Introduction

Hello and Welcome hacker public radio audience my name is … and

welcome to this podcast.

As usual I'd like to thank the people at HPR for making this service

available to us all on these here inter-tubes. Hacker Public Radio is a

community led podcast provided by the community for the community. That

means you can contribute too.

In this episode I decided to see if I could get get ChatGPT to write

an HPR episode about itself. I was initially reluctant to do this.

However, since HPR was recently short on shows and I was rather short on

time and ideas I decided to give it a go.

One reason for my reluctance was that I didn't want HPR to be flooded

with shows generated by ChatGPT. The other reason being that a great

show covering ChatGPT was previously provided by the hpr host "dnt"

entitled "Chatbot hallucination". Refer to 3803 https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=3803.

In comparison, my poor attempt took about 10 minutes to generate while I

was waiting to be called for lunch.

Below are the steps I used to generate the prompt to generate a show

for HPR.

You interface with ChatGPT by providing it prompts. This just means

typing some text into the input field within the ChatGPT website.

The steps I used

to produce the ChatGPT prompt

Here is how I did it. Keep in mind that the complete process took

just 10 minutes.

I visited the ChatGPT website at:- https://chatgpt.org/

I copied and pasted the following prompt into ChatGPT. The text

for this prompt came from the following youtube video: "The ONE ChatGPT

Prompt to Rule Them All" by Jason West :-

I want you to become my Prompt Creator. Your goal is to help me

craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by

you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:

Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be

about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through

continual iterations by going through the next steps.

Based on my input, you will generate 3 sections.

a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. It should be clear,

concise, and easily understood by you),

b) Suggestions (provide suggestions on what details to include in the

prompt to improve it), and

c) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what

additional information is needed from me to improve the

prompt).

We will continue this iterative process with me providing

additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised

prompt section until it's complete.

ChatGPT responded with:-

Sounds like a fun and collaborative process! What should the prompt

be about?

I replied with the

following prompt:-

Write a show for the hacker public radio podcast describing the

history and use of ChatGPT. Include some examples about what it can be

used for. Also include some relevant web links about ChatGPT.

ChatGPT responded with:-

Great! Based on your input, here are the revised prompt, suggestions,

and questions for further clarification:

Revised prompt:

Create a Hacker Public Radio podcast episode that explores the

history and applications of ChatGPT. Share examples of how ChatGPT can

be used and include relevant web links for listeners to learn more.
