Class Introduction
A good prompt for AI needs:
Google Prompt Designs is a wonderful resource
Clarity: Is it easy to understand what you're asking for? No jargon or confusing sentences.
Conciseness: Can you get your point across efficiently without unnecessary words?
Context: Does the AI have enough background information to generate something useful? For example, if you want a story, do you tell it the genre, characters, or setting?

General Rules for Prompt Writing
- Start simple - start with a simple prompt and build on it. Meta Prompting allows the tool to make the prompt for you as a starting point.
- Call to Action - start the prompt with an action word like "Write", "Create", or "Summarize" instead of "Can you"
- Add Context - add specific and relevant context to the task you want to perform
- Add Expectations - add clear and direct expectations for the content, like how long it should be and what to include
- Role Prompting - set the environmental conditions. For example: As a teacher, graphic designer, CEO
- Hallucinations - Do you want the tool to be creative and make up information or stick to the facts (No Hallucinations)
