| reusability.
|
| Tagging might be enough to help? At least if you are willing to
| do some manual fixing of those tags to make them higher quality.
|
| Also it would be nice to know what the person is trying to
| accomplish, and _then_ the prompt that they are using to
| accomplish that. That might also nudge people to give prompts
| that are more reusable.

| Well I've got my 2 standard suggestions: ditch the (c)hains,
| go public domain, and always provide a "View source" link on
| every page.
|
| Then, more specific to your site, I would go to someplace
| with a lot of people, a big coffee shop or conference for
| example, in person, and get at least 30 people to manually
| pick their top 2-3 favorites from that homepage. Then that
| will provide a huge initial boost and help you get over the
| hump of a social site without any people. You gotta "do
| things that don't scale", at this point, IMO. Turn the phone
| off, shut the computer screen, and meet people face to face
| to get it kickstarted.
|
| Nothing will improve your homepage more than if each story on
| the front page had a minimum of 10 upvotes from real human
| beings.

| With the DRUGWARS example... how is it working? Did it learn
| about the game by reading transcripts of its gameplay? Curiously,
| it cannot tell you how much money you have in your wallet, and I
| can't modify the prompt to make that work. It always responds
| with some version of:
|
| C:\DRUGWARS.EXE
|
| I'm sorry, but I do not have information on your current amount
| of money. In the game DRUGWARS.EXE, you are responsible for
| keeping track of your own finances. You can use the SELL and BUY
| commands to earn and spend money, but I do not have the ability
| to provide you with your current balance.

| Super cool idea, thanks for building and sharing!
|
| One possible suggestion for future iteration: I think it's a bit
| of a shame that everyone's been sharing ChatGPT outputs almost
| exclusively through screenshots. I threw together a (very quick
| and rudimentary) browser extension I've been using to save some
| of my more exciting transcripts in JSON files. I think something
| along these lines could be really great for sharing purposes,
| especially if people want to study these outputs more
| systematically (e.g. for research, or just a kind of crowd-
| sourced audit).
|
| Here's the barebones extension, just as an example:
| https://github.com/nickmvincent/chatgpt-exploration/tree/mai...
|
| There's also a longer discussion to be had about the best way to
| do this: ideally, we might save some of the formatting
| information too and/or more metadata (exact timestamps for
| responses, etc.), but I think the json with plaintext is adequate
| (at least for personal retrieval use).
| matt1 wrote:
| Thanks, totally agree about sharing screenshots. I originally
| started building the site intending people to share text-only
| examples, but it gets complicated with the formatted responses
| that ChatGPT generates. And since everyone is sharing
| screenshots right now anyway, it made sense to just support
| that for this v1. I do want to add support for sharing text
| responses so screenshots aren't necessary in all cases. And
| maybe a Chrome extension could make the process easier,
| including working with formatted output. Thanks for sharing
| yours; it could be a good starting point for one build for
| LearnGPT.

| Hey this is cool :) I posted a couple of interesting ones, thank
| you.
|
| Some of the most interesting prompts are very long, by the way.
| It would be good if you'd let me instead post a summary of what
| the prompt actually results in instead of the full prompt.
|
| Namely, I did this one: https://www.learngpt.com/prompts/you-are-
| now-playing-the-rol...
|
| But "command line" is misleading. Really, it's a JSON data
| accumulator.
| matt1 wrote:
| Can you elaborate on what you mean by "posting a summary of
| what the prompt actually results in"? The screenshots +
| description seem like they take care of both the full ChatGPT
| response + any summary you might have of it. Can chat over
| email if you prefer too: help@learngpt.com. Regardless, thanks
| for checking it out and sharing those novel prompts!
| scrollaway wrote:
| I mean that I would have posted with the title "Getting
| ChatGPT to extract data from sentences and return JSON"
| instead of the much longer prompt.
| matt1 wrote:
| Ah, I understand what you mean now. It's tricky because
| most people won't care to add a description and requiring
| one would add friction to sharing. Could do something like
| having the title be the description if one is present, or
| falling back to the prompt if not. Or giving users an
| option to choose. But might be more trouble than it's worth
| vs always using the prompt for the title.
| Imnimo wrote:
| Cool idea. My only complaint is that I found the UI for uploading
| screenshots pretty cumbersome, especially since they weren't
| initially organized in the order in which I had uploaded them.
| The small "move up"/"move down" buttons aren't great to work
| with.
| matt1 wrote:
| Great feedback, thank you! I just rolled out an update to
| reposition and increase the size of the buttons to change the
| image order. The site is using FileStack for the image uploads
| and as far as I can tell there's no way to tell the order that
| the images are selected for upload (the callbacks are fired
| when each image is done uploading, with no details about the
| order the user chose). Will dig into it more though. Thank you
| again.

| Hacker News for prompts, cool idea! Did you use ChatGPT to code
| it? :)
| matt1 wrote:
| You're not the first to ask, hah. But no, ChatGPT was not used

| (human-generated) content around using ChatGPT for coding
| though. Stay tuned!

| ChatGPT is an awesome friend! here's what they say about starting
| a presentation: Here are a few original ways to
| start a presentation: Ask a question: You could start
| your presentation by asking the audience a question related to
| your topic. This can help to engage them and get them thinking
| about your topic from the beginning. Tell a story: You
| could start your presentation with a short, relevant story that
| relates to your topic. This can help to grab the audience's
| attention and set the stage for your main message. Use
| a quote: You could begin your presentation with a quote that
| relates to your topic or resonates with the audience. This can
| provide a thought-provoking or inspiring opening to your
| presentation. Use a statistic: You could start your
| presentation with an interesting or surprising statistic related
| to your topic. This can help to grab the audience's attention and
| show the importance of your topic. Use multimedia: You
| could use multimedia, such as videos or slides, to create a
| visual opening for your presentation. This can help to make your
| introduction more engaging and memorable. Use humor:
| If appropriate, you could start your presentation with a funny
| joke or anecdote. This can help to lighten the mood and get the
| audience laughing from the beginning. Share a personal
| experience: You could start your presentation by sharing a
| personal experience that relates to your topic. This can help to
| make your presentation more relatable and engaging.
| Use a prop: You could start your presentation by using a prop
| that relates to your topic. This can help to grab the audience's
| attention and set the stage for your main message.

| For a good half of those, I would probably add a caveat.

| How are these collected and ranked?
| matt1 wrote:
| Anyone can sign up and share example prompts, whether it's one
| they came up with or one they saw online (in which case they
| can give the source credit).
|
| The submissions are then ranked the exact same way HackerNews
| articles are ranked on the homepage, following this algorithm:
| https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking...
| - in short, it's based on how many votes the prompt has
| received and how long since it was posted.
