.

My Conclusion
In conclusion, ChatGPT is all about experimenting with the correct promt to get what you want. It can help you to structure thoughts, plan, research and much more. It is one of the most powerful and fast growing tools on the market at the moment and utilizing and understanding its potential and use cases is crucial for young people who want to make a living and stay competitive in this rapidly growing world.
