A Little-Better Prompt

October 20th, 2025 · No Comments

by Dwayne Phillips

Here is an attempt to gain value from a chattering bot by wording the prompt a little differently.

These chattering bots are everywhere. Some value is gained while some skill is lost. I thought of a better prompt:

Find, display the URL, and display a few sentences from three key commentaries regarding fill-in-the-blank.

“Three” is a arbitrary small number, so replace as you see fit.

Here are some examples:

  1. Find, display the URL, and display a few sentences from three key commentaries regarding the use of the robo ump in baseball.
  2. Find, display the URL, and display a few sentences from three key commentaries regarding value gained vs. skill lost in using a chatbot.
  3. Find, display the URL, and display a few sentences from three key commentaries regarding the use of the Oxford comma.

I like the results better than using, “What are the arguments for and against fill-in-the-blank.”

Just a musing on a Saturday morning.
