Welcome to your complete beginner guide to ChatGPT! By the end of this tutorial, you will be using ChatGPT like a pro.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Visit chat.openai.com and sign up for a free account using your email or Google account.
Step 2: Understanding the Interface
The ChatGPT interface is simple: a text box where you type your questions or requests, and a conversation area where responses appear.
Step 3: Your First Conversation
Start with something simple like “Explain artificial intelligence in simple terms” to see how ChatGPT responds.
Step 4: Writing Better Prompts
Instead of “Write a story,” try “Write a 500-word short story about a robot who discovers emotions, set in the year 2150, with a surprise ending.”
Step 5: Using System Instructions
Use Custom Instructions (in settings) to give ChatGPT context about who you are and how you want responses formatted.
