Couple of interesting things week beginning 19th August 2024


A short post on two interesting, well to me anyway, sources I came across this week.

The first,  How to (majorly) boost your communications and content with ChatGPT (fasttrackimpact.com) the full article can be read via the link. Using Gemini to summarise it, the italicised text below was produced:

ChatGPT can significantly enhance your communication strategies and content creation. It can quickly draft content, brainstorm topics, write social media copies, summarize research, and create educational materials.

Key benefits of using ChatGPT:

  • Efficiency: Speeds up tasks like creating slide decks and communication strategies.
  • Creativity: Generates creative and coherent text for storytelling and audience engagement.
  • Versatility: Reshapes existing content for different purposes.

How to use ChatGPT effectively:

  • Clear instructions: Provide specific and detailed instructions.
  • Iterate: If the response isn't satisfactory, refine your instructions.
  • Prompt patterns: Use specific prompts like asking ChatGPT to act as a persona or asking leading questions.

Example: Creating an X thread from a research article:

  1. Divide the article: Break the article into smaller sections due to ChatGPT's character limit.
  2. Summarize: Ask ChatGPT to summarize each section.
  3. Create thread: Prompt ChatGPT to create an X thread based on the summaries.
  4. Refine: Add commentary, include visuals, and edit the concluding tweet.

Human oversight:

  • Verify responses: Ensure the content is accurate and appropriate.
  • Disclosure: Clearly state if ChatGPT was used in content creation.
  • Avoid plagiarism: Be mindful of copyright infringement.

Conclusion: ChatGPT is a valuable tool for enhancing communication and content creation. By following these guidelines and using it effectively, you can save time, improve your work, and reach a wider audience.



The second good bit of news is Lance Eliot, whose articles from Forbes Magazine which have been highlighted in this blog, has two books out:

"Essential Prompt Engineering for Generative AI" available at https://amzn.to/3MgxXde provides a guide to many of the common Prompt Engineering Strategies such as Chain of Thought (CoT) and Imperfect Prompting, along with many others. The language used is accessible and does not require specialist knowledge. 

There is a second book "Advances in Prompt Engineering for Generative AI" available at https://amzn.to/3YYAEro which not surprising extends the range of prompts and it does include two of my favourite ones Chain of Density (CoD) and Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT) prompting. 

I only brought these two books this week so when I have had the chance to work with them, I will share more.

-Tree-of-Thought Prompting is discussed in an earlier post: https://llmapplied.blogspot.com/2024/05/taking-to-yourselves-with-chatgpt-and.html

 - Chain of Density (CoD) of density is discussed in a couple of earlier posts:

GenAI Productivity: Ideas to project proposal 1

One of the ways I use Generative AI with students is to take basic ideas for projects, usually a title, and get these tools to greater ideas and start of a project proposal. This is with all the usual caveats  Check the references (if any); It is going to be basic, so extend it. In this example I am going to use Co-pilot but the ChatGPT, etc can be used, employing a few basic prompt engineering basics: personas (who is the target audience?) and Templates (how do I want it to look?) to start this process. Example:  Project ideas for MSc Data Intelligence students (persona)  on a particular topic. The reply will include subheadings and relevant (hopefully) content for  TITLE, INTRODUCTION, PROBLEM STATEMENT. The prompt: " Taking the topic "Leveraging open-source tools to measure and present academics publications automatically from public domain data.". Give five innovative projects for a Master's level student dissertation in Data Intelligence. Each project example wi...

Analysis of Websites using Generative AI - compare poltical websites usability

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 ...

Creating a 'cartoon' with GenAI - using Google's Gemini

In a previous post  https://llmapplied.blogspot.com/2024/06/creating-cartoon-with-genai.html I played with using ChatGPT4o to produce a GIF based cartoon. In this post I will look at using Google's Gemini to go someway to do this. there will be differences though as Gemini can not - Produce images but can find them online -Can't combine them into a GIF so that would have to be done outside of this. So the prompt The language is British English. You are an experienced comic book designer and a witty writer. Create a guide to being a Computing student in Higher Education in the UK using a comic book narrative. You will use images you find on the web to do this. This should be educational and entertaining. .  The result A Guide to Computing Student Life Panel 1 Opens in a new window www.dreamstime.com student sitting at a computer, surrounded by books and coffee, looking overwhelmed Student: "So, you've chosen to study computing. Brave soul!" Panel 2 Opens in a ne...
