What is a prompt and how do you write a good one?

A prompt is the question or instruction you give to an AI. A good prompt is clear, specific, and gives the AI context about what you want. The clearer you are about what you need, the better the AI can help you.

A prompt is simply what you write when you talk to an AI system. It can be a question, a request, instructions, or even a scenario. The quality of the AI's response depends heavily on how well you explain what you want. A vague prompt like ask for a poem and you might get something generic. A detailed prompt asking for a poem about your childhood dog in a specific style will get you something much better.
