Crafting Clear Prompts: The Key to Unlocking Accurate AI Outputs

If you’ve experimented with AI chat bots such as ChatGPT, you’ve probably experienced both the thrill of getting a spot-on response and the frustration of receiving utterly nonsensical or incorrect answers. You might have asked, “What’s the capital of France?” and received a perfect answer, only to be baffled when “Tell me about the French Revolution” yielded a jumble of mixed-up dates and events. Welcome to the art and science of prompt engineering, where crafting the right input can make all the difference.

What is a prompt?
When you type a simple question into a chat window, you are creating a simple prompt. But simple prompts are only scratching the surface of what these models can do, and surface-level interaction often lead to those frustrating, incorrect results. It’s important to realize that large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 or GPT-4 are incredibly powerful and complex. They’re not just glorified search engines or pre-programmed responders. Instead, think of them as vast neural networks that have digested and learned patterns from enormous amounts of text data.

Prompt engineering is about learning to communicate more effectively with AI models. It’s like learning a new language, but instead of conjugating verbs, you’re crafting inputs that guide the AI towards producing the kind of output you want. Learning how these models interpret your prompts and how to craft your inputs more effectively, can lead to dramatic improvement of the quality and accuracy of the responses you receive.

How LLMs interpret your prompt
LLMs interpret prompts through a process that’s fundamentally different from how humans understand language. To grasp this, it’s helpful to understand a bit about how these models work.

At their core, LLMs are pattern recognition machines. They’ve been trained on vast amounts of text data, learning to predict what words or tokens are likely to come next in a sequence. When you provide a prompt, the model doesn’t “understand” it in the human sense. Instead, it analyzes the prompt as a pattern and tries to generate a continuation that matches similar patterns it has seen in its training data.

Let’s walk through the process.

Step1: Tokenization
When you create your prompt, the model breaks it down into a series of tokens. Sometimes these are whole words, but most often they are parts of word — punctuation marks, or even individual characters. For example, “prompt engineering” might be broken into tokens like “pro”, “mpt”, “ engineering”.

All the tokens are collected in a block of memory called the context window. The amount of memory, i.e. the size of window, will be different depending on the LLM. For example, GPT-3.5 has a context window of 4,000 tokens, GPT-4 can handle 8,192 tokens and Claude 3 boasts a context window size of a whopping 200,000 tokens

Technically, these window sizes include your prompt and the model’s ongoing response. What this means is that older parts of the conversation may be forgotten if they exceed this window. However, with context windows getting larger and larger, this should not be a problem.

Step 2: Pattern Matching
When the LLM receives the tokens in context window, the model examines the sequence of tokens and compares them to patterns it has seen in its training data. Based on these patterns, the model generates a probability distribution for what tokens are likely to come next. This distribution is influenced by many factors, including the frequency of token combinations in the training data and the patterns that appear in your prompt.

Step3: Response Generation
The model selects the next best word for its response based on the probabilities generated in Step 2. This process repeats, with each new generated token influencing the probabilities for the next word. This cycle continues until the model completes its response. Because text generation is based on a degree of randomness, it’s the reason LLMs return slightly different responses even when given the exact same prompt
