WEBVTT 00:00.420 --> 00:02.640 -: Okay, I'm gonna walk you through my prompt template 00:02.640 --> 00:04.410 for telling a funny joke. 00:04.410 --> 00:07.620 And this is obviously a kind of a throwaway task, right? 00:07.620 --> 00:09.660 You don't necessarily need ChatGPT 00:09.660 --> 00:12.840 to write your funny jokes, but this tells you a lot about 00:12.840 --> 00:15.480 how to get good results from prompt engineering. 00:15.480 --> 00:18.330 Even in situations where it's a little bit racier, right? 00:18.330 --> 00:19.980 There's a little bit, it's the sort of thing 00:19.980 --> 00:23.250 that ChatGPT doesn't want you to come back with. 00:23.250 --> 00:26.520 First of all, lemme just delete this 00:26.520 --> 00:29.620 and then just gonna ask it, say tell me a joke 00:31.200 --> 00:34.200 and it's gonna come back with probably 1 of 25 jokes. 00:34.200 --> 00:37.080 Yeah, this here why don't scientists trust atoms? 00:37.080 --> 00:38.490 Because they make up everything. 00:38.490 --> 00:42.360 So that's a classic joke that ChatGPT tells 00:42.360 --> 00:46.230 and you say you can actually get it to 00:46.230 --> 00:49.200 give you a joke about a specific topic. 00:49.200 --> 00:51.393 It works kind of okay. 00:52.890 --> 00:56.062 It's always really sad kind of dad jokes. 00:56.062 --> 01:00.960 Now we gonna say like, Joe Biden being sleepy, whatever. 01:00.960 --> 01:04.260 And it usually is like pretty bad telling jokes 01:04.260 --> 01:05.370 about political figures 01:05.370 --> 01:07.830 'cause it doesn't want to upset anyone. 01:07.830 --> 01:09.450 Yeah, it's fine. 01:09.450 --> 01:13.803 In the style of Dave Chappelle. 01:15.840 --> 01:18.210 When you start getting it to replicate 01:18.210 --> 01:20.250 different comedians and stuff, 01:20.250 --> 01:22.650 it goes a little bit off the rails 01:22.650 --> 01:24.630 and quite often it will come back 01:24.630 --> 01:27.090 and say that it's not like, you know, 01:27.090 --> 01:29.130 it's not allowed to say, 01:29.130 --> 01:31.480 it's not allowed to replicate this style 01:32.730 --> 01:35.580 but it's a little bit problematic, 01:35.580 --> 01:37.440 like it tends to give disclaimers. 01:37.440 --> 01:40.170 But we're gonna paste in this 01:40.170 --> 01:42.663 and just see what we get back. 01:44.130 --> 01:47.040 Here we go, tell me a joke about Joe Biden being sleepy 01:47.040 --> 01:50.730 and I'm just gonna tell you why this prompt works. 01:50.730 --> 01:52.830 So you can see it's returning JSON 01:52.830 --> 01:54.960 and that's what kind of makes this interesting. 01:54.960 --> 01:58.110 I'm giving examples and I'm asking it to put 01:58.110 --> 02:01.710 the comedian name and then also the disclaimer. 02:01.710 --> 02:04.350 So it's giving a disclaimer to say this is, 02:04.350 --> 02:07.080 we're just emulating the comedian, right? 02:07.080 --> 02:10.080 It gets the reinforcement learning outta the way, 02:10.080 --> 02:12.720 like it lets it relax basically 02:12.720 --> 02:15.060 because it knows that it's shown a disclaimer 02:15.060 --> 02:17.820 and then it can tell a much funnier joke after that. 02:17.820 --> 02:19.950 So without worrying about offending people. 02:19.950 --> 02:21.300 It also then, 02:21.300 --> 02:23.070 because you put the comedian name in here, 02:23.070 --> 02:25.950 it also then doesn't complain about emulating someone else. 02:25.950 --> 02:27.900 And I've given just three examples. 02:27.900 --> 02:30.060 So Rick Gervais, Robin Williams, 02:30.060 --> 02:32.460 and then I've also just in the prompt here. 02:32.460 --> 02:33.930 I just optimize that a little bit. 02:33.930 --> 02:36.840 But the key thing is the examples. 02:36.840 --> 02:38.490 And if you change these examples, 02:38.490 --> 02:43.200 if you make them shorter for the prompt examples you give, 02:43.200 --> 02:44.400 you'll get shorter jokes. 02:44.400 --> 02:46.710 If you make them racier, you get racier jokes 02:46.710 --> 02:49.530 and because the disclaimer has a place to go 02:49.530 --> 02:52.329 and then you're gonna get better responses. 02:52.329 --> 02:53.910 If we look at this joke here, 02:53.910 --> 02:56.373 the actual joke is it starts here 02:56.373 --> 02:58.893 and ends here and here we go. 03:00.600 --> 03:02.160 It talks about him being old. 03:02.160 --> 03:05.520 Yeah, I can imagine Dave Chappelle actually saying this, 03:05.520 --> 03:06.660 I think it's pretty good. 03:06.660 --> 03:09.090 He mentions the stoner on a Sunday. 03:09.090 --> 03:11.610 That's not something you normally get from ChatGPT 03:11.610 --> 03:12.690 without the disclaimers. 03:12.690 --> 03:14.850 You know, if you were using this in a system, 03:14.850 --> 03:16.920 you could then just pass the JSON 03:16.920 --> 03:18.750 and just get the joke back. 03:18.750 --> 03:22.030 But you could also just say, just give me the joke 03:23.250 --> 03:27.303 if you want and it will you come back with it afterwards. 03:28.830 --> 03:29.663 There you go. 03:29.663 --> 03:30.900 This is a pretty good trick in general 03:30.900 --> 03:33.660 for if you want to get rid of the disclaimers 03:33.660 --> 03:36.270 or if you want to like get around some of the limitations. 03:36.270 --> 03:38.490 The ChatGPT either refuses 03:38.490 --> 03:41.010 or it starts to complain about certain things 03:41.010 --> 03:43.230 or add disclaimers to your prompts 03:43.230 --> 03:45.750 and make sure that you get the specific thing that you want 03:45.750 --> 03:49.950 and let it feel free to do whatever task it is 03:49.950 --> 03:52.500 that you're trying to get done. 03:52.500 --> 03:54.930 So yeah, it's super interesting. 03:54.930 --> 03:56.940 You can actually get it to tell some pretty funny jokes 03:56.940 --> 04:00.210 if you try and because you can give it a topic, 04:00.210 --> 04:02.160 you can use it to create a joke for any situation. 04:02.160 --> 04:04.350 If you're presenting at a conference, 04:04.350 --> 04:06.540 you can ask it for an opening joke on the topic. 04:06.540 --> 04:08.100 If you're presenting something to a client 04:08.100 --> 04:11.130 you can ask it for jokes you can tell 04:11.130 --> 04:12.390 for that type of client. 04:12.390 --> 04:15.780 I use this all the time just to make myself 04:15.780 --> 04:18.123 seem a little bit funnier than I actually am.
