Understanding AI Terminology
The input text you provide to an AI model to get a response.
What It Means
A prompt is the text input you give to an AI model to generate a response. Effective prompts provide clear instructions, relevant context, and examples if needed. The quality of your prompt significantly affects the quality of the AI's output. Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting prompts to get optimal results.
Examples
- 'Write a professional email to a client' is a simple prompt
- 'You are a senior developer. Review this code for bugs and suggest improvements' includes role-playing
- Providing examples in your prompt is called few-shot prompting
