How to ask a question to ChatGPT
Specify how many words you wish to include in your answer
You can ask the chatbot to give you a response of 10 words or 500 words (or whatever you want), and depending on it, it will also be informative. Consider that the higher the number of words, the more reliable the information.
Example: Explain to me the risks of global warming in 500 words
Ask me to redevelop information
If you don’t like the first answer, you can ask the chatbot to develop more answers. This is useful when you want to drill down into more detailed information.
For example, after explaining global warming, I asked, “Can you delve further into biodiversity loss?”
Know your limitations
ChatGPT is a technology, not a human being. Therefore, sometimes you may not get information in real time or immediately, especially if it is not an updated version. Consider that it can give you information from previous years, not the latest.
Use it as a starting point, not the final product
ChatGPT can be used as an inspiration tool or initial starting point, but the text should not be interpreted in the form in which it is presented.
For example, you could ask: Give me three ideas for soap advertising campaigns.
You can review your request history
He gave you a great answer a few days ago, but you can’t remember what it was? You can revisit all chat queries. In the left sidebar, you can find requests from the last 30 days. So far, it’s a free feature.
Please let me rephrase my answer
If the chatbot gives you an answer that doesn’t convince you, you can ask it to come back to you and the results will be different. You could simply write: “Can you rephrase your answer?
Ask for information sources
It is always necessary to check that the information is true and up to date. However, to make the job easier, you can also ask the chatbot to tell you its origin.
For example: “Explain to me what nearshoring is and include your sources.”
Add context to your request
If you ask ChatGPT: “What is the capital of Brazil?”, it will simply answer “Brasilia”. But if you ask: I want to travel to Brazil for 10 days with my partner. What can I do and where can I stay? will give you a more detailed answer.
Ask for personal opinion
ChatGPT is artificial intelligence and therefore has no personal opinions. If asked a question like “What do you think of the Republican Party in the United States?” he would not give an answer personally.
English questions
While ChatGPT can answer in multiple languages, English has a larger text size, so you can consider it when asking questions as it can provide you with more information. Also, if you don’t know how to ask in English, you can ask him or her to translate the phrase for you.
