Hey Jeff. Please tell me if this is necessary. I try to stop Chatgpt from Hallucinating. So I asked Chatgpt to ask me questions and inform me if he is unable to obtain a solution from his database and/or research online. I haven't tried a stress test yet. But it is in my custom gpt that I am working on.
You should stress test since I wouldn't know either LOL@@ekot0419
@@JeffSu #3 is absolutely lifechanging. It really helps clarifying my question. Lets put it this way. This prompt saved me 5 to 6 house rules that I wrote in broken English and a lot more effective. I saw the difference immediately. Thank you.
That's amazing!!!@@ekot0419
spelling wrong lol 8:58 last line "be"
"Ask me 5 questions that will improve the response you will be giving me." Jeff, you're a genius!
My mom thinks so too Robert :)
I added the line about asking 5 more questions to my custom instructions and I get questions automatically without asking it every time. Excellent video! Keep it up!
Amazing implementation Eric!!
Hi Jeff, I am a 63 year old who LOVES learning about ChatGPT. Your videos are amazing!
Woohooo that's AWESOME to hear!!
@JeffSu really enjoy the energy you bring to your videos! And also how you cut right to the chase by providing information we can understand and use right away. Props!
Thanks so much Tim!!
@jeffSu. You are one of my most favourite youtubers, here's why:
No bs content, no overly complex designs/concepts, no dramatic music. Just straight forward minimal content that I can perceive to utmost level
You replies/reacts to most of the comments which creates conversational atmosphere rather than a boring class. This is extremely rare(in youtubers) and very hard for you having 6L+ subs
You include timestamps, video length is just perfect(not too lengthy, not too short), 2-3 videos a month makes your content rich( I have seen many youtubers who dilute their content by repeating upload everyday which causes confusion)
Wow this is the kindest comment I've come across all day, thank you!!!!
100% facts!
Thanks for posting this video! These are some amazing tips!! I'm already asking for it to make me a cleaning schedule and create a social media content calendar for my small business. The 5 follow-up questions is a time saver.
Wooohooo that's what I love to hear 😁
Thanks for another concise yet super helpful video, Jeff! My favorite tip is the "Ask me 5 questions that will improve the response you will be giving me" because I sometimes struggle with devising the most efficient prompts. Thanks Jeff :D
No problem May, maybe we can get together sometime and explore these prompts together 😁
Nice one Jeff! BTW: regarding your 2nd tip of automating docs. This also works nicely with VBA code for MS Word.
Great point!
I have been watching your videos since the beginning. I have loved all of your tips and have shared your videos with everyone I know. I just want you to know I've finally subscribed to your newsletter and am looking forward to your content. BTW your intros are phenomenal now!

@@JeffSu You're the man! Just created a KILLER business plan with your tips and tricks for Chat GPT. Amazing
Woohooo! What kinda business are you in?@@nickmyers1762
@@JeffSu I help content creators, influencers, and industry professionals build online businesses around their personal brands. My team and I build digital products, info-products, paid communities, e-commerce stores, and much much more - we do all the grunt work.
I also help older generational business owners modernize their business practices to catch up to modern online business marketing trends and operations. Only started my company 3 weeks ago but got projects going with 4 clients. This digital age that we live in has resulted in so much disruptive innovation that there are now so many unique online business opportunities to explore and take advantage of. Exciting times.
Wow Su, I love the way you hit the topics fast with examples.
That's what I do 😁
First video I've seen here. Fantastic. Your editing and scripting are on point. Everything is clean af
Woohoo thanks 😁
Number one in prompts man. I follow you. Thanks for this.
No problem! 😁
Thanks Jeff for super useful tips!! You never disappoint us. 👍😊
Woohooo thanks 😁
A value-packed video, it's been a long time since I've watched such a wonderful video. Thanks, Jeff.
You're very welcome! 😁
Very informative! I haven't experimented with custom instructions yet, but I'm definitely going to add that last sentence from Mistake #3 to my prompts! I'll let you know how things go :)
Let me know how you find it andrea 😁
Great stuff Jeff, im gonna test out some of your tips. Keepem coming
Will do! 😁
This guy is good! His videos are thorough and informative! And he's not boring! Love the video!

"... if not (if you're not a fan of his speech), hit the dislike button... TWICE". You think we wouldn't notice this point, huh? 😆🤣😂 You're definitely amazing, Jeff!
Well I'm sure SOMEONE noticed 😉

No problem
Thanks, Jeff, I learned a lot from this video.
No problem 😁
Super helpful tips! Adding several to my repertoire.
Glad to hear it!!
Holy Moly! My 'Custom Instruction' was a mess and the actual culprit. You have always been a life saver Jeff. I wish Google also add custom instructions for their Gemini Advanced model.
Btw, is there a way to save template with the suffix phrase "Ask me 5 questions that will improve the response you'll be giving me." and reuse that with a simple click and add the context and question to it?
Use a free clipboard manager 😁
Another commenter mentioned that he added this bit to his custom instructions.
Man you just nailed it!! Loved those tips ❤❤
Woohoo thanks Hillary!
late in commenting, it works both on Gemini and Co-pilot, however, it seems that Gemini can extract more pictures from the source materials or external materials in that manner.
Jeff you're really doing hard work, even if you have AI and skilled helpers behind. Just the text prompt to come up, as a human, its already hard enough.
the way you have managed to loop relevancy for any job field out there is amazing.
for those who have been taking notes, copy what jeff has done but, insert [. ] for those with specific job roles or where there is frequent variables, so that when you copy and paste the text, it will be as easy as filling in the blanks
Thank you so much! I'm coming up with all this myself 😁
Thank you! Such good tips!
No problem! Which tip did you find the most useful?
@@JeffSu Giving it information about yourself and how an article applies to you when summarizing it 😊
Thank you for this video, it's very informative and helpful. I have a question regarding the first part of the custom instructions, how important is that info if I want to use a certain persona for the responses. My personal info isn't really relevant to how I want to use chatgpt.
That's totally fine!
Great Stuff man! Really great work.
Thank you 😁
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

Amazing content Jeff, love the sense of humor 1:26 😂
Hahaha glad to hear it 😁
The last top was a good one, thanks.
Just the last one? :(
Light.... Light sarcasm? Is that even possible?
Another great video here for sure, no sarcasm intended. I am going to be checking this out again when I get to the office and really start digging into how I can continue to do far less.
Okay that last sentence WAS sarcasm.
See? It's like seasoning it with love!
I guess light sarcasm isn't possible for us Matthew!
@@JeffSu Unless it is sarcasm about lights and lighting products.
#Jeff never fails to impress me ❤ Incredible video! 🔥
Practical tips on optimizing ChatGPT use, especially love the writing style emulation hack and non-coder automation.
'Ask me five questions' trick is a game-changer for refining responses.
Actionable insights over summaries - a game-changer! 👏
That's the reason we are such big fans of Jeff. ❤
Woohooo love it! 😁
Gonna tell you, you DO have a sense of humor, kind of charming it is!
hahaha thanks 😁
I was very impressed with that. I learned more. Cheers.

Bottom left corner :)
Amazingly helpful video!
😃
Thank you 😁
Hey Jeff you content and presentation🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thankssss 😁😁
I can see why you have so many sub's (including me now), its short to the point and easy to implement. All the other AI type content is very dry and full of marketing hype. Thank you for your hard work!
Haha thank you my friend!!
Amazing , thanks for sharing. But one can create multiple GPT's, ie. one for random questions, one for marketing, one for sports related questions etc... Anyway thanks, love the idea of creating multiple persona in the first box for Customer Instructions
That's a good point! I just don't like switching between so many GPTs 😂
@@JeffSu I can imagine that, if you have more than 10 GPT's , that could be daunting
Amazing video, love the AI-powered automations 🚀
Now I don't feel so bad not learning coding in college 😁
Dude is one of the few UA-camrs who actually provides real value in every video.

Jeff which AI do you think is better for coding? Gemini or Chat GPT 4? Which one is better for um niche coding languages? Like I'm using a plugin for Unreal Engine that lets me use a, modified for UE, version of Angelscript to script in UE. I don't NEEEEEED help from AI, but if I can benefit from it then why not? However, even though there is documentation there aren't too many use cases of AS-UE that I can show to AI chats. What do you think?
The only correct answer I can give you: Use the same prompt for both and see which one makes fewer errors the first time around
00:02 🤔 Advice from self-proclaimed experts may lack sufficient testing, leading to inconsistent results.
01:43 🛠 Custom instructions in ChatGPT should be concise and cover all use cases rather than being overly specific.
02:43 🖥 Writing code isn't necessary to automate tasks with ChatGPT; simple prompts can generate scripts for various purposes.
04:58 🤔 Avoid expecting perfect answers from ChatGPT with just one prompt; adding a request for clarification can significantly improve responses.
06:23 📝 Utilize ChatGPT beyond summarization; request personalized insights or engage in Q&A sessions for actionable results.
08:27 💡 Don't overload on ChatGPT-related content; focus on refining and using a few prompts consistently for improved productivity.
Getting you notification always gives me joy! ✅
Me too 😁
8:42 this part is just waaay too cute, I have to rewatch like 4 times!
Hahahaha thanks vincent 😁
@JeffSu do you find that with every new version of chatGPT, the responses are getting worse?
Hm...not really, did you notice something different??
@@JeffSu yes, So using exactly the same inputs I need to run them few times to receive a proper outcome, when earlier it mostly delivered the good ones in one or two tries
Dam really :(@@enjoyvride
Thanks Jeff!
You're very welcome 😁
Your videos are amazing!
Thank you my friend 😁, which one is your favorite so far?
7:54 Jeff, frankly, I think you are one of the leaders of this short-form epidemic we are facing 😆, caused by TikTok, Reels, .., and now AI summarizing feature. Maybe sooner, writers and content creators will not see a point(and profit) in creating any detailed content(book, podcast, lecture, and even articles), because our Z gen cannot endure it, and they will use AI tools to summarize it. Sadly, our attention span is getting horribly and unrealistically short, and we know, most things that are valuable need detailed explanation, conciseness comes after comprehensiveness, as a supplementary not a replacement. Btw, I love your videos, and I love AI, and I'm very grateful to you for teaching me how to effectively leverage it, yet the concerns are intimidating, I hope you'll make some videos talking about attention span and patience.
I totally hear you my friend! I guess my approach is more about dealing with reality as opposed to what "ought to be" 😅
I agree, you are right@@JeffSu
I liked your video so much i hit the subscribe button twice!
Wait but that means you unsubscribe :(
@@JeffSu just kidding. Been subscribed for 2 months now. Awesome content and humor
yayyy@@zanderion
I almost have the exact information on my custom instructions. Except I call it Continuous Improvement from Toyota/Lean
That's awesome!
Amazing. Im a fan! Thanks
You're very welcome 😁
The #2 tip, about the scripts for google docs: WOW
I know right???
Custom instruction: From ChatGPT reply, extract and list all nouns and adjectives in glossary format with their definitions.
Interesting, how do you use this in your workflow?
I am a sort of expert in certain areas of darts. Try this in the sport of darts and you realize, chatgpt does not really know anything, but it assumes quite convincingly and sounds very accurate even when it is not. I am keeping that in my mind when watching how you put in contents that I know nothing about. For example, ask chat gpt what segment ls and numbers are on a dartboard and it will answer correctly. Ask chat gpt what result you get when you add up all the values on a dartboard and you will get a wrong answer. To a novice, that answer seems correct. One would also expect chat gpt to be good ad this mathematical task, so you are likely to trust the outcome.
I guess it's a good thing I'm not using this for darts 😂
Great video and brilliant tips, thank you very much! I have one question: I’ve learned, when you upload a PDF to ChatGPT that it learns from it and can replicate the information to other users. You didn’t mention this when you uploaded the PDF in your video. What’s the story with that?
What do you mean? I wasn't trying to hide that 😂, it just didn't seem like a big deal to me. Pretty sure every online tool stores our private information...
These are solid tips!
Thank you! 😁
Sure, I was engineering prompts ten years ago, joystick in hand.
Wait really 😂
I want to be Jeff Su when I grow up. You are the best
