Getting good at ChatGPT

Open book: you may look back at the lessons. Answers are graded on our server, and you can try again as often as you like.

Read in

1. You ask ChatGPT for a cover letter and it adds a job you never had. What is the best response?
Ask the tool whether the job sounds realistic for someone with your background.Keep it but reword it so it sounds less specific.Keep it, since a stronger letter helps your chances.Remove it and re-ask with 'use only the facts I gave you'.
2. You need today's train schedule. Which approach is best?
Use search if available, and open the official source to confirm.Ask the tool what the schedule was last year and adjust it.Ask the same question twice and take the answer that repeats.Ask without search and trust the answer, since schedules rarely change.
3. You upload a spreadsheet and ask 'look at this'. The reply is vague. Why?
The spreadsheet was too small for the tool to analyze.Vague replies mean the file uploaded incorrectly.The request has no specific task or question.The tool cannot read spreadsheets at all.
4. What does turning off memory usually do?
Turns off the tool's ability to search the web for news.Stops saved details carrying into later chats, in most versions.Makes answers more accurate because there is less for it to remember.Deletes your saved chats and all of your account settings.
5. A stranger offers a custom GPT that asks you to upload your tax papers. What is wise?
Upload at once if it has many positive reviews from users.Upload only the pages that do not show your name or address.Share it with friends first so they can test it for you.Avoid uploading sensitive files until you know who made it.
6. A social worker wants help summarizing a case. What is the correct approach?
Follow employer policy and use an approved tool for client data.Paste the case into a personal account but remove the surname.Ask a colleague to paste it into their own personal account.Paste the full case into a personal account, since it is for work.
7. Your language-practice partner mishears a word in voice mode. What can you do?
Assume it is right, since voice recognition is reliable.Switch to voice only and stop reading the text.Correct it and check the text transcript.Repeat the word louder and trust the next result.
8. Which instruction set is best?
I teach grade five. Use short answers first, details only if I ask.Use my full name, home address, job title and phone number in every reply.Answer in a formal style. Answer in a casual style.Be brief. Also write long, full detail every time.
9. ChatGPT reads a price in your screenshot as 48 when it says 18. What next?
Delete the screenshot and ask the tool to guess from memory.Ask the tool to round all the numbers.Use 48, since the tool read the image directly.Tell it the correct value and keep checking other numbers.
10. A student uses ChatGPT for an essay where the teacher requires disclosure. What should they do?
Delete the chat history before submitting.Follow the rule and say how they used it.Say nothing, since the essay is in their own words.Mention it only if the teacher asks directly.
