A note on methodology for researchers working with AI systems:
1) Always give the model & date you are using (not “ChatGPT,” but “GPT-4, using ChatGPT, April 22, 2023” )
2) Try multiple prompting techniques, report results for each
3) Run prompts multiple times, report similarity

You can be the world AI expert in your narrow field of focus, because no one else has yet figured out how to best use AI for that situation yet.

Which is why organizations & individuals should be focusing on building prompt libraries encoding expertise. oneusefulthing.org/p/now-is-the-t…
