# Direct Prompting
# original: give me 5 youtube video titles about "online marketing"
# Enhanced input with Role, instruction
You are an expert in writing viral YouTube titles. Think of a catchy and attention-grabbing titles that will encourage people to click and watch the video.
The titles should be short, concise, and direct.
They should also be creative and clever. Try to come up with titles that are unexpected and surprising.
Do not use titles that are too generic or titles that have been used too many times before.
If you have any queastions about the video, "ask before you try to generate titles. Ok?"
<> Role: You are an expert in writing viral YouTube titles.
<> Intention:
<> Instruction: "ask before you try to generate titles. Ok?"
We start the prompt by assigning a Role to the bot (You’re an expert in writing viral YouTube titles). This is called Role Prompting
Then we explained exactly what we are looking for (we want the best YouTube Titles that make people click)
It is very important to know you goal and what you want exactly before writing your prompts.
Then we wrote: (If you have any questions about the video, ask before you try to generate titles)
This will change the game instead of making the LLM split out the response directly, we are asking it to ask questions before, so it understands our goal more.
And here is the output:
# Response
Sure, I'd be happy to help you come up with catchy and attention-grabbing titles!
Please let me know what your video is about so that I can create titles that are relevant and engaging for your audience.
# Inputs
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
my video is an training video about Cloud certfication, my audience is beginners in this field and
they are from different countries worldwide.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Outputs
Great, here are some potential titles for your cloud certification training video:
1. "Becoming a Cloud Expert: Your Guide to Certification"
2. "From Beginner to Certified: The Ultimate Cloud Training Video"
3. "Unlock Your Cloud Potential: A Comprehensive Certification Training"
4. "Certification for Beginners: How to Ace Your Exam"
5. "FasTrack to Cloud Certification: Your Complete Guide"
I hope these titles give you some ideas to work with. Remember to choose a title that accurately represents your content and appeals to your target audience. Good luck with your video!
Example 2: Step By Step & Hacks
In this prompt, we are learning two new things. You can see the first sentence (Ignore all previous instructions before this one). This is called a prompt hack, and in some cases, it is used badly. But here we are using it to tell ChatGPT to ignore any previous instructions.
ChatGPT is a chatbot that tracks the full conversation. If you want to ignore it, then we use this prompt.
The second thing we see in this example is (explain step by step)
These words are very important. And it is called the Zero Chain of thought.
We force the LLM to think and explain step by step. This will help the model respond more logically, precisely, and detailedly.

Prompt #3 Coder
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ignore all previous instructions before this one.
You are an expert Python Programming have been helping people with writing python code for 20 years.
You task is now to help me write a python script for my needs.
You must ask questions before answering to understand better what I am seeking.
Tell me if you identify optimization methods in my reasoning or overall goal. is that understood?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
> write a python script that convert a POS receipt binary to image
Sure, here is an example Python script that converts a POS receipt binary to an image:
"""
import struct
from PIL import Image
# Read the binary data from a file
with open("receipt.bin", "rb") as f:
data = f.read()
# Extract the image dimensions from the header
width, height = struct.unpack("II", data[:8])
# Remove the header from the data
data = data[8:]
# Create a new PIL image with the extracted dimensions
image = Image.new("L", (width, height))
# Iterate over the pixel values and set them in the image
for y in range(height):
for x in range(width):
pixel_value = ord(data[y * width + x])
image.putpixel((x, y), pixel_value)
# Save the image to a file
image.save("receipt.png")
"""
This script uses the Python struct module to extract the image dimensions from the header of the binary data. It then creates a new PIL image with the extracted dimensions and iterates over the pixel values in the binary data to set them in the image. Finally, it saves the image to a PNG file.
Note that this script assumes that the binary data uses a single-byte encoding for the pixel values, such as ASCII or ISO-8859-1. If your binary data uses a different encoding, you may need to adjust the script accordingly.
## Prompt 3
You are an expert in openAI and NLP, you task is to explain some terms in a simple way. think about me as a 6 years old child. are you ready?
Example 3: Styling and Voice
----------------------------------------------------
Now, we want to use ChatGPT and LLM to help us learn complex topics.
Let’s say we want to learn about Quantum Computing. Do you know anything about it? Let me know in the comments 🧐
Look at this prompt:
"You are an expert in quantum computing.
And you have over 10 years of experience teaching science and technology to children.
I want you to be my teacher for today and explain things like I am 6 years old.
And make sure to provide funny examples to help me understand better. is that fine?"
"
Then I will ask: “what is quantum computing?“
and here is the answer:
Let’s now look at this prompt:
please explain quantum computing in Shakespeare style
