The column is now complete, an unimaginable 30,000 words in 3 weeks.

It all started with a simple wish—to share my GPT methods with you.

Curious Like a Child

Big things often happen quietly. In January 2023, ChatGPT quietly entered my life.

With a new toy, I had to dig deep and explore it thoroughly.

Salvation for the Socially Anxious

I'm a socially anxious person who prefers walking alone. This "flaw" has made me good at communicating with non-human entities, like the plants on my balcony or ChatGPT. Understanding their nature allows for harmonious coexistence, while the discordant ones are eliminated. This is what taming and iteration in the course mean.

Driven by curiosity, I designed many personas to test the impact of "personality" splits, focusing on AI. From MV directors to document organizers, I learned the essence of role prompt design.

A detail GPT didn't lie about giving AI a precise persona and letting it focus on one task, which improves efficiency and makes life happier.

Moments of Surprise

GPT brought many surprising moments, which I’ve shared in the course. Examples include tables, coloring, and images. I love the unexpected functionality beyond text generation, forming a system with Markdown, and each point holds a small universe.

• Emoji: Titles, visual anchors, ⭐️ rating, and comprehensive persona settings.

• Characters: Information separation, compressed expressions, and ASCII art.

• Mermaid: Advanced Markdown for flowcharts, prompt understanding, mind maps, planning, and knowledge graphs.

• Interfaces: Using APIs to connect services, get data, and create automation solutions with GPT-4o.

I’ve tested various codes, especially Python and AppleScript on Mac, and verified the results myself. I highly recommend using GPT for programming, regardless of your coding background.

Due to GPT's unpredictability, combining it with the SII framework brings unexpected fun. Fun can drive productivity, leading to significant efficiency gains.

Engage Deeply, Don't Be a Spectator

After the initial "shock" from ChatGPT, I immersed myself in AI, experiencing it in depth. Embracing new technology without established rules allows for creating your own. Avoid scattered online tips that cause anxiety.

Multitasking: Challenge Your Limits

Contrary to traditional views against multitasking, in AI, reversing this approach can be more effective.

I followed two learning paths: text-to-text with ChatGPT and text-to-image with Midjourney. Playing with Bard and Claude costs nothing. In drawing AI, Stable Diffusion and DALL-E are also available. Prompts connect all these AIs.

1. How to Write Effective Prompts?

To write good prompts, understand GPT's pattern recognition and probability generation. Our course is based on these principles, developing clear and effective prompts to achieve goals through structured thinking.

2. Common AI Traits for Transferable Methods:

• Structured and concise communication helps AI understand needs and reduces interference, achieving more with less.

• Effective negotiation strategies and comprehensive examples train AI.

• Sensitivity to specific expressions. In GPT, Y indicates affirmation, /command=what defines a function; in MJ, “cinematic lighting” produces great visuals.

Leap of Faith

In March 2023, AI news flooded in daily, bringing late-night surprises and morning shocks. With talks of AI causing job losses, I decided to quit before AI could take my job. Facing a midlife crisis, mortgage, and job-hunting stress, finding a new path seemed the best solution.

After discussing with my family, my mother was hesitant but supported my decision to focus on AI as an independent path. Many friends are at similar crossroads. In tough decisions, family support is crucial; everything else is minor.

Writing helped me stop overthinking. Focus on achieving one thing at a time—think step by step.

Becoming a Team of One

As the course ends and mid-year reviews approach, many may face unexpected career changes. In this unique year, economic discomfort is common. With the internet evolving, where are new opportunities?

AI brings hope. Even without resources, you're no longer a solitary individual. Understanding GPT's principles allows you to:

• Leverage GPT’s reasoning for insights and guidance. Remember, it provides references, not answers.

• Use GPT’s central connecting ability to reshape workflows and learning methods, enhancing personal strengths, learning speed, and work quality.

Predicting the future is meaningless; with AI, you can create your own future. This article is for all geek friends.
