00:00.000 --> 00:01.650
-: So the next technique you're gonna learn about

00:01.650 --> 00:04.020
is a technique called role prompting.

00:04.020 --> 00:06.519
Basically, this means that you tell ChatGPT

00:06.519 --> 00:08.610
to take on a role.

00:08.610 --> 00:10.830
This will affect the responses that you get back

00:10.830 --> 00:13.560
and can help you to create a diversity of responses

00:13.560 --> 00:16.140
rather than just a vague ChatGPT.

00:16.140 --> 00:17.400
The idea is you tell it,

00:17.400 --> 00:20.730
for example, you are Shakespeare, an English writer,

00:20.730 --> 00:21.884
write me a poem,

00:21.884 --> 00:23.700
and the output that you're gonna get back

00:23.700 --> 00:25.770
is gonna be a lot more diverse

00:25.770 --> 00:28.650
and specialized towards that type of role.

00:28.650 --> 00:30.240
Let's have a look at a real example.

00:30.240 --> 00:35.240
We're gonna say, act as a senior copywriter working

00:35.580 --> 00:39.960
at an advertising agency.

00:39.960 --> 00:44.673
You are a 10x writer and make really great content.

00:47.490 --> 00:52.490
Can you write a small social media post

00:52.950 --> 00:55.713
about digital marketing?

00:57.990 --> 01:01.260
And so what we've done here is we've told ChatGPT

01:01.260 --> 01:04.440
to take on a role of a senior copywriter.

01:04.440 --> 01:06.840
And you can see here that the copy is a lot different

01:06.840 --> 01:08.820
than if we just ask ChatGPT

01:08.820 --> 01:12.150
to write a social media post on digital marketing.

01:12.150 --> 01:13.530
So the idea behind role prompting

01:13.530 --> 01:17.580
is that you will lock ChatGPT into a different latent space

01:17.580 --> 01:19.560
by telling it to take on a role.

01:19.560 --> 01:21.540
You can use this whenever you're trying to experiment

01:21.540 --> 01:23.100
with different types of outputs

01:23.100 --> 01:25.530
and trying to figure out how you can create a unique style.

01:25.530 --> 01:28.680
I'll also put a link in this video with a GitHub repository,

01:28.680 --> 01:31.590
which has a bunch of awesome ChatGPT role prompts.

01:31.590 --> 01:33.180
And you can see in here if we scroll down

01:33.180 --> 01:34.860
and have a look at this, for example,

01:34.860 --> 01:38.250
act as a Linux terminal or act as a job interviewer

01:38.250 --> 01:39.990
or act as an Excel sheet.

01:39.990 --> 01:41.490
So there's lots of different roles

01:41.490 --> 01:43.380
that you could get ChatGPT to take on.

01:43.380 --> 01:45.300
So feel free to have a look at this additional resource

01:45.300 --> 01:46.410
if you're interested in seeing

01:46.410 --> 01:48.330
how you might apply role prompting

01:48.330 --> 01:50.310
to a variety of situations.

01:50.310 --> 01:51.953
Cool, I'll see you in the next one.
