Neural networks penetrate a wide variety of fields, from medicine to art, and of course, they haven't bypassed content creation. Artificial intelligence can write articles, generate images, and even compose music.
However, as in any other field, there are nuances here.
Sometimes you ask a neural network a question, and in return get something completely different from what you expected. Instead of a clear and logical answer — confusion, the wrong tone, or even downright nonsense.
Neural networks learn from a vast amount of data, but they don't always understand context, emotions, or even language nuances the way we humans do. Therefore, sometimes they give answers that sound unnatural or simply out of place. This may be because the query was not precisely formulated or because the neural network simply misinterpreted the question.
If you want to learn how to "talk" to neural networks and get exactly what you need from them, stay with us.
In this article, we will focus on how to properly formulate requests to neural networks. We will discuss how to ask questions to avoid misunderstandings and what phrases to use to get the exact result you want.
A neural network analyzes a large number of examples — these can be images, texts, or sounds. It identifies patterns and connections in this data. For example, if a neural network is trained to recognize cats in photographs, it will analyze thousands of images of cats and determine the characteristics that make them cats.
Initially, the results may be inaccurate, but as it learns, the neural network corrects its mistakes. The quality of the input data affects the results of the neural network. If the data is poor or incorrect, the results can be disappointing.
It's important to formulate requests to neural networks correctly. If the request is vague or too general, the neural network may not understand it. For example, the request "Tell me about the weather" is too vague. It's better to specify: "What is the weather like in Moscow this week?" This will allow the neural network to provide a more accurate response.
By learning to correctly formulate questions, you can maximize the benefits of neural networks.
To create specific content with AI, it's important to correctly formulate requests. Let's figure out how to do this with simple examples. The first and most important rule is clarity and specificity.
Leave no room for ambiguity. The more clearly the request is formulated, the more accurate the result will be.
The request "Write a post for a dental clinic" is a bad example. Why? Because it is too general and does not give AI specifics about what exactly you want. What is the message? What mood? What should the post be about?
How can you improve this request? For example: "Write a post for a dental clinic that explains the importance of regular check-ups. Make it friendly and motivating, and add a call to schedule an appointment." This is more specific! The prompt contains everything necessary: what the post should be about, what mood it should convey, and even a call to action is included.
If you have specific phrases or ideas, don't hesitate to share them. For example: "I want the post to include the phrase 'Take care of your teeth — you only have one set!'" This will give the neural network more information to work with and help better structure your thoughts.
Here are some tips on how to formulate requests:
- Be specific. Indicate exactly what you want to write about.
- Determine the mood. If you want the post to sound fun, serious, or informative, be sure to specify.
- Share your ideas. If you have key phrases or thoughts, include them in the request.
- Specify the target audience. If the post is intended for parents, mention it.
Examples of good and bad requests
Bad request: "Write a post for a dental clinic."
Good request: "Create a post for a dental clinic about a new service — teeth whitening. Mention that the procedure is safe and effective, and add a call to schedule a consultation."
Bad request: "Tell me about teeth."
Good request: "Write a post about why it's important to brush your teeth twice a day. Make it informative and add tips on choosing toothpaste."
Templates for prompts
Prompt templates will help you clearly formulate what you want to receive and make the process easier.
Post about a new service:
"Write a post about [service name] at [your company name]. Mention [key benefits] and add a call to action, such as scheduling a consultation."
Example: "Write a post about the new service — teeth whitening in our dental clinic. Mention that the procedure is safe and delivers quick results, and add a call to schedule a consultation."
Post with tips:
"Create a post with [number] tips on [topic]. Make it easy to understand so that readers can easily apply the tips in practice."
Example: "Create a post with 5 tips on dental care. Make it simple and clear so that readers can easily follow the recommendations."
Informative post:
"Write a post about [topic], discussing [key points]. Make it [mood, e.g., friendly or inspiring]. At the end, add a call to action, like 'Share your opinion in the comments!'"
Example: "Write a post about the benefits of regular dental check-ups, explain how it affects dental health. Make it friendly. At the end, add a call: 'Share your experience in the comments!'"
Post with a question:
"Write a post that starts with a question: [question], and then offer several possible answers or solutions. End with a call to discussion in the comments."
Example: "Write a post that begins with the question: Is fluoride in toothpaste beneficial, then offer several possible answers or solutions. End with a call to discussion in the comments."
Posts about promotions:
"Write a post about our new promotion: [promotion description]. Specify until what date it is valid and add a call to action."
Example: "Write a post about our new promotion: 20% off all dental care services. Valid until the end of the month. Invite people to make an appointment!"
Posts about discounts:
"Create a post about a [discount size]% discount on [service/product]. Specify how long the offer is valid and add a call to schedule."
Example: "Create a post about a 15% discount on brace installation. Offer valid from the 1st to the 15th. Invite people to schedule a consultation!"
Congratulatory posts:
"Write a congratulatory post for [holiday/event]. Specify what we wish our clients and add a call for communication."
Example: "Write a congratulatory post for New Year! Wish health and happiness to our clients, and invite them to share their New Year plans!"
Invitation posts:
"Create an invitation post for [event]. Specify the date, time, and place, and add what is expected at the event."
Example: "Create an invitation post for the open day on March 15 at 2:00 PM. Specify that there will be free consultations and gifts for all guests!"
How can you refine your request to get exactly the content you need?
If the first answer doesn't quite match expectations, try rephrasing the question. For example, if you asked for a post about discounts and got something too general, add details: "Write a post about a 20% discount on summer goods with a focus on a youth audience."
Think about what exactly you didn't like: style, content, or format? Specify what you want to get. Perhaps you need more details or specificity? Or, conversely, less fluff and more facts? The more you clarify, the closer you'll get to the desired result.
Ask artificial intelligence what information it lacks for a quality response. For example, you can ask: "What additional information do you need to create a more suitable post?" AI may suggest which details or clarifications would help it better understand the request.
Working with AI is a process, and the more you refine your requests, the better results you'll get.
Working with Postmypost AI is simple and comfortable.
Here's how it works: write in the chat with the neural network one of the prompts from the article or create your own. After that, Postmypost AI will offer you several text options, and you can choose the one you like the most.
Moreover, all options are easily editable. You can add details or change the wording so that the text sounds exactly as you need.
No need to struggle over every word anymore — Postmypost AI will do most of the work for you.
