How to edit the prompts for A.I.

When to Edit Prompts

Prompts should only be changed by advanced users, as it does take a lot of troubleshooting and testing to find prompts that result in the smartest behaving A.I.

• Reduce some unwanted A.I. behavior

• Increase some desired A.I. behavior

• Reduce token costs

Prompt Templates

Example of a bad prompt

Your population is 3,000,000
What do you want to do now?
