Welcome, I'm stoked to have you here as we dive deep into the world of advanced text2text prompts.
This Cookbook is all about helping every single one of you generate the best responses from your prompting.
Writing prompts is easy - anyone can do it. There I said it! There’s no mysterious voodoo magic behind prompt writing (or prompt engineering, or whatever you want to call it). It's all about following a few simple rules. So, let's get real about prompting.
A quick Google search for ChatGPT prompts will blow your mind - 83 million results! And don't even get me started on the ads flooding social media, selling bundles of cheap thousands of prompts. Getting prompts is a piece of cake. The real challenge is turning those prompts into mind-blowing outputs.
These days I'm all about experimenting, tinkering, and learning. Sharing my Midjourney prompts here on my Prompt Hackers substack has been an epic journey, and I am humbled by the thousand or so subscribers who chose to follow my prompting. (1,009 at the time of writing!) And now, we're taking it up a notch with text generation too!
But mixing the text2image prompting with text2text prompting is not for everyone. My subscribers tend to gravitate to one or the other, but not so much both.
So, I decided to create a bespoke reference library for text generation as a separate section within Prompt Hackers, giving subscribers the option to opt-in or out of the text2text. And here we are: The Prompt Hackers Cookbook.
Why Cookbook?
You might be wondering, why the name "Cookbook"? Excellent question, and I'm glad you asked.
During my AI tinkering, I discovered a fascinating pattern. I found myself reusing snippets of wording and seamlessly integrating them into new prompts, creating what I call "super" prompts that yield superior and more nuanced output from ChatGPT. As I compiled these snippets, it struck me that they resembled a recipe for advanced prompts. And voila! The Prompt Hackers Cookbook came to life.
What the Cookbook Will and Will Not Do For You
The Prompt Hackers Cookbook isn't about fancy strategies. Instead, it will give you a collection of ingredients necessary to get the best text-to-text AI generated output.
It’s going to show you how to prime ChatGPT to make sure it is ready to give you the best out of it. It’s going to show you all the core ingredients you need to develop the A.I. Personas that you need. It’s going to give you sets of personality traits, cognitive skills and abilities, that can be used to build rock solid prompt-ready scenarios. And yes, it’s going to give you prompts that work with these personas.
