Applying prompts to GenAI/LLMs

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 ...

Using ChatGPT4o to produce the start of a literature review with a comparison table and references.  Prompt 1: You will generate a search and produce a summary table of published papers on the following topic " VR in Higher Education "   Iterate 5 times the following Step 1,;Step 2.; Step 3.; and Step 4.,   Step 1. Search for 3 new papers relating to the topic and add to the list of papers stored;   Step 2, Identifying a Common Features to at least three papers not included in the previous interaction. Each iteration all Common Features are maintained but can be revised;   Step 3. On each iteration from the papers stored revised the following table. The table will have four parts: Common Features , summary the of the Common Feature, identified and included all papers that have Common Feature, all papers that don't match the Common Feature;   Step 4. Add the full reference to all the paper to a Harvard styled reference list ....

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 spec...

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...

Just a quick post on using ChatGPT4o to produce cartoons. The idea is inspired by a tweet by Dr Thomas Lancaster see below First, use a simple prompt to prime the system and generate the main panels. ChatGPT can now generate multiple images in a row. I asked for 8 panels. (2/6) pic.twitter.com/wqz2DyAUFe — Thomas Lancaster (@DrLancaster) June 17, 2024 Slightly modified it to get it to create the images and combine them in a GIF. Prompt 1 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. This should be educational and entertaining. The comic will have 8 panels and the style consistent between panels, You will generate the graphics for each panel separately; as seperate images. using speech bubbles (a maximum of 5 words). Reduce all other textual output to a minimum.  Prompt 2 generate the images and combined the images into a file ca...
