Eduhouse: Good Prompting 1 – basics

Giving instructions to AI, or prompting, is not rocket science, but it is an important skill. It helps you get AI to answer questions in the right way and create the kind of content you actually want. A poorly constructed prompt can lead to weaker results and hallucinations.
