Tips for writing prompts to take advantage of generative artificial intelligence
The publication of ChatGPT at the end of 2022 sent shockwaves through the world of computer science, and made the general public aware of major advances in the field of generative artificial intelligence. Since then, many similar services have been available on the web.
With generative artificial intelligence, the principle is always the same: a "prompt" zone allows the user to write a request, and the queried service responds by generating text, images, sounds, etc. based on the request entered in the prompt.
Often, the first attempt doesn't produce the desired result, and the next step is to refine your request by providing more details about what is expected. It's not uncommon to have to try several times to get it right.
