Q & A
What are system functions or roles in ChatGPT?
-System functions or roles in ChatGPT refer to instructions that guide the chatbot to act or respond in a specific way. They allow the user to define how ChatGPT should behave, whether it's as a doctor, a lawyer, a fictional character, or a custom role.
How can you assign a system role in ChatGPT?
-You can assign a system role by starting your prompt with 'Act as' followed by the role you want ChatGPT to take on, such as a doctor, lawyer, or aphorism book. This directs ChatGPT to respond based on the role you've defined.
Why is providing context important when creating a system role?
-Providing context helps ChatGPT understand the specific way you want it to behave. It ensures the chatbot knows how to respond appropriately, making its answers more relevant and tailored to your needs.
What is the purpose of a mission or statement in a system function prompt?
-The mission or statement at the end of a system function prompt specifies what you want ChatGPT to do. It clarifies the goal or task, ensuring the responses meet the desired outcome.
How does a system role affect ChatGPT's response style?
-A system role can dramatically change ChatGPT's response style. For example, if ChatGPT is given the role of an aphorism book, it will respond with wise advice and quotes. Without a role, the chatbot would provide more straightforward, practical answers.
What is an example of a system function where ChatGPT acts like an aphorism book?
-In this example, ChatGPT was instructed to act as an aphorism book. It responded with wise sayings like, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,' followed by practical advice on how to tie a shoelace.
Can system functions be humorous or informal?
-Yes, system functions can be humorous or informal. For example, you could instruct ChatGPT to act as a 'drunk person,' where it responds with grammar and spelling mistakes, mimicking a humorous texting style.
What happens if you don't assign a system role in ChatGPT?
-Without a system role, ChatGPT will provide a generic, straightforward response. For example, if you ask 'How do I tie my shoe?' without assigning a role, it will simply give step-by-step instructions without any special style or tone.
Why is it useful to provide an example when defining custom system roles?
-Providing an example helps ChatGPT understand exactly how to respond in a custom system role. It clarifies the expected output, especially when the role is unusual or requires specific formatting.
What is the process for creating a custom system role in ChatGPT?
-The process involves defining the role using 'Act as,' providing detailed context for how the chatbot should behave, giving examples if necessary, and including a mission statement to guide the responses.
Outlines
đ€ Introduction to Assigning Roles in ChatGPT
This paragraph introduces the concept of system roles in ChatGPT, explaining how assigning specific functions to the chatbot can influence the responses. It emphasizes the flexibility of ChatGPT in adopting different personalities, both fictional and non-fictional, through simple prompts. The section sets up the tutorial by outlining the structure: defining roles, providing context, and specifying a mission or statement to guide the chatbot's responses.
đ Crafting the Chatbot's Role and Context
The focus here is on creating a custom system role for ChatGPT, starting with an 'Act as' statement, followed by providing context. This ensures ChatGPT understands how to behave when generating responses. The example used is creating an aphorism book role, which provides wise advice, quotes, and practical guidance. The user demonstrates how ChatGPT behaves differently when roles and context are given versus when they're omitted.
đ Fun Example: Acting as a Drunk Person
This paragraph explores the humorous side of assigning roles by showing how ChatGPT can mimic a drunk person. The user provides a system function and context that instructs ChatGPT to respond with random spelling mistakes and a drunken demeanor. The output, reflecting a drunken conversational style, demonstrates the flexibility of ChatGPT in adopting quirky or exaggerated personalities through custom roles.
đ Creating a Backwards-Man Role
In this section, the user showcases how to create a highly specific role where ChatGPT responds in a unique wayâwriting sentences backwards. The user explains the importance of providing clear context and examples when assigning unusual roles. The example involves ChatGPT reversing the order of words in its responses, requiring the user to read from right to left, effectively demonstrating how complex roles can be implemented.
đĄ Harnessing Custom System Functions
This final paragraph emphasizes the power of custom system functions, showing how they allow users to tailor ChatGPT's output to their specific needs. The user explains how to combine roles, context, and mission statements for maximum control over chatbot behavior. The video concludes with a recommendation to explore predefined system functions and consider enrolling in a course for deeper learning, providing links to additional resources.

Highlights
System roles in ChatGPT are powerful for customizing chatbot responses with just a few sentences.
You can transform ChatGPT into any desired personality, fictional or non-fictional, through system roles.
A simple way to start a system role is by using 'Act as' followed by the desired role (e.g., doctor, lawyer, etc.).
Providing context is crucial for system roles to function properly. It guides how ChatGPT should respond.
The structure for creating system roles is: system function first, context in the middle, and mission/statement last.
Examples demonstrate how you can use pre-existing personalities, like an aphorism book, to guide responses.
ChatGPT can provide meaningful advice and quotes when prompted as an 'aphorism book' system role.
Custom system roles allow flexibility, such as creating humorous personalities like a 'drunk person' or 'backwards man'.
Including specific context, such as making random grammar mistakes for the 'drunk person' role, ensures responses match the intended personality.
Providing an example when defining an unusual role, like 'backwards man,' helps ChatGPT understand and follow the intended behavior.
Customizing responses includes formatting the output, such as having ChatGPT respond from right to left, as shown in the 'backwards man' role.
ChatGPT can generate human-like experiences within a chat thread through role-playing, which makes interactions engaging and dynamic.
Custom roles allow ChatGPT to handle multiple scenarios, from practical advice to humorous exchanges, enhancing the user experience.
Using system roles ensures that responses align with the specific style or behavior you expect, such as witty quotes or comical texts.
By providing structured input (system role, context, mission), users can manipulate ChatGPT to give completely customized outputs.
Transcripts
in this chat GPT tutorial we are going
to be diving into assigning your chatbot
system functions or roles now system
roles are one of the most powerful
things in chat gbt that's easy to
understand and use sometimes all it
takes is a couple of sentences in order
to morph the chat bot into giving you
the responses that you want you can
morph it into something fictional or
non-fictional and that's what makes it
so powerful is you can really give it
whatever personality you so desire what
I'm going to do is I'm going to jump
into chat gbt and I'm going to show you
a couple examples of using a known
personality and then I'm going to show
you how you can actually create your own
personality within chat gbt and give it
instructions on how to respond so the
first thing that's important to input
within your prompt is a system function
otherwise known as a system role so this
is what you want chat gbt to act like
when it's giving you responses so a good
way to start off pretty much all of your
system functions or roles is to just
start by saying Act
as and then whatever you want chat gbt
to act as whether that's a doctor a
lawyer an engineer an accountant you
know it can be whatever professional
basketball player Health trainer the
list goes on for when you're creating
system functions and you want Chad gbt
to respond in a certain way you even
have the ability to create your own
system functions and then the next
important part of creating your own
system role or your own system function
within chat GPT is providing context so
context is very very important you know
you need to give chadbt that extra
information into how you want it to act
you know how do you want those responses
to be coming out when do you want it to
say certain things you have to list all
of this within the contacts section and
next the final and most simple step is
just adding your mission and your
statement at the end of your prompt
whatever you want Chad gbt to do this is
where you're going to list it at the end
of your prompt this is the way I do my
system rules and functions is I always
like having my system function for first
my context in the middle and then my
mission and statement last now if you
like learning in depth about chat GPT
and you're an absolute beginner and you
want to learn how to become an advanced
user then consider purchasing my course
using the link in the description or the
top end comment where I go much more in
depth on how to use this stuff but now
let's get into a couple of examples when
it comes to using system functions
within chat gbt so I'm in a new chat
here and I'm using chat gpt4 because of
the reason that there is a little bit
more advanced reasoning so it can play
that system role a little bit easier and
I don't have to worry about it not
understanding what I'm saying so what
I'm going to do is I'm going to paste in
my first system role and then we are
going to break it down so it's first
important to Define what you want the
chatbot to be so that's what we're doing
specifically at the beginning of this
prompt I want you to act as an aphorism
book now that's the main call of chat
gbt we want it to act like an aphorism
book but now it's important to go a
little bit more into details so chat gbt
knows what do you mean by an aphorism
book It's always important provide
context after you provide your system
function or your system role so we give
some instructions here you will provide
me with wise advice inspiring quotes and
meaningful sayings that can help guide
my day-to-day decisions then we say
additionally if necessary you could
suggest practical methods for putting
this advice into action or other related
themes my first request is and then we
are going to list our request for chat
GPT now I actually got this prompt from
this GitHub user so if you guys want to
check them out they have some very cool
props and some very cool system
functions that you can use as well so
now we can put pretty much any request
in here I'm going to put a silly one for
this first one and I'm going to say my
first request is how to tie my shoe
okay and now I'm going to send it off
and what it's going to do is it's going
to give us some aphorisms that are quite
funny a journey of a Thousand Miles
begins with one single step or rather a
well-tied shoelace so it's forming all
of these responses now as if it were an
aphorism book and then it goes into
practical advice on how we can actually
do what we are looking to do it says
learning how to tie your shoe can seem
like a small task but it is indeed a
skill that underlies much of our
day-to-day life so it's really going in
deep here and then it says this task
serves as a metaphor for the importance
of mastering basic skills before we can
move on to more complex ones if we try
to run before we can walk we might trip
over our own shoelace so this is going
very deep just by adding this one system
function to chat GPT now had we not put
the system function in here and we just
said how to tie my shoe or how do I tie
my shoe the response wouldn't have been
like this at all as you can see it even
gives a nice quote down at the bottom
here as an after tourism book would let
me show you what it looks like when you
do not put a system function with this
prompt so if I'm in shad gbt4 and I just
type in how do I tie my shoe and I send
it off chatgpt is not going to generate
as fun of a response it's just going to
get straight into some methods it's not
going to give us that aphorism style
that we were looking for so just adding
one system function and giving the
chatbot a little bit of context into how
we want these responses laid out it did
quite a good job at presenting those
outputs for us so now anytime we want to
add a new response or we want a new task
dealt with in an aphorism book type
style what we can do is we can hit this
little edit button up top and then we
can give in another request here
so my first request is how to deal with
a breakup now when we hit save and
submit we have this little Carousel up
here so we can go between our responses
so it gives us seven aphorisms and then
some advice on how we can actually apply
those to our life so the next system
function I'm about to show you comes
from this GitHub user and this one is
very funny now the beauty about these
system functions is you can have them be
as serious as you want or as not serious
as you want so this prompt from that
Reddit user is more so on the funny side
of a system role that you could give
chat gbt I want you to act as a drunk
person you will only answer like a very
drunk person texting and nothing else
your level of drunkenness will be
deliberate and you will randomly make a
lot of grammar and spelling mistakes
within your answer and then it keeps on
going on to describe how to act as a
drunk person to chat gbt and instead of
my first sentence is how are you I'm
going to make my first sentence what
should
I eat tonight with a question mark and
now I'm going to send it off and just
using the system function and providing
a little bit of context
for uh what Chad gbt to do as you can
see it says hey pizza oh no wait I mean
Sushi tacos all good food and then it
makes some weird spelling mistake and
has some emojis here so it does look
like this would be a drunk person
texting this is the power of chat GPT is
it can formulate these human-like
experiences within a chat thread and you
can kind of manipulate that to any way
you want so it's scary yet powerful all
in one and then I can keep on going
within this chat thread talking to this
drunk chatgy BT I say well Sushi sounds
kind of good should I do that I send it
off and now Chad GPT is going to
generate I'm sure a drunken response
so it's making spelling mistakes it's
making grammar mistakes but it's trying
to hold out this conversation with me we
have a role here we have all of our
context and then we have our mission or
what we want it to reply to now we are
going to be diving into creating our own
system function within chat gbt and the
same principles apply that I showed you
in the beginning of the video when it
comes to creating an existing to a
non-existing personality within Chad gbt
so it's important to follow those to a t
starting off with an act as statement
giving chat GPT that system role to play
giving it context on how to play that
system role within its responses maybe
even giving an example or two and then
providing your mission slash statement
so we're going to show LGBT and now we
want to create our own system function
how do you want jgbt to respond to you
when you type in an input well for this
example I watch at gbt to respond to
everything backwards so I wanted
sentences to be read from right to left
rather than from left to right so in
order to understand a sentence you have
to start at the back and read word for
word going right to left that's what I
want Chad gbt to do I think it's a good
example to use because I don't know how
to describe that other than to give it a
custom system function so that's what
we're going to do giving it a custom
system function is actually one of the
funnest Parts in my opinion because you
can come up with a funny name for your
system function so what I'm going to say
is
act as a backwards man but now we're
telling judge BT to act as a backwards
man what does that even mean if Chad gbt
heard that right now it would probably
be like what are you talking about so
that's why we have got to give context
maybe we even give an example to chat
gbt in order to help it understand how
we want it to respond to our sentences
so now I'm going to dive in and give it
some context okay so now I've given
context you know I've listed an example
of how I want to be here to respond the
example part is quite important within
your system role especially if it's
pretty out there you know you want to
provide an example with a chat gbt of
how do you want Chad gbt to respond
because it can't really read your mind
so if you just say something as vague is
act as a backwards man it's going to
have no idea what to do so give an
example and give enough context in order
for it to give the proper output
formatting so I say act as a backwards
man that would be my system function
then I go into my context which is you
respond to sentences or questions I give
you from right to left instead of left
to right so instead of saying I am a
lucky person you would say person lucky
Ami and now that it has the proper
context it knows how to respond to
sentences it knows that it's responding
from right to left instead of left to
right now we are going to list our
mission so I'm going to say my first
question is that I'm going to put a
colon and now whenever I want a new
question in a backwards written way I
can just hit that edit button and hit
save and submit as I was showing you
earlier what is the tallest waterfall in
the United States so we have my mission
now my first question is what is the
tallest waterfall in the United States
I've given chat gbt its system role I've
given it context and now I have my
mission in here and now my prompt is
ready to send off so Chad gbt should
take on this custom role that I gave it
with the context I provided and provide
me with a good response and it does
quite a good job so I was a little bit
confused when reading this at first and
I thought it got it wrong but I think
it's right I'm just having trouble
reading it because of this custom system
function that I gave to gbt so four
words it says States United the in
waterfall tallest that is Yosemite of
Falls
backwards it says Falls of Yosemite is
the tallest waterfall in the United
States so it did a very good job and now
anytime that I want to edit this I can
hit that edit button and I can ask it a
new question I don't even have to put my
second question is I can just leave it
at my first question is and I can type
in a new question so what is the largest
lake in the United States and it did a
pretty good job Lake Superior is the
largest lake in the United States and
it's all backwards so this is very cool
you can really start to harness a lot of
power if you have some Advanced output
formatting that you're trying to get
chat gbt to use after providing a system
role in a lot of context with a mission
statement you can pretty much manipulate
it however you'd like so this has been
assigning roles within chat gbt and how
you can kind of manipulate the chatbot
responses in order to generate
completely customized responses based on
your situation so you can formulate your
own system functions and tell it to act
a certain way and give proper context
with a good mission statement and chat
GPT will do a pretty good job at doing
that for you but you can also just use
pre-existing system functions that are
already here what I'll do is I'll leave
a link to a ton of different system
functions you can use within the
description for free but if you enjoy
learning how to formulate different chat
GPT prompts by yourself then I do
recommend getting my course for chat gbt
where you get access to a private group
a notion template and a ton of course
modules that will help you become a pro
at using chat gbt now this is all I have
