Prompting in ChatGPT and GPT-3 #

Prompting in ChatGPT and GPT-3 can be done in various ways, such as zero-shot, one-shot, and few-shot prompting. Each method offers different advantages and can be very useful in certain situations.

Zero-Shot Prompting 💡 #

Zero-shot prompting is when the model is given no examples of the expected result in order to guess the best result. When applied to an image description example, GPT-3 will generate a result that is usually good, but not perfect.

The fighter exudes confidence and determination, his eyes focused on his opponent and his fists clenched in readiness. The electrifying atmosphere of the stadium adds to the drama, as fans eagerly await the thrilling exchange of blows
