This is a crosspost from /r/juststart \- but I’m not sure if anyone goes there anymore. So, this is gonna be kinda long. But I wanted to share how I use AI & prompting to do things in a way that works (for me).
To preface, I’ve been using a ton of AI for my ecom biz. and built a tool for blogging that does all of what I’m about to share with you guys.
If you want to get good results, you’re going to need to give sample data – on EVERYTHING.
I essentially use training data on everything (title, url slug, headlines, different sections of the article)
And to make this work – you aren’t going to be using ChatGPT. You will be using the OpenAI playground – **which is a lot more useful.**
Here’s what I mean by ‘training data’: [See this image on OpenAi Playground Here])
With that said – you don’t need to much, 10-15 examples like that, should be fine. When it comes time for the result – you do this: [See OpenAI Playground img here])
Essentially, you give your instructions first, then examples with input and expected output, and fill in the blanks on your input.
So now – if I wanted to use that to create a title – I would simply do this: [See image here])
***Couple of things to note***
* I purposely misspelled on the input and corrected on my example outputs, because I wanted to force correct spelling & and a specific format. As you can see – it worked.
* I used ‘Completion’ instead of ‘Chat’ mode in the beginning by accident, but I would suggest Chat, results are better.

Now, with that being said, you’re going to want to do this for ALL sections of your article. Title, slug, the outlines, intro, conclusions, article sections, headers, etc. The more specific you get – the better.
Next, you’re going to want to give at LEAST 3 to 5 samples (with the input/output format I showed you earlier.)
The more samples you give – the better results you’ll get.
The whole purpose of this is to be able to train the AI to respond in a way that YOU want it to respond. The issue w/ most people that are using chatGPT and others is they give weak, weak prompts.
“Write me an article on x topic” sucks. But so does a very complicated instructional prompt without any examples.
You can save each of these on OpenAI playground, btw. So you can always reference them.

Finally, once you have your bits & pieces generated – it should already look MUCH better than the generic crap you typically get. But now the fun part – you can start adding your own context/facts/opinions to each section.
The way that I have that structured is pretty complicated, but what you can do is simply copy & paste a section that was created – and simply say “I would like that to be rewritten to include these: fact 1, fact 2, opinion, etc.” (probably not the best example – just thought of that off the top of my head, but you get the idea)
\—–
That about wraps it up. Go specific. It’s more work – but the results are 1000x better.
