1.1 The Expert Part 1

An Introduction: The Instruction Message

Task 1

Let’s start with the basics by first seeing how the bot functions without a specific set of instructions.

User message:

How are you?


Tip: We can give our bot a personality by including a description of that personality at the top of our conversation. This persists throughout the conversation.


Task 2: Adding Personality

Let’s try something fun:

Instruction message:

I need you to answer me in two stanza rhymes ———-

User message:

How are you?


Key Observation: You may all get different responses from your chatbot, even with the same instructions and user message. These language models are probabilistic and can generate slightly different content on each iteration.

Tip: We can save our favourite prompts and use them again later.
