10 Levels of ChatGPT Prompting: Beginner to Award Winning

Join me on a journey through the 10 levels of prompt engineering techniques. We start with some basic techniques, like basic prompt formatting, then move to more advanced techniques like using personas, the move on to more advanced techniques, like Chain of Thought (CoT).

For my current role, I've needed to squeeze every bit of accuracy, and general helpfulness, I can from GPT-4 and other LLMs. I've spent dozens of hours reading research papers and hundreds of hours prompting large language models - this is my attempt to condense all of that knowledge into 9 minutes.

I hope you learn something from this video. Comment with any questions, and I'll make sure to respond!

Looks like I had reached level 10 prompt mastery. Thank you for presenting this video.

Man if you make a weekly prompt engineering newsletter, i won't waste a single dam second to join it

[zfarahx]

I don’t usually subscribe to new channels, but when I do, it’s because they’re solid. Good job!

[phen-themoogle]

I've actually used all of those prompts coincidentally before, (except the costar) so I subbed just from being happy to see I know what I'm doing lol

[PaulWilsonGroup]

Wonderful presentation. Patrick, you have a gift. The content is spot on. Thanks for the COSTAR info. You're a star!

[saurabhdaswant]

man loved this video learned lot of things thank you so much, subscribed you

[edenbitton]

This is a very detailed and practical video with practical examples. Thanks!

[CornNation]

Excellent video, thank you. I appreciate that your background music is very low and doesn't interfere with dialogue. And obviously the content is informative and straight to the point.

[canuckcorsa]

THE best of this topic I have viewed! Thanks!

[TLabsLLC-AI-Development]

This is a great and straight-forward summary for prompt engineering levels. Fun stuff.

[Paddockclub]

this is amazing, it will be practical to sharpen my prompt.

[QuincyCarl-sl]

Insane value! Also I love the video quality and audio. Could you please tell me the equipment use? Appreciate it! more power Patrick!

[eztheriumz]

I pretty much use the same technique, except for costar. My first thought was STAR( situation, task, Action result) and i sat here thinking what could the CO be lol.

Great video 💪🏼.

[jlzeni]

Good luck with the algorithm my dude, got here from my feed. Great video!

[millionairemom]

excellent. taken notes and off to practice!

[BobSamuels]

Nice podcast, Patrick. Educational and fun. Keep up the good work. Good stuff!

[andrewkitchenmusic]

Instant subscriber as well. Now I wonder what Chat GPT would say about how to plan out a video on how to use ChatGPT prompts to maximise instant subscriber responses!

[andreapuskaric]

Real value. Great content. Keep it up and thank you.

[Plazman]

Great video, thanks! I like your head movements. I've been watching a lot of AI generated talking bots and their head movements are always smooth and weird. Yours are sudden, jerky and unpredictable. Very human-like.

[tejasagrawal]

Very informative. I subconsciously use most of these techniques individually in most cases depending on the expected output. Will try implementing COSTAR but it takes time to write such detailed prompts everytime😅😅
