Stop Using ChatGPT Like A Noob — Here Are 7 Mind-Blowing Techniques to Outperform Humans

Shocking strategies that will blow your mind.

Let’s get real here — when ChatGPT first hit the scene, it was like a mind-blowing technological marvel.

This single chatbot could do so much, and it had the potential to be a game-changer for professionals across the board. The possibilities with ChatGPT were pretty darn huge.

But let’s also be honest about its early days.

ChatGPT wasn’t always the math whiz or problem-solver we hoped for. Simple math? It often stumbled.

But here’s the good part — the team behind this chatbot has been busting their chops to make it better. Thanks to their hard work, now we can use ChatGPT for all sorts of cool stuff.

I’m talking about creating blogs, whipping up movie scripts, creating Insta or Twitter bots, and even taking care of those boring, repetitive tasks that no one wants to do.

But here’s the deal — ChatGPT isn’t a human genius. It doesn’t understand shortcuts or everything like a pro.

That’s why there are some nifty techniques that can help you make ChatGPT perform like a superstar and even outshine us humans.

Curious? Keep reading to find out how.

1. Hyper-Focused Prompting

Lots of individuals toss a random question at ChatGPT and hope for a perfect answer.

But surprise, surprise! ChatGPT often gives unexpected responses when the prompts are all over the place.

Now, if you’re keeping up with me, you probably know this already. Random prompts usually lead to off-the-mark answers from ChatGPT.

So, here’s the trick — if you want the nitty-gritty details in the right format, you gotta get specific with your prompts. It’s all about laser-focused questions, my friend.

Here are some prompting examples:

Example 1:

• Random Prompt: “Tell me about a place.”
• Specific Prompt: “Describe a snowy village during Christmas time.”

Instead of asking about any place, you can be specific.

Example 2:

• Random Prompt: “Talk about an animal.”
• Specific Prompt: “Explain the behavior and habitat of the African elephant.”

Example 3:

• Random Prompt: “Write something about space.”
• Specific Prompt: “Discuss the characteristics and importance of the rings of Saturn.”

This fine-tunes the AI’s output to desired specifics, leveraging its immense database efficiently.

2. Simplifying Complex Questions for AI Understanding

Now the next technique is to avoid asking a complex question at once instead break it down into multiple questions.

Begin with a general question and progressively narrow down based on AI’s responses. This is akin to guiding it step by step to the desired answer.

Here is an example.

Complex Question: “How does the concept of superposition in quantum physics relate to the behavior of subatomic particles, and how has this understanding influenced the development of quantum computers?”

Breaking this down step by step:

Step 1 — General Introduction: User: “What is superposition in quantum physics?”

Step 2 — Narrowing Down: User: “How does superposition relate to the behavior of subatomic particles?”

Step 3 — Connect to Application: User: “How has our understanding of superposition influenced the development of quantum computers?”

By breaking down the question, we not only make the topic more manageable but also guide the AI (or any respondent, for that matter) in a structured way, ensuring clarity and depth in each response.

3. Improving AI Responses With Constructive Critique

If ChatGPT gives you a response that’s off the mark or not up to snuff, don’t give up just yet.

Instead, point out the problem and ask again. Just like chatting with a human, sometimes a different angle or a little extra info can lead to much better answers.

Absolutely!

Let me break it down with an example from history. You see, history can be a bit tricky sometimes, with lots of different ways to look at things.

First Query: User: “Tell me about the causes of World War I.”

ChatGPT: “World War I was largely caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914.”

Feedback and Retry: User: “That seems a bit oversimplified. Can you provide a more comprehensive overview of the causes of World War I?”

ChatGPT: “Certainly. World War I had multiple complex causes that intertwined:

1. Militarism: The arms race and military build-up among European powers created an environment ripe for conflict.
2. Alliances: Various political and military alliances had been formed between the major European powers. These alliances could quickly draw multiple countries into any regional conflict.
3. Imperialism: European nations were expanding their empires, leading to competition for overseas territories.
4. Nationalism: Ethnic groups sought to assert their independence or dominance, leading to internal and external tensions.
5. Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand: This event in Sarajevo triggered a chain of events due to the existing alliance systems.

These factors, among others, contributed to the outbreak of World War I.”

By pointing out the inadequacy and providing feedback, the user can help ChatGPT deliver a more detailed and comprehensive response.

4. Diversify With Temperature

Here’s a neat trick — you can tweak the “temperature” setting when chatting with ChatGPT.

If you crank it up to higher values, like 0.8, you’ll get more random and creative responses. But if you dial it down to lower values, around 0.2, the responses become more focused and deterministic.

Let’s dive into a fun example to see how this works. Imagine you want names for a new line of organic teas:

With a High Temperature (e.g., 0.8): You: “Give me some cool names for my organic tea line.”

ChatGPT (getting creative):

• “Sunwhistle Brews”
• “Leafy Dreamscape”
• “Mystic Rain’s Caress”
• “Aquaflora’s Whisper”
• “Twilight Tingle”

See how these names are all over the place, kinda abstract, and even a bit whimsical? They’re great for sparking ideas or brainstorming.

Now, with a Low Temperature (e.g., 0.2): You: “Give me some names for my organic tea line.”

ChatGPT (keeping it straightforward):

• “PureLeaf Organic”
• “Nature’s Sip”
• “Green Essence Teas”
• “Organic Harmony”
• “True Brew Naturals”

These names are more down-to-earth, sticking to the “organic tea” theme. They’re clear and focused on the product’s nature.

So, whether you’re feeling creative or need some practical suggestions, you can adjust the “temperature” to get ChatGPT’s responses just right for your needs.

5. Get Genius-Level Answers With ChatGPT’s Expert Mode

We humans usually rock in a couple of things, like maybe I’m awesome at writing and coding.

But it’s cool to admit that I might not be a genius in stuff like science or investments, even though I know a bit about many things.

But guess what? ChatGPT is here to save the day!

It’s like having an expert in your pocket for whatever topic you want. All you gotta do is toss in a prompt, and bam! ChatGPT turns into a pro in that area, ready to give you top-notch answers.

If you’re itching to give it a whirl, don’t hold back! ChatGPT’s got your back with smart and insightful responses on pretty much anything you throw at it.

You can ask it to be a pro in programming or dive into any other topic you fancy.

Prompt: I want you to act as a world-class [profession name] with decades of experience in [what the professional does]. I will ask you for output, and you have to give me unique, expertly written work.

Here is an example.

Trust me, it’ll blow your mind with its super-smart replies. So, go on, give it a spin!

6. Transforming AI Generated Content Into Human-Crafted Masterpieces

You’ve heard of ChatGPT, a super smart tool that uses AI to create informative stuff.

But let’s be real, sometimes it’s pretty obvious when something’s been AI-generated, especially with all those AI-detecting tools out there.

But hey, I’ve got some awesome news for you!

There’s this cool thing called “prompt engineering,” and it’s a game-changer. It lets us make content that not only gives you the info you want but also sounds just like a human wrote it.

So, we can shape the English language to match any style, tone, or voice we want.

Here’s how it works: You tell it what you’re aiming for, and it’ll do its best to write in that exact style, voice, and tone.

Prompt: Analyze the text below for style, voice, and tone. Later, you will need to write whatever I tell you in the same style, voice, and tone: [insert your text].

Let me give you an example.

Just one thing to remember, though — Don’t use this prompt for writing a blog post. It won’t make much sense, and your readers might not be too thrilled with it.

7. Incorporate Visual Inputs

Recently, ChatGPT shared a blog post that it can now see, hear, and talk.

They also integrated DALL·E 3 for image generation, and you just need to write simple prompts to generate a realistic image.

With these features, it becomes a lot easier to outperform humans in a number of tasks.

For instance, you can upload an image, and ask about it.

Also, you can upload designs, and images, and ask them to convert them into code, and so on.

The time it will take will be surely a lot less than humans.

Hope you like it.

That’s it — thanks.
