When you problem solve with ChatGPT, the only thing standing between you and a better idea is a mouse click. At the blackjack table of problem solving, ChatGPT is your virtual solutions dealer, and that regenerate button is your way of saying hit me. You can click it as you need to until you get to 21.

Everybody says context is critical to good prompting, but what if you don't know what context is useful? Ask ChatGPT to ask you three questions about your prompt. Ask it to interview you about the way you like to communicate. Allow it to prompt you for the context it needs to provide a better answer. Remember, AI is a colleague, and this is a collaboration.

Tell it that and ask it to give you five more just like it. Their generant option is a quick and easy way to have AI try its answer again, but you can also ask for more perspectives. Ask it to respond in three different ways, three different voices, three different directions. One advanced tip to take your game to the next level. Critique the AI's response. Articulate why you don't like the first answer, even if it's decent and what it's lacking. Then ask it to regenerate a response based on your feedback.
