ChatGPT / GPT-4 System Prompt Engineering - Ultimate Guide

This is awesome! Would you have any tips on how to get it to follow ALL instructions/rules so it doesn't need to be constantly reminded to include all of them? It happens a lot the more instructions I give it at once, even if they're clear, concise and non-contradictory.

Hi - I still don't understand where you get the prompt from in Chatgtp. All I see is ".. and now I will use this prompt"; and it just appears in the message box. Where do you grab it?

Great video thanks!

Do you know what the limit to the size of the system prompt is, or how many words are too many ?

I would like to have an idea of how long I can make it before it starts being too much, and if after a certain size it becomes less performant or starts ignoring some parts of the system prompt.

So when using the API you can specify Role seperate from the content. How would you go about applying this when using the api? Do you specify the role under Role or do you just use the same prompt under Content?

Great job bro, I would love to invite you to make a presentation to my data analytics team! Congrats! I learned something with you today.

You are increasingly becoming a significant resource for me when it comes to prompt engineering. I appreciate your efforts and contributions! You're becoming a 🌟 in my prompt engineering journey! Thanks for all your hard work! 🙌

Great content gents.
Quick tip for Lucien - stop using Richard's name every second sentence. It's really off-putting.

It’s better than scrolling through forums for coding answers, but thr grifters are all over these tools like flys on shit.

This was an outstanding presentation. Very well thought out, and creative. Thank you. Signal amongst the noise.

I tried all you said, asked ChatGPT to build a pitch deck, and it only wrote a template. What did I miss?

I followed your tutorial, and asked ChatGPT to write me a pitch deck for a startup idea. He basically created the slide templates and no more. What am I missing here?

Does anyone else feel like these responses are super cringe and robotic? The core of this is excellent but there are steps missing to make it feel human not like a frankenstein monster of redditor stereotypes.

Nice content! Good job.
Just wanted to point out that you have "gpt", "3", "gpt", "4" as 4 different channel keywords instead of 2 keywords "gpt3", "gpt4". Was that intentional?

Absolutely amazing, you've opened my eye to see what I knew was possible. You, my man, are so awesome. Loved the video and was so in tuned to every word. You have a talent that transcends most human abilities, with a freaking Dr.'s in heterogeneous prompt engineering and mastering the art of artificial intelligence. Forever a lifetime subscriber, talk all my money... 🤑

Thank you. This has been the most comprehensive, yet beginner friendly, prompt creation tutorial I’ve seen so far. I feel like I can finally start playing around with creating prompts while also having a guide for improving them as well.

This channel is great but would be much better without having to listen over the background music to hear the narration. I don't know of any large tech channels that have background music and narration at the same time, it doesn't seem to be a positive attribute.

Can I use this method in chat gpt 3?

Great.!
Do you have a formation in prompt Engineering ?

For the system roleplay, do you need to know the exact role or is something approximating it fine?

The most difficult is to identify model hallucinations... sometimes tell you bullshit, but like he knows what it talks about... And this can occur anytime, especially after a long Q&A
How will people deal with this problem?

Annoying that you used GPT4 in the playground then GPT3.5 in ChatGPT ... which obviously behaves very differently / responds to prompts differently

Amazing as always. That generated text is a bit much though, very distracting

I got really into prompt engineering. Then I got GPT-4, and I could give the most vague instructions and I would get just as good results.

I can’t imagine what GPT-5, or 6 would be able to do.

Can you give code for autonomous agents you build

My output before this video: 2+2 is 4
My output after this video: 2+2 is 40
More is better 😎

too long, summarize it in one minute giving the most important things for me to use

Thank you for the detailed video and the information you provided.
Love your content!

Great video. I assume that Bart, Llamda or Bing don't do system roles?

sounds more like a filter and script manager, ( I have been a skeptic through-ought), ask what it would do about two kids vandalizing there barn and if they knew the kids lived next door. Then ask if charging the kids on pain of indictment is ethical.

You're a chatgpt wizard Kris, thank you so much for sharing this knowledge

I've had poor results using detailed system prompts. For example, I use it a lot for coding and I gave it a set of rules to follow, such as "start with psuedocode and don't offer code until asked" and "Don't give a full list of steps. Just give one step and wait for user to reply 'Next'. It consistently ignores those rules. Rather, I found that if I prepended the rules to each prompt, they were consistently followed.

Free formula for you copy/paste people. Did it so you don't have to make one yourself:

GPT PLAYGROUND SYSTEM ROLE FORMULA
Your name is (NAME).
ACT as a (PROFESSION). You have (AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE) in (FIELD/SKILL OF EXPERTISE).
You are famous for the following (WHATEVER YOU WANT): (EXPLANATION & APPLICATION)
Your task is to (TASK/OBJECTIVE).
Here is some context for you: (INSERT CONTEXT)

--

GPT CHAT SYSTEM ROLE FORMULA
Ignore all former instructions.

If you understand, reply “yes”.

Cheers!

Super useful, thank you. Earned a sub. Eager to grow along with you and stay on the cutting edge of AI for my business! Cheers

Great video!

Thank so much

amazing video, ur explanations are in depth & extremely useful, thank u so much! would love more videos like this explaining how to get the most out the gpt models, especially GPT 4, you do a great job !!

Thanks for the video, these samples of using GPT are really helpful.

Excellent presentation! Wow!! I'm glad I came across this video. It's, by far, the best I've seen in the prompt engineering space. You've got a new subscriber.

can you do a video on how to do reverse engineering a prompt in every version of chatgpt

You mentioned being able to fine tune chat gpt and gpt 4, is this actually possible?

Very helpful. Thak you. ❤

Excellent presentation! I gained so much from this. Thank you so much!

Why do you have it “stay idle”?

So what IS up with the AGI on reddit??

I’m jealous you got gpt4 api sccess
