Introduction

Hello and Welcome hacker public radio audience my name is … and welcome to this podcast.

As usual I'd like to thank the people at HPR for making this service available to us all on these here inter-tubes. Hacker Public Radio is a community led podcast provided by the community for the community. That means you can contribute too.

In this episode I decided to see if I could get get ChatGPT to write an HPR episode about itself. I was initially reluctant to do this. However, since HPR was recently short on shows and I was rather short on time and ideas I decided to give it a go.

One reason for my reluctance was that I didn't want HPR to be flooded with shows generated by ChatGPT. The other reason being that a great show covering ChatGPT was previously provided by the hpr host "dnt" entitled "Chatbot hallucination". Refer to 3803 https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=3803. In comparison, my poor attempt took about 10 minutes to generate while I was waiting to be called for lunch.

Below are the steps I used to generate the prompt to generate a show for HPR.

You interface with ChatGPT by providing it prompts. This just means typing some text into the input field within the ChatGPT website.

The steps I used to produce the ChatGPT prompt

Here is how I did it. Keep in mind that the complete process took just 10 minutes.

• I visited the ChatGPT website at:- https://chatgpt.org/

• I copied and pasted the following prompt into ChatGPT. The text for this prompt came from the following youtube video: "The ONE ChatGPT Prompt to Rule Them All" by Jason West :-

  • I want you to become my Prompt Creator. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:

    1. Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps.

    2. Based on my input, you will generate 3 sections.

       a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. It should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you),

       b) Suggestions (provide suggestions on what details to include in the prompt to improve it), and

       c) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt).

    3. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised prompt section until it's complete.

ChatGPT responded with:-

Sounds like a fun and collaborative process! What should the prompt be about?

I replied with the following prompt:-

Write a show for the hacker public radio podcast describing the history and use of ChatGPT. Include some examples about what it can be used for. Also include some relevant web links about ChatGPT.

ChatGPT responded with:-

Revised prompt:

Create a Hacker Public Radio podcast episode exploring the history and applications of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT has become increasingly popular due to its ability to understand and generate human-like text, and its applications span a wide range of industries and fields.

In this episode, we will dive into the development of ChatGPT, including who created it and when. We will explore the technology behind it and how it has evolved over time.

We will also provide clear and concise examples of how ChatGPT can be used in various industries and fields, such as customer service, content creation, and chatbots. For example, ChatGPT can be used to generate personalized responses to customer inquiries in real-time, create high-quality content for websites and social media platforms, and power chatbots that can assist with a range of tasks.

Additionally, we will highlight the benefits and limitations of using ChatGPT, including its ability to learn and adapt to user inputs and the potential ethical concerns surrounding its use. As ChatGPT continues to grow in popularity, it is important to consider the implications of using AI technology that can generate human-like text, such as the potential for bias and misinformation.

To provide listeners with more information, we will include relevant web links, such as the official OpenAI website and articles about the latest developments in ChatGPT technology.

This episode will cater to a general audience while also diving into more technical details for listeners with Linux, IT, or programming experience. The article will be formatted using markdown as required.

Suggestions:
