Andrew Ng and an OpenAI researcher just released a one-hour free course on prompt engineering: https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/chatgpt-prompt-engineering-for-developers

And this University of Pennsylvania business professor has been writing insightful things about ChatGPT and here's his prompting tips: https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/a-guide-to-prompting-ai-for-what

GPT-4 is significantly better than 3.5 - you can play with it via ChatGPT for $20/month or via the API for about 8 cents per thousand words generated and 4 cents per thousand words in the prompts.

What Kind of Mind Does ChatGPT Have? | The New Yorker is a very good description of how ChatGPT works and is aimed at a broad audience.

A long list of surprising things that GPT-4 can do is in this paper by Microsoft researchers: Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4

Hi,

really interesting post Ken! It seems it’s like with the text generation — very fluent posting and explanation of f-structures but with features we wouldn’t use in LFG (REL-CLAUSE, SUBORD-CLAUSE). I’d really like to know what the underlying technology for this is (beyond the basics).

I’ve started looking into prompt engineering — any pointers on this you might know?

Cheers,

Miriam

'I would suppose, sir,' he said cautiously, 'that Modesty Blaise might
be a person awfully difficult for us---er---actually to get.' He
blinked towards the big, grey-haired main who stood by the window,
looking down at the night traffic, hurrying along Whitehall.

'For a moment,' Tarrant said, turning from the window, 'I hoped you
might split that infinitive, Fraser.’
