5 techniques to 10x your ChatGPT prompts:
1. Generative Mind Mapping
Asking chatGPT to create a mindmap is a great way to explore the scope you want to create content for. A good first step before long from writing.
Technique:
Specify the mindmap you want then ask chatGPT to answer using this structure.
2. Anchoring the language model
Asking open-ended questions gives very plain text. By anchoring the language model you will get much more specific text and it will be more interesting.
Technique:
Be very specific about what skills, professions, places, and locations you want.
3. Reasoning via Chain of Thought
ChatGPT and GPT-3 have a hard time working out problems since it jumps to conclusions.
The technique
Show it how it should think in steps in order to solve the problem.
It will work out the problem and answer more accurately.
4. Knowledge Prompting for Commonsense Reasoning
Problem:
GPT-3 does not always is the right information when answering and often gives nonsensical answers.
Technique:
Either make the AI generate facts/examples for you or provide background information before asking.
5. Using these examples together we can get GPT-3 to prompt itself.
By first asking what is a prompt we generate the knowledge and step-by-step reasoning examples at the same time: How to write a prompt.
We can now ask for a prompt and GPT-3 generates an anchored prompt for us.

TL;DR
1. Generate mind maps
2. Anchor GPT-3 with names, books, places, or descriptions.
3. Use mental models: Detail out the steps you want the AI to make before the conclusion
4. Show chatGPT how to help itself
5. Combining 1-4 to make chatGPT write its own prompts!
