All language subtitles for You’re using ChatGPT wrong

You're using ChatGPT wrong, but it's not

your fault. Whenever a new feature gets

released, self-proclaimed experts share

their best practices to capitalize on the

hype. That's all fine and well, except at

that point most of their advice haven't

gone through enough testing to produce

consistently good results. Let's take

custom instructions for example, A

powerful feature available for both paid

and free users you might have heard. It's

best to be as specific as possible.

Include your values and principles. Your

learning style, The city you live in, the

apps you prefer to use. This is terrible

advice because custom instructions. Acts

like an umbrella that should cover all of

your use cases. For example, if my custom

instructions were super specific and

optimized for writing YouTube scripts,

the relevancy of the chapter PT outputs

for my work and personal life will

actually decrease. Here's what to do

instead. For the first box up top, keep

it simple with three sentences. First, a

snapshot of who I am professionally, I'm

a Product marketing manager in tech.

Second, insert your secondary persona.

Who are you outside of work?In my spare

time, I create online content on these

topics and 3rd my personality

and my interests. I'm all about

efficiency, productivity and self

improvement. That's it. The bottom field

is extremely important and here's a hack.

Find an online creator who's articulate,

smart, capable, charming, charismatic.

Basically someone you respect, admire,

and want to emulate. Let's go with Ali

Abdullah, head on over to his newsletter

page and open up the last two links

1-2, then head on back to

Chachi BT. Start a new chat and input

this prompt. I'm going to share two blog

posts written by Ali Abdullah. Analyze

the blog post and give me a set of

instructions I can use to write in

exactly the same tone, writing style,

humour, reading level and delivery. Here

are the blog posts. Blog post one

paste, Blog post two paste and hit

enter. Obviously it doesn't have to be a

newsletter. It could be an online

articles, LinkedIn posts, or even speech

transcripts from your favorite comedian.

You got to hit the like and subscribe

button if you're also a fan of Trevor

Noah by the way. If not, hit the dislike

button twice. Now instead of copy pasting

all of this into your custom

instructions, pick and choose the ones

you vibe with the most. For example, use

Casual Language Baker Post into

digestible sections. Definitely good ones

to include. Light sarcasm, cheeky remarks

might not be for everyone, right? You got

the idea. Copy paste the ones you select

into the second custom instruction box

down here. Now ChatGPT knows just

enough about your background and

preferences. To provide relevant outputs

for any and all of your use cases.

Moving on, I'm 100% surethose of us with

no coding experience have made the second

mistake with Chachi BT not writing code

to automate tasks. To give some context,

I studied business in college and the

closest I've ever gotten to writing code

is typing in cheat codes in Warcraft 3.

Not not that I needed to cheat to win. I

want every game. I was a pro. That was

great. And yet with the help of Chachi BT

I've written a script that allows me to

click a button in Google Docs. To

generate a new page before every

single one-on-one meeting I have with my

manager and I have no idea what

any of this code means. All you have to

do is to tell Chachi BT hey write a

Google app script for my one-on-one

meeting notes in Google Docs that does

the following. Add a new page with

heading two that says Date today's date.

Add a heading 3 notes followed by three

bullet points. Add a heading 3 action

items followed by a numbered list. Create

a button I can click before every meeting

to generate this new page and not only

will Chatty BT generate the entire script

without you having to make any edits, it

will also provide step by step

instructions on how to implement this for

yourself. I won't bore you with the

details, but basically within most Google

applications you can click on the

extensions menu to open up the app's

script, copy and paste the code GHGBT

generated, rename it, click save

and run the script. It's that

easy. Pro tip You can even make simple

tweaks yourself. For example, this grips

outputs a date whenever you click on the

button and this long date format. Month,

date year I can change this to a shorter

month date year save.

Run We can now apply

for software engineer roles at Google.

You're welcome. Jokes aside, we're now

only limited by our imagination. For

example, I also created a button, Google

Slides that standardizes the font

and font size for all speaker notes,

since different colleagues might copy and

paste their slides into one

presentation. Super handy. By the way,

this video is not sponsored, but it is

supported by those of you who subscribe

to my paid product TV newsletter on

Google Tips. Link in the description to

learn more. The 3rd way we're using Chat

GPT wrong is falling into the first try

fallacy. This is the unrealistic

expectation that we get perfect answers

from Chachi BT after just our initial

prompt. Yes Jeff, I know we should follow

up, but it takes so much time and there's

no standardized framework for following

with catchy BT. It's just too much extra

effort. Good news, instead of all that

extra effort, all you have to do is to

add this sentence at the end of your

prompts. Ask me 5 questions that would

improve the response you'll be giving me.

For example, as a marketing manager, I

pay my vendors in a variety of

currencies. And to keep track of all

these payments in Google Sheets, I asked

Chatty BT is there a way for me to

automate tracking so that even if I input

the amount in its original currency,

there will be a column that automatically

converts the amount to U.S. dollars USD

asking me 5 questions that would improve

the response you'll be giving me instead

of responding to my request immediately.

ChatGPT clarifies its understanding by

asking me questions like hey, are you

cool with using Apps Script? If yes, I'll

write you a script, you know Code genius.

If not, we'll stick with formulas, you

lowly peasant, or other questions like do

you need real time currency conversion?

If yes, we'll use option A, if not, then

option B. After I provide the secondary

round of input ChatGPT gives me an

extremely relevant response. If you don't

believe me, try using the same prompt

without the hey ask me 5 questions

sentence and compare the results. The 4th

mistake I see is what I call the summary

only shortfall, where the majority of

users are still only using chatty BT to

summarize information instead of

distilling actionable insights. For

example, let's say you come across this

article on Holiday shopping insights. You

can select all text, copy,

ask Chatty BT to summarize the article

paste and it'll do a fine job. But there

are two small changes you can make to get

exponentially better outputs. First, to

get personalized insights that are

specific to you. Try this. I'll share an

article below on holiday shopping

insights. How does the information in

this article apply to a Insert your role

paid Media Marketing Manager responsible

for increasing brand awareness?Here's the

article and you paste the article. I'm

now provided with actionable next steps

like focusing on Genji shoppers using

YouTube because more than half of Genji

use YouTube for holiday shopping. Wow. I

guess that's not too surprising. Pro tip,

instead of copy and pasting, paid users

can upload APDF onto Chat GP directly

and the prompts work in the exact same

way. Use case number two is my favorite.

It saved me so much time and it's to have

a dedicated Q&A session with the written

content. Type this into chatty BT. Assume

the role of a Senior Business Analyst

with over 20 years of experience for the

rest of this conversation. I like to

engage in AQ and a session where you'll

provide insights, analysis and answers

based on the uploaded report in PDF

format. If you understand, please respond

with yes. Great. Now instead of spending

30-40 minutes reading this entire report

by LinkedIn, I can simply ask targeted

questions. Hey, does the report provide

any evidence there'll be layoffs because

of AI and chatty BT responds citing what

it has read in the report. I can even

stress test this by asking for something

I know is not included in the report.

Hey, does the report mention AI tools

like Google Bart or Perplexity AI? Since

LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, I highly

doubt those two tools will be mentioned.

And here we see that yes, the report

focuses on the impact of chatty BT, but

the report does not specifically mention

Google Bart or Perplexity. The 5th

mistake I see people making the prompt

overload paradox where we consume a lot

of chatty BT related content. We save

them offline somewhere, but we forget to

optimize or even use those prompts in our

daily tasks. Here's a simple solution,

and no, it's not to click out this video,

you gotta keep watching. One tell Chachi

BT2 Assume the role of an experienced

prompt engineer with over 20 years of

experience. I am a insert your role

working on Insert your responsibility

with the goal of your objective. Give me

10 chatty BT prompts that would help me

become more productive in my job. Step

two pick a maximum of three prompts you

can see yourself using every day at work.

For me that would be this competitive

analysis one for sure. This audience

insight one and this

create a survey to get feedback from my

audience. Then focus on using those 3

prompts that work for two weeks. And

refine them using the perfect prompt

formula on an entire video here so that

you can actually become more productive.

See you on the next video in the

meantime. Have a great one.
