ChatGPT is, without any iota of doubt, one of the most commonly used AI-
powered tools. Not only has it overtook some of the most used software
and applications, but it has also changed the way people use AI tools for
work and fun.

Interestingly, ChatGPT is OpenAI’s second product. The first one was DALL-


E, an AI-powered image generator. OpenAI has also introduced a premium
tier of ChatGPT called ChatGPT Plus that offers access to the
powerful GPT4 large language model while the free version runs on GPT 3.5.

So, let us help you get the most out of ChatGPT with the help of some
exciting tips and tricks.
OPENAI

Use simple and precise prompts


ChatGPT isn’t as smart as you think. It needs direction, especially if you want
it to offer a response that matches your requirements. You need to be very
clear about what you ask. You will get unclear information if your prompt
seeks vague or complex information. So, it’s better to break your query into
small sentences that are easily comprehensible to get the language model
to fully understand what you want from it.
Mention the desired format and
style
Since you’re interacting with a machine, mentioning how you want the
response to be drafted is always good. If you want an essay in US English,
you need to say it. If you’re looking for songs in a particular language
sorted in ascending order, a self-explanatory prompt with all the required
parameters will save you precious time.

Similarly, tweak your prompt to mention this clearly if you want the
formatting to be specific too, like a bullet-pointed list. You can even ask
ChatGPT to mimic the response using a person’s style. Give it a go, and the
results will astonish you.

Try to converse with ChatGPT to


refine the output
As ChatGPT is a conversational AI tool, it is designed to communicate with
you. If you’re unhappy with the result and want to tweak it slightly, you can
ask the chatbot to do so as if you’re talking to someone.

It is smart enough to understand your references and can save you some
time from retyping the whole query again. Moreover, conversing with
ChatGPT might explain why you’re getting incorrect or improper responses.
Then, you can guide the AI to reproduce any output that might have gone
sideways and correct course. 

Use it as a translator
OPENAI

ChatGPT is an excellent and free translator. Since it is designed to offer


contextual responses, it will do a much better job than Google Translate.
You can use it to translate the work email you just received from a
colleague or a business partner, and if you’re unsure of the exact meaning
of phrases and sentences, ask ChatGPT to translate the text in your
preferred language. You’d be surprised how efficient and powerful this tool
is.

You can also use ChatGPT’s translation feature to understand poems, books,
articles, or other literary works to get the more profound meaning often lost
in Google’s word-to-word mechanical translation. 
Experiment with different prompts
Often we’re unable to express ourselves adequately. We might want to
convey something else but end up saying something different altogether.
This can happen with ChatGPT as well. However, if you are unsure of the
response that you’ve got, you can always ask it to regenerate the response
using an alternate prompt.

Experiment with different prompts until you can optimize ChatGPT’s


response to your liking.

Breakdown a complex problem


into various steps
If you’re looking for a response to a complex query, you can break it down
into multiple steps and keep prompting ChatGPT to refine the solution
based on the desired outcome.

This will ensure that the chatbot will answer correctly in your defined
process. This can be especially useful if you want ChatGPT to build you a
calendar, for a project, or if you want the AI to produce code for you.

Break the limit-barrier


If you’ve asked ChatGPT to write a 1200-word output, due to the limitations
of a free account, it might wind up being shorter. It will even provide a
concluding paragraph suggesting that the output was complete.
However, you can always bypass this limitation by saying, “Go on,” and the
chatbot will continue from where it left off, giving you a more detailed
answer. 

Bypass its limitations

While ChatGPT is designed to respond to whatever is asked, specific tasks


are out of bounds, and the chatbot will deny responding to these prompts.

However, you can also jailbreak ChatGPT to produce content that it’s
otherwise not supposed to. This can be done via contextualizing it as a
hypothetical question. We’ve dived deep into this topic here. 
Use ChatGPT as an editor
If you’ve written a paragraph or an essay as a part of your assignment or
want to send an all-important email, you can ask ChatGPT to rectify
grammar mistakes, correct your tone, and improve the overall structure.

This will save you from embarrassment at the office or college and even
some money that a professional editor might charge.

You can even ask ChatGPT to suggest the title for your articles or the
subject for your emails and choose the one that best fits your style and
context.

Fact-check the data provided


ChatGPT has been trained on the data from the internet. Since humans feed
most online data, it can be factually incorrect, depending on how you’ve
asked ChatGPT to look at it.

It’s always advisable to fact-check the numbers or solutions for their


authenticity. 

Never copy and paste


ChatGPT can create outline structures for articles, essays, emails, resumes, or
cover letters. You can even ask it to write the stuff for you, but it’s advisable
to use this as a guideline and create fresh content.

There is a chance that the solution offered to you is plagiarized from


somewhere else. Following these best practices and due diligence is always
reasonable, as plagiarized content could leave a wrong impression or prove
costly at work or while you’re in education.
The responses generated by ChatGPT might also need editing for grammar
and spelling. Do not hesitate to use other AI-powered tools like Grammarly
or Google Documents to highlight these errors.

Generate prompts for other AI


tools

MIDJOURNEY

Remember that ChatGPT isn’t the only AI tool that you might use. There are
other tools like Midjourney or OpenAI’s Dall-E image generator. You can
always ask ChatGPT to create prompts for these AI image generators. You
might end up making something unique and exciting.
