Tips on how to write prompts for better quality responses from 'TargetablePal' & other tools that use GPT models.
Much like using a search engine for a topic, ChatGPT also works in a way where the quality you get back correlates with the quality you put in.
A good way to look at ChatGPT is that it is a predictive tool. Ex/ ChatGPT would try to complete the sentence "The sky is..." with 'blue', 'cloudy', and etc. as opposed to 'pink'.
To oversimplify, imagine you are playing charades -- the better clues you give, the better the answers can be.
Be as precise as possible
Give more clues for ChatGPT to narrow down a better quality answer.

| Who's president? | Who is the president of the United States in 2024? |
| I need headlines for my business. | Give me 5 headlines for my pizza restaurant in New York City that is no longer than 90 characters long. |
Provide reference text
While you can rely on the data that ChatGPT was trained on, providing information or references in the prompt will help keep the responses more accurate.
