Getting Started with Prompt Engineering and ChatGPT: A Step-by-Step Guide

This is our first module in the prompt engineering course! In the article that follows, we want to start carrying out what is in the prompt and a basic discussion of ChatGPT with straightforward dissolving on how to create a ChatGPT on OpenAI.
What is Prompt Engineering?
Notice engineering is a process of creating appropriate instructions for language models, and, more broadly, any kinds of machine learning models, as to create desired outputs. It entails tweaking and polishing prompts for the purpose of influencing the extent and manner to which the model may be put to learning for a particular task.
What is ChatGPT or OpenAI?
ChatGPT is a language model, which was created by OpenAI; it uses generative pretrained transformer architecture. It is meant to have natural-like dialogues and come up with human-like responses to questions. ChatGPT has been trained from a variety of internet texts so it can produce useful and contextually appropriate responses.

Example: I am not quite sure what exactly you mean by Prompt Engineering.
Let’s try typing a prompt: To the question “What is prompt engineering?” ChatGPT will give an elaborate answer.
