ChatGPT might be good at answering your questions with a general worldview. But it is not great at doing tasks with vague instructions.
Example
What is the height of Mount Everest?
8,850 meters (29,035 feet)
Come up with a question about attention.
What are the key differences between the self-attention mechanism… (what…?)
In this case, attention means many things. Without context, the AI has no clue what u are asking about. More often than not, it doesn’t deliver as promised.
So how should I do it?
This is how you should ask ChatGPT.
- Give the over-arching topic of what you want to test.
- Provide a specific learning outcome.
- Give additional context to prevent “hallucination”.
Sample Prompt
Generate a question from the topic of Cells. The main point of the question is how the mitochondria is the power house of the cell Context: Mitochondria produces ATP from ADP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
With this, you are able to come up with specific questions testing a main learning objective.
Is there a way to automate this?
Typing that for every single learning objective is a pretty tiring process by itself.
