Nonprofit Resilience and AI #8: Iterate your AI responses


Never be satisfied with AI's first answer. Instead, iterate. This post on Medium (which may be paywalled) provides some great examples of second prompts one can use to get a better answer from ChatGPT. Some of the best include:

"Can you give a simpler solution?"

"Make the response less than X sentences."

"When I tried your solution above, I got this error: [INSERT ERROR]." And

"More examples."

These are simple tools that make the machine reflect and modify its responses. Do you have any favorites? If so, please share them with me.

Hello, Reader! Everybody, at every level of experience, needs mentors. It's especially important for people as they become more senior. Many of us feel that we have aged out of our prior mentors. That's where AI can come in. The following prompt is based closely on an idea I found on the internet. IT IS NOT ORIGINAL TO ME (although I have modified the original prompt for clarity and additional insight), and as soon as I find out who originally posted it, I will give credit where credit is...
