Generative Artificial Intelligence Guide

The content generated by AI tools will vary depending on your input – commonly known as 'prompts'. To get the most out of AI tools, try the following:

• Have a goal in mind - Before crafting your prompt, think about your purpose. Do you need a topic overview, a definition, a brainstorming assistant, or a fact-checker?
• Give the AI a personality - You can ask some AI tools to act in a certain way, which subtly dictate the nature of their responses. Use this to your advantage.
• Be specific - State your purpose, audience, format, limits, etc. Ambiguous input can result in unexpected or unwanted content, so the more specific you are the better.
• Keep asking questions - Don't give up if the AI tool does not respond in the way you were expecting or wanting. Instead, reword your questions, or add to your initial request to get a different response.
