-: Next let's get to another real world example
where I use ChatGPT to help me write a course description.
And we've talked about priming earlier in the course
of feeding it a specific set of data
so that it learns what kind of style, syntax, language,
and tone you want to replicate.
So let's hop into this example.
So we have one of my past courses on Udemy,
and there's the description section for every single course.
And I found a layout that works really well of starting
with a question telling people, okay, perfect
if these questions align with you,
you found the right course.
Here's what you're gonna learn by the end of the course,
the different chapters with a paragraph
that explains the chapter, followed by bullet points
that just go into more granular detail about each chapter.
And that's kind of the formula.
Oh, and then technically we talk about the biggest goal
for you from the course
and just a few other little tidbits about the information
and details and specifics of the course.
And because this is a very intensive process,
this is a lot of copy, and every other year
and every other time that I've created these,
they've always been from scratch.
Of course, I kind of copy and paste my template,
but I'm rewriting the whole thing from scratch.
There's no shortcut, even if I have a template
that I've used before.
So what I was curious of was how much can ChatGPT help me
with this process?
So as an exploration, here's what I did.
I said use the description for one of my past courses
as a framework.
In the upcoming prompts
I'd like for you to take the speaking style
and layout of the example text
and apply that to a new description that I need
you to generate for another course.
Is that understood?
ChatGPT, yes understood.
You'd like for me to keep the same style
and layout of the given text for a course description.
Now please provide me with the example course description
and then the details of the new course that you'd like
me to generate a description for.
And then I said, here's the reference text
for you to consider.
And then I literally pasted in the entire description
from this course that we just looked at
where I did the hard work to create it from scratch.
ChatGPT replied, sure, please let me know the details
of the new course that you'd like for me
to generate the description for.
And honestly, this is where it gets a little bit crazy.
I was honestly wanted to just test the limits
of this tool, and I wanted to see,
because I have this document that has all of my chapter
and lesson titles for this course right here
with a notes column of what I need to know when I'm filming.
But I wanted to prime ChatGPT with just lecture titles.
So we have our section for this actual course
that you're watching on ChatGPT
on learning and research on Midjourney on Dall-E 2
and all the other elements of this course.
So it just only has lesson titles.
What it did was said, sure,
I can create a course description
for the new course in the style of the reference text
that you provided.
Here's the description.
It went in and kept the same exact outline
and actually did a phenomenal job
of differentiating the chapter,
what's gonna be in the chapter,
and the overall layout of the exact course
with honestly a not very practical
set of base information or priming data.
So I was a little bit floored and blown away by this output.
I will say that there were a few mistakes
for this Midjourney section.
It said in this chapter, you'll learn how to use ChatGPT
for the Midjourney program.
There was a lot of, well, I won't say a lot,
but there was a decent amount of editing
that I had to do to get this complete
and ready for actual view and for it to go live.
The other thing is it stopped at seven
because I believe it hit its limit
on how much text it can output in one prompt.
So I simply said, please continue
number seven, and the remaining descriptions,
and it went ahead and did that perfectly.
So let's go and see what other interaction
that I had with it.
So I said, please break part five
into two different sections.
One section focusing on Midjourney, reiterating upscaling
and remixing, and the other section focusing on Midjourney
and more unique ways to create and advance parameters.
Don't include anything about ChatGPT,
'cause I was having a little bit of an issue there,
or Dall-E 2 in these descriptions.
There was a little bit of back and forth.
It did exactly what I wanted
of splitting it into two sections.
But for whatever reason, it kept bringing up ChatGPT.
So this is not perfect,
but I was honestly pretty blown away.
I still had to do the final pass, the re-editing
and the rewriting.
But I can honestly say that because I've created
a handful of different courses
and done this process,
it had to have cut the time needed on my end,
more than half.
So in theory,
I could create two course descriptions
in the same amount of time by doing this process.
So I hope that opens your mind on how you can prime ChatGPT
with past text from you
or text from another source that you want to emulate.
