Training ChatGPT
Determine the user-intent. Before you start teaching ChatGPT new information, you need to decide what you want ChatGPT to do with this information. Do you want it to answer customer questions? Do you want a personal assistant? Do you need to analyze data? Do you need information about travel destinations in Europe? What problem do you want ChatGPT to solve?
Prompt ChatGPT with your user-intent. Start by telling ChatGPT what you need it to learn and for what purpose. Some example prompts you can start with are the following: "Read through the operating instructions in this PDF and answer questions for customers in a polite and helpful way." "Analyze the data in this spreadsheet so that you can you can answer some questions about sales trends."
Input the information you want it to learn. You provide new information to ChatGPT by coping and pasting it as text or uploading it as a file. Click the paperclip icon in the text input box and select the file you want to upload. Free ChatGPT users have limited access to file uploads and data analysis tools. For all the best tools to teach ChatGPT, you may want to upgrade to a ChatGPT Plus subscription, which costs $20 a month. ChatGPT Plus users also get access to the ChatGPT 4.0 and ChatGPT 4o models, the DALL-E image generator, and fewer limitations on file uploads. Supported file types include text-based files, such as PDF, Word Docs, Google Docs, TXT files, Excel and Google, spreadsheets, CVS files, as well as image files. File uploads have a hard limit of 512 MB per file. CVS files and spreadsheets have a limit of 50 MB and image files have a limit of 20 MB. Individual users have a limit of 10 GB total for file uploads, while organizations have a limit of 100 GB total.
Ask ChatGPT questions about the data you entered. Start asking ChatGPT questions. See if it can solve the problems you want it to solve. See if it answers in the way you want it to answer. According to technology expert Tyrone Showers, you have to train ChatGPT and be specific to what exactly you're looking for, or what you want it to give you. For example, if you are asking Chat GPT to write SEO-specific title tags, you need to tell it to write titles that are no more than 60 characters long and elicit some kind of emotion. Then you need to tell it to accompany the title with an SEO-friendly description that complements the article. In addition, you need to give it context on how to write. For example, you can tell it to be specific, include no hyperbole, and avoid as many adjectives but elicits some type of emotion. So by giving us specific instructions, you can, you can actually get the result required.
