Applying prompts to GenAI/LLMs

Generated as well by Google Gemini In previous blog posts, I have looked at generating project ideas for project ideas. These can be used with many different GenAI platforms. As an idea/challenge, I want to come up with a way for students to generate ideas for projects based on knowing who they would like to work with and that person's Google Scholar profile. Here is the catch: often, it can be difficult to access Google Scholar to do this. One solution  is to use Google Gemini, a Google product, to access another Google product. Going to apply this to my own profile - ego rides again . It went and did much when I click on it and deep research, it did a full research report. Prompt used :  " Using this as a starting point https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ghQedZAAAAAJ&hl=en from the research here provide 10 project ideas suitable for a final year Computer Science student project with this supervisor. For each provide title, 100 word summary, possible outcome s...

Produced using Google Gemini In two previous posts I looked at using Generative AI to start producing  project ideas and refining one to be the start of the proposal, Previous blog posts GenAI Productivity: Ideas to project proposal 1 GenAI Productivity: Ideas to project proposal 2 This post is really a slightly different variation on those. Playing with adding a few things in. The example can be repurposed for non-computing student but the example came from a discussion with a BSc Software Engineering student, thinking about project ideas Example starting prompt in ChatGPT4o " P roduce 5 project ideas suitable for a BSc Software Engineering students for the following topic: "Ambient Assisted Living" The project must suit someone with a strong interest in programming.  For each idea produce a 100 word description; justification in 200 words why this is a worthwhile project; a set of goals; sources of potential data; physical resources neede d " It does produce 5 pro...

OpenAI has just announced canvas ( https://openai.com/index/introducing-canvas/  ) with ChatGPT as a beta in  ChatGPT Plus . Canvas is an extra interface along with the standard prompt interface which we have got used to.  In an earlier post, I started discussing using Canvas for  reports,  but what about coding? People have been using generative AIs for coding, including code generation from prompts, but what does it do when we use canvas. So let's play. The new interface for canvas does support coding (as does ChatGPT) - could it be a programmer's friend/assistant?  In the example below ChatGPT was asked via an initial prompt to produce a pseudo-code for the start of a murder-mystery style game, but to also use canvas.  What it produces is a form pseudo-code in the style of Python; not a great surprise there, as ChatGPT is not bad at generating Python code. So, can it convert the pseudo-code to something other than Python? The two examples below sho...

OpenAI has just announced canvas ( https://openai.com/index/introducing-canvas/  ) with ChatGPT as a beta in  ChatGPT Plus . Canvas is an extra interface along with the standard text interface for ChatGPT prompts and responses. It feels more like using a featured text editor.  At the moment OpenAI are rolling out canvas to ChatGPT Plus and Team users, then   Enterprise and Edu users will get access next week; with the plan to  make canvas available to all ChatGPT Free users after the beta stage. So to have a bit of a play I put an old document through it (selected the ChatGPT 4o with canvas option from the  ChatGPT Plus drop-down menu), a skeing it to use that document as a starting point for a report. One of the difference is both windows are editable for prompts. So using the lefthand side you can put in a prompt as normal  in ChatGPT but in the right-hand wind you highlight the text and ask  ChatGPT  do action that bit .  You can...

Image created using DALL-E - love the bad spelling I want to explore using Generative AI to explore and compare websites. So I used using Google Gemini because of it its ability to work easily with websites.I choose UK three political party websites purely to compare like with like. Prompt 1: Analyse the following webpages website 1 https://www.conservatives.com/ , website 2 https://www.libdems.org.uk/  and website 3 https://labour.org.uk/ from a web user's perspective. For each website produce a report containing 2 tables. The first Table list issues with the site; for each issues provide at least three examples and then provide a list of potential solutions. Table 2 strengths of the site with each strength provide at least three examples. Add in any commentary Results It produced two tables per website and provided a summary comparing them at the end. Direct political statements were not produce. Now trying out personas and testing the website the politics side not filtered out ...
