Master These 8 ChatGPT Prompt Techniques to Unleash Its Full Potential

ChatGPT hits big numbers.

Think about all the challenges you're facing right now and give ChatGPT (or "Chad") a boost.

2. Provide context and constraints

ChatGPT can handle large amounts of information, so give it every piece of context that will allow it to do its job. Like an intern with a giant notebook, except everything is memorized and used to craft an appropriate response. If you ask generic questions, you will receive generic answers. Instead, adapt the questions by providing context and constraints...
