Guidelines to Exercises - AI From Zero - Lesson 5-a: Crafting Your First Smart Prompt

Guidelines to Exercises - Lesson 5-a

1. What is a "prompt" in the context of AI?

   Guideline: A prompt is your way of communicating with the AI, telling it what you want it to do or generate.

Correct Answer: c) Your instruction or question to the AI.

2. Why is it important to use "strong prompts" instead of "weak prompts"?

Guideline: Think about the impact on the AI's output. Strong prompts lead to better, more relevant, and more accurate results because they provide clear guidance.

Example Answer: Strong prompts provide clear, specific instructions and context, which helps the AI understand exactly what you want and generate a much better, more accurate, or more useful response.

3. How can providing context improve an AI's response?

Guideline: Context gives the AI background information, allowing it to tailor its response more precisely to your needs or the situation.

Example Answer: Context helps the AI understand the specific situation or background of your request, allowing it to generate a more relevant and accurate answer instead of a generic one.

4. True or False: Once you ask an AI chatbot a question, you can't build on that conversation.

Guideline: Recall the "Conversation Flow" section. AI chatbots are designed to remember previous turns in a conversation.

Correct Answer: False.

5. Give an example of how you could make this prompt stronger: "Write a story."

Guideline: Consider what details you would add to give the AI more direction for the story. Think about genre, characters, setting, plot points, length, or tone.

Example Answer: To make "Write a story" stronger, you could add: "Write a short wilderness story about a lost elephant calf finding its way home through a futuristic city in the African plains, with a hopeful tone."
