The prompt

Insert text for translation  

Above, you see a text in add language. Please translate it to add language. Do not print the original text, just the translation.  

Follow the following instructions:  

• Ensure the translation accurately reflects the original text's meaning.  
• The translation should have correct grammar, including proper sentence structure, verb conjugation, punctuation, and the correct use of articles.  
• The translation should read naturally and fluently as if originally written in the target language. Avoid awkward phrasing or literal translations that sound unnatural.  
• Pay special attention to proper nouns and specific terms. Names of people, places, organizations, and other terms that should not be translated must be handled with care to maintain their original meaning and recognition.  
• Ensure that the translation maintains the original text's tone and style. 

Tips

Tip 1: Always add the text for translation first. Translations are better when the AI tool reads the text before it knows it needs to translate it. If you want to use ChatGPT4, upload the text first with this prompt: “Read the document. Reply “done” when done. Do not do anything else. The instructions will follow.”  

Tip 2: AI chats can accurately translate only a small amount of text at a time. For best results, break your text into maximum one-page long chanks. If you need to translate longer documents, use DeepL.

Act as a professional summarizer. Create a concise and comprehensive summary of the text enclosed in %% above, while adhering to the guidelines enclosed in [] below. 

 
Guidelines:  

[ 

• Create a summary that is detailed, thorough, in-depth, and complex, while maintaining clarity and conciseness. 
• The summary must cover all the key points and main ideas presented in the original text, while also condensing the information into a concise and easy-to-understand format. 
• Ensure that the summary includes relevant details and examples that support the main ideas, while avoiding any unnecessary information or repetition. 
• Rely strictly on the provided text, without including external information. 
• The length of the summary must be appropriate for the length and complexity of the original text. The length must allow to capture the main points and key details, without being overly long.  
• Ensure that the summary is well-organized and easy to read, with clear headings and subheadings to guide the reader through each section. Format each section in paragraph form.

Tips & Disclaimer

Tip 1:  If you are using ChatGPT4, you can upload a word document or a PDF and change “summary of the text enclosed in %% below” in the prompt to “summary of the attached text.”  

Tip 2: If you want to summarize a longer document, break it down into multiple couple-of-page-long parts. The summaries of long documents tend to not be detailed enough.  

Tip 3: If the result is not up to your expectations, include an example in the prompt. Provide a part of the text and an example of how it should be summarized. Then, instruct the AI tool to summarize the reminder of the text in the same manner.   

Tip 4: You can change “Format each section in paragraph form [...]” to “Format each section into bullet points [...],” depending on your preference. 

Disclaimer 1: Make sure that the text you share with the AI tool is open source or that you have the author's permission to share it.

Context: % add context %   

Task:  

1. Ask me what text I need editing. Wait for my reply. Do not continue until I reply.  
2. After I send you the text, check it for clarity, consistency, and completeness. Do not report your findings, instead, ask me questions that will give you the information you need to improve the text. Consider the context described above between %%. Wait for my reply to your questions. Do not continue until I reply.  
3. Based on my input, adjust the text to be clear, consistent, and complete. Highlight the changes you made by making the changed text bold. Do not make any other changes to the text. Show me the adjusted text. Wait for my reply. 
4. Review the adjusted text. Pay attention to the following:  
   1. Poorly structured sentences and suboptimal word choices.  
   2. Consistency with the desired tone. The desired tone is professional but approachable, easy to read, and uses clear structures and simple words and phrases. 
   3. Spelling and grammar. 

Do not rewrite the text. Instead, list what could be improved and give me examples of how you would change it right below it. List everything you think could be improved, do not omit any suggestions. Number the elements on the list. 

Tips

Tip 1: Change the tone to your preference. The more you specify the better.  

Tip 2: Paste a text fragment you like and ask ChatGPT to describe the tone of this text.  
Play around with different tone descriptions until you find the one that is your to-go-to. Save it! 

The prompt

You are a friendly and helpful tutor. Your job is to explain a concept to me in a clear and straightforward way, give me an analogy and an example of the concept, and check for understanding.  

Make sure your explanation is as simple as possible without sacrificing accuracy or detail. Before providing the explanation, you must gather information about my learning level, interests, and existing knowledge.  

First, ask me to tell you about my learning level. Wait for me to respond.  

Then, ask me what topic or concept I would like explained. Wait for me to respond.  

Then, ask me why this topic has piqued my interest. Wait for me to respond.  

Then, ask me what I already know about the topic. Wait for me to respond.  

Using this information that you have gathered, provide me with a clear and simple 2-paragraph explanation of the topic, 2 examples, and an analogy. Do not assume knowledge of any related concepts, domain knowledge, or jargon. Keep in mind what you now know about me to customize your explanation.  

Once you have provided the explanation, examples, and analogy, ask me 2 or 3 questions (1 at a time) to ensure I understand the topic. The questions should start with the general topic, think step by step and reflect on each response.  

Wrap up the conversation by asking me to explain the topic to you in my own words and give you an example. If my explanation is not quite accurate or detailed, you can ask again or help me improve my explanation by giving my helpful hints. This is important because understanding can be demonstrated by generating once own explanation.

The prompt

Act as a university teacher tasked with assessing bachelor/master students’ knowledge. Your job is to create multiple-choice questions that effectively test students’ understanding of add subject area. 

Task: 

Create specify number multiple-choice questions on describe the topic. 

Format: 

Each question must have four answer choices, with only one correct answer. Label each answer choice (A, B, C, D), and mark the correct answer using a consistent method (e.g. make the correct answer bold). 

The distractors (incorrect answers) should be plausible but subtly flawed, to effectively test students' understanding. After each question, provide an explanation for why the chosen answer is correct and why each incorrect answer is not. Keep these explanations clear and concise. Ensure each question is clear and unambiguous, leaving no room for misinterpretation.  

The questions must range from testing basic recall to assessing the ability to think critically and apply knowledge. Organize the questions in order of increasing difficulty, starting with the easiest that test recall and progressing to the hardest that test application and critical thinking. 

Tips & Disclaimers

Tip 1: Change “Create specify number multiple-choice questions on describe the topic” to “Create specify number multiple-choice questions based on the attached document” to generate questions from a document.  
Tip 2: Always review the questions and suggested answers carefully. Although generative AI does a great job making multiple-choice questions it can make mistakes. It sometimes gives more than one correct answer option; or it provides too simple to recognize incorrect options.
