In today’s column, I am continuing my ongoing coverage of prompt engineering strategies and tactics that aid in getting the most out of using generative AI apps such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, Bard, Gemini, Claude, etc. The focus this time will be on the use of an ingenious prompting strategy known as a self-ask.
Essentially, you tell generative AI to solve problems by pursuing an internal question-and-answer divide-and-conquer approach that is to be made visible to you during the solving process. The AI is performing a stepwise self-ask that is an added-value version of chain-of-thought (CoT). No worries if that technobabble doesn’t seem to make sense to you. I’ll be explaining it all step-by-step and in plain language. Hang in there.
