One Point Lessons in Prompt Engineering
Concept: Fine-Tuning the LLM with Prompt Engineering
Visual: Imagine a music player (the LLM) with a vast library of songs (its knowledge). Prompt engineering is like adjusting the equalizer (the prompt) to control the volume of different instruments (text styles).
Action: By crafting prompts with specific instructions and examples, you can influence the style and content of the LLM's output. Here's how:
Example 1: Formal vs. Informal Writing:
Prompt (Formal): "Write a business report on the benefits of solar energy." (Think: Bass and drums down, focus on clarity and structure)
Prompt (Informal): "Explain why solar energy rocks in a blog post for young adults." (Think: Bass and drums up, add a conversational tone)
Example 2: Creative vs. Factual Writing:
1..Prompt (Creative): "Compose a science fiction story about a robot who falls in love with a human." (Think: Dial up the creativity and emotional language)
2. Prompt (Factual): "Provide a scientific explanation for the greenhouse effect." (Think: Emphasize accuracy and data-driven language)
By adjusting the "equalizer" of your prompts, you can fine-tune the LLM's response to achieve the desired outcome.
