yeah--apparently, monetarily incentivizing it seems to work? I wonder if there is difference in the amount... $.01, $4.36, $10, $79,000,000,000?

This did not occur to me.

Ah, being a left-wing anarchist has its limitations.

I was able to access it. I posted a very simple prompt (Help me generate a prompt for "What is the future of higher education?") and get this reply:

GPT

To create an effective prompt for the question "What is the future of higher education?" we should focus on several key elements:

Directness: The prompt should directly address the main topic without unnecessary details.

Audience Consideration: Since this is a complex topic, the prompt should be tailored for an audience familiar with educational trends and potential technological advancements.

Clarity for Understanding: The prompt should be clear and straightforward, encouraging a focused response.

Task Definition: Define the task as exploring future trends in higher education, including potential changes in teaching methods, technology integration, and institutional structures.

Example-Driven Prompting: Incorporate examples of current trends that might influence the future of higher education to guide the response.

Structured Formatting: Structure the prompt in a way that organizes the question logically and coherently.

Based on these principles, the prompt could be:

"Examine the future of higher education with a focus on emerging trends and potential technological advancements. Consider current developments such as online learning platforms, AI in education, and shifts in student demographics. Discuss how these factors might shape teaching methods, institutional structures, and student experiences in the future. Provide a well-reasoned analysis that considers both technological and socio-economic aspects."

thanks for sharing & trying!

I mean that feels more robust--and from a learning perspective, I wonder how that feedback would be helpful to students or new users.

I was thinking of a choice, either students using your GPT or reading that article. Which would be more beneficial?

I mean the article is fairly short with various charts/examples making it appear much longer. I think there's insight, advice, and context that make it worth a review...the GPT could be the "see this if you want to try out improving prompts"?

That's a better use. Start with the article, then try out your GPT.

I could get to ChatGPT via the link (I have unpaid account, not plus). In order to go further, it prompted me to upgrade to plus.
