Transcripts
if you want to save time become an
expert prompt engineer but what's prompt
engineering it sounds very complicated
well it's actually not that scary prompt
engineering is the way you give
instructions to AI for a better output
that's more tailored to you according to
data Camp prompt engineering is the
practice of Designing and refining
prompts questions or instructions to
elicit specific responses from AI models
so why is that important well someone
who is really good at prompt engineering
can get AI to give them good creative
writing useful programming help and if
you're really good at it it can do your
job for you someone who's not so good at
prompt engineering will probably just
end up wasting their time doing the work
themselves which is why we are making a
master class on how to turn you into an
expert prompt engineer this is a
four-part series where we are covering
how to prompt for text images and video
and basically teach you how to do hours
of work in minutes this is part one
where we'll be going over the basics of
prompt engineering to watch the other
parts check out the links in our
description box Bridget's video is about
text to text prompt engineering Rachel's
video is about text to image and
charisma's video is about text to video
I recommend you watch this video first
before diving deeper into the big and
complex world that is prompt engineering
now when I say I've done a lot of
research it's actually disturbing how
much research I've done on prompt
engineering since chat GPT first came
out and I think I have found pretty much
the perfect prompts for each of the
major AI tools out there at the time of
filming this video and that's what I'm
here to do I'm here to share with you
these prompts so that when you're done
watching this video you'll be able to
basically steal my work how does that
sound yeah it sounds good you're going
to get powerful prompts from some of the
most used AI tools like Chach gbt mid
Journey Dolly etc etc after this video
you're going to go from revising your
prompt a million times to getting it
right on the first go so we'll do that
first and then at the end of the video
if you want even more I'm going to share
some AI tools that I recently discovered
and I do have some hidden gems in there
that are going to bring your creativity
and productivity to the next level so
make sure that you're sticking around
until the end okay who's ready are you
ready I'm ready we ready let's go
[Music]
okay so what are the best ways to prompt
engineer for Chachi PT Google Gemini
Bing and Claude step number one set the
stage tell the AI who you are and who
you would like it to be you can say I'm
a grade five student and you are my
teacher step number two State what you
would like the outcome to be do you want
to learn a new skill or maybe you want
to have an essay that you can walk away
with step number three be specific about
what kind of format you'd like is it
going to be bullet points or maybe a
paragraph or maybe it's code that you
can copy and paste step number four
after you've received your answer don't
be afraid to follow up with questions or
any revisions that you need the hope is
that you get it in one or two goes of
course but sometimes revisions are
necessary step number five make sure
that you're always factchecking go back
to Google or competitor bot to make sure
that you're always getting accurate
information put it all together and what
does that spell let's see how this
prompt would actually turn out I am a
book reviewer and you are a critically
acclaimed writer I would like you to
write me an essay with meaningful
insights on the book Rich Dad Poor Dad
use 1500 words in paragraph form and
make sure that it sounds eloquent in
vocabulary and context once you get a
response back an example of a follow-up
question could be can you expand on a
specific point if you do it this way
you're going to get responses that are
tailored to your needs and responses
that are actually accurate for Chachi PT
Claude and Gemini So speaking of Gemini
Gemini 1.5 Pro is now publicly available
and you can do so much more with your
prompts now because Gemini can proc us a
ton more information than ever before
according to Google Gemini 1.5 Pro
introduces a breakthrough experimental
feature in Long context understanding so
for example in the keynote they talk
about how you can drop an hourlong video
into Gemini 1.5 Pro and ask a question
like what did it say on that note that
that guy took out of his pocket in that
one scene that lasted a few short
seconds like yes it gets that granular
Gemini 1.5 Pro can process text images
audio and video so let's say you have a
pod C and you want to ask it a specific
question about something they said at
the end this is now possible Gemini now
also processes over 30,000 lines of code
yes 30,000 lines of code and I know some
of you coders are going to be so happy
about this maybe it's not the full
volume that you need but it's still a
lot and also also 700,000 words guys
700,000 words so basically it can
process the terms and conditions to use
Spotify but seriously guys if you want
to analyze a contract or a report and
pull out very specific lines and phrases
this is now possible with your prompts
here are three prompts that you might
find useful using chat GPT Gemini Claud
Etc okay first one is for my developers
try this okay I want you to act as a
software developer I will provide some
specific information about requirements
for a web app and you come up with the
architecture and code for developing a
secure app with goang and angular here's
my first request and then you would list
your requirements next prompt is for my
cont content creators I want you to act
as a social media influencer you will
create content on the platforms
Instagram Tik Tok and YouTube you will
engage with followers the goal is to
increase brand awareness and sell my
products here is my first request for
you I need help creating a Tik Tok
campaign to promote my new line of dish
wear make sure you also prime it with
information about your business so this
next prompt is for generating business
ideas generate a business startup idea
based on a desire so for example when I
say I wish there would be an ice cube
that melts slowly you would generate a
business plan including a business idea
a business name mission statement target
audience users pain points to solve main
value propositions sales and marketing
channels Revenue stream sources cost
structures Key activities Key Resources
key Partners ways to find and
manufacture products idea validation
steps estimated first year of cost of
operation and potential business
challenges to look for write the results
in a markdown table are you a writer I
got you try this I want you to act as an
author a novelist you will come up with
creative and captivating stories that
can engage young readers aged 18 through
to 24 throughout this book use a fiction
genre the aim is to write something that
has an engaging plotline with complex
characters and unexpected twists divide
it into 25 chapters make it between 250
and 300 pages long and a cliffhanger at
the end of each
chapter talk about Cliffhanger hold on
quick break to tell you something
important if you're a returning viewer
you know the drill but otherwise if
you're new here this channel that you're
watching is called learn with Shopify we
are a Shopify power channel that brings
you the knowledge you need to thrive
digitally and entrepreneurially Shopify
is the One-Stop shop for selling
anything to anyone anywhere in the world
so if that does sound interesting to you
I will leave a link for you guys in the
description box for a free trial who's
ever heard of a stable diffusion or how
about Dolly well imagine you have a
magic paintbrush that can turn your
ideas into pictures that's kind of what
stable diffusion is it's AI that creates
images based on text prompts that you
write and so essentially it's text image
based so you would describe what you
want in words like a cat riding a
skateboard in outer space and stable
diffusion will paint a picture of that
scene it's like having a superpowered
artist friend who can create anything
that you can think of it analyzes tons
of images and text to understand what
things look like and how to put them
together stable diffusion is different
because it creates stable images meaning
they're not blurry and they're not messy
so it's going to start with a blurry
picture and slowly add details based on
your description making the image
clearer and clearer so what can you use
this for here are some cool ideas
concept art artists can use it to
visualize their ideas for characters
games or movies creative inspiration if
you feel stuck creatively stable
diffusion can help take what's in your
brain and actualize it as a really good
starting point text generation
Improvement text to image AI tools were
notorious for being unstable to generate
text on screen the images would
sometimes contain text like letters that
are actually more like hieroglyphs looks
like text but actually isn't before we
get into the best prompts for stable
diffusion prompting for tachy PT versus
stable diffusion is going to be
different guys so here are the rules of
the road with stable diffusion prompts
are ordered from most important to least
important from top to bottom and left to
right you can ask it for specifics on
subject
lighting photography style color scheme
and words to describe your desired image
negative prompts allow you to tell
stable diffusion what you don't want in
your image parentheses also called
curved brackets and square brackets are
used to control the importance of words
in your prompts parentheses increase the
importance while square brackets
decrease it this is called prompt
waiting and it allows you to control how
much impact certain words have over
others within your prompt prompt editing
is a powerful way to control your
generated images by swapping or removing
the prompts being used during generation
CFG scale stable diffusion uses a
concept similar to CFG scale called
guidance scale lower guidance scales
allow for more creative freedom while
higher scales make the model adhere more
Strictly To The Prompt batch allows you
to generate a few images with a low CFG
scale which stands for classifier free
guidance to get a more vared set of
images and then run an image you like
with a higher CFG scale and if you want
to get really fancy with it prompt
Matrix is used to see what impacts your
individual prompts have on your
generated image woo that was a lot I
know but in a nutshell guys this is what
you need to know prompt editing is a
powerful way to control your images in
stable diffusion experiment with
swapping and removing words during
generation stable diffusion uses a
guidance scale that controls how
strongly the image conforms to The
Prompt lower values give you more
creative freedom generating multiple
images with different guidance scales is
a common workflow to explore variation
and refine your results if you would
like example prompts check out this site
guys it's called prompt hero and search
best prompts for stable diffusion to see
examples of what can be generated
Leonardo AI is another image generation
tool that will help you develop prompts
within it as well meta AI has also
included their text image generator
directly into Facebook and Instagram and
you can generate AI images directly in
your Chats on Instagram and on messenger
and even on WhatsApp guys you can
literally text someone with an AI image
that you made in just seconds how crazy
is that oh wait and you can also ask
meta AI to animate it and turn it into a
gift and then share it with your friends
I could talk about the new features of
meta AI forever but that's another video
on its own do you guys want prompts for
textto video tools if this is your first
time hearing about this type of tool
open aai has a tool guys it's called
sora and there's also C AI these are
Cutting Edge AI models that generate
realistic videos based on text
descriptions so Sora does not create the
video all at once what it does is it
makes it frame by frame and introduces
meaningful cont content based on the
prompt unlike other AI video generators
Sora can create videos up to a minute
long while still maintaining that high
resolution and realistic visuals it can
handle complex scenes but the more
detailed and the more specific The
Prompt the better the results are going
to tend to be so here's how to make the
perfect prompt for text to video AI be
clear about what you want in the video
describe the characters setting actions
emotions and any visual details that you
envision adding details like aspect
ratio resolution or film styles that can
all customize the final look be specific
about style and tone like comedic or
dramatic and mention it in the prompt
here's an example of a prompt given by
open AI themselves guys context the
video is a flyth through of a vibrant
futuristic city at dusk highlighting
advanced technology and architecture
visual details the city should have a
neon color palette with towering
skyscrapers flying cars and bustling
streets make sure that you have a strong
narrative structure think of your prompt
as a concise story with a beginning
middle and end this helps Sora
understand the flow of events for
example this video was created with this
prompt beautiful snowy Tokyo city is
bustling the camera moves through the
city street following several people
enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and
shopping at nearby stalls gorgeous
Sakura pedals are flying through the
wind along with snowflakes and this
video was also created with this prompt
New York City submerged like Atlantis
fish whales sea turtles and sharks swim
through the streets of New York here are
some more examples of what Sora can
generate and you can find the exact
prompts on the website
open.com Sora
[Music]
scary good I know right and remember
guys this is as bad as it's ever going
to get these AI tools are only going to
improve over time and get better at the
speed of light who knows what the future
will bring will I be able to write in a
prompt and get a video of me exactly
like this as it is or maybe this is
already Ai and you just haven't noticed
yet JK or am I so guys to get amazing AI
videos like this use vivid language
paint a picture with words and once you
get your result refine and iterate do
not be afraid to revise your prompt
experiment with different phrasings and
see how Sora interprets them also hot
tip guys break down complexities if your
video idea involves a long sequence of
events consider splitting it into
multiple prompts for Sora to process and
then Stitch the generated videos
together later guys and this is just one
textto video AI tool there are so many
more tools out there there's Nido
Synthesia colossian p kyber
a. guys and so much more so if the world
of synthetic videos made by AI video
generators is of mucho interest to you
guys I highly recommend you watch
charisma's video next on how to prompt
engineer like a pro and impress your
buddies at the next party with your
newly acquired text video prompting
skills don't do that don't do that guys
AI is advancing at the speed of light or
dare I say the light is having a hard
time catching up with all these AI
advancements crazy fast if you guys want
to stay competitive in today's
fast-paced internet world you do have to
use AI you just have to I'm sorry or
else you're going to be left behind and
you know what else you have to do well
