Defining Input and Output Requirements
Specifying the types of inputs a function should accept and the desired output format is essential to help ChatGPT understand the task at hand and generate relevant responses. By clearly defining the input and output requirements, you can guide the AI to focus on the relevant information and structure its output appropriately.
Input: Specify the types of inputs the function should accept, such as text, numbers, lists, or dictionaries. This helps the AI understand the data it's working with and process it appropriately.
Input format: Describe the expected format of the input, such as the length of the text, the range of numbers, or the structure of the list. This helps ensure that the AI can understand and process the input effectively.
Output: Describe the desired output format, such as a list, a summary, or a comparison. This helps the AI understand the desired outcome and structure its output appropriately.
Output format: Specify any constraints or requirements for the output format, such as the summary length or the list format. This helps ensure that the AI generates output that meets the desired requirements.
Here's an example of a prompt that specifies input and output requirements:
In this example, the prompt specifies that the function should accept a link to the research paper as input, and the summary should be no more than 300 words. The output requirements specify that the summary should highlight the key findings and conclusions and also be no more than 300 words.
By specifying the types of inputs and the desired output format, you can help ChatGPT understand the task at hand and generate more relevant and useful output. This approach ensures that the AI's output meets the desired requirements and saves time in the process.
