Out of curiosity (as someone disappointingly new to prompt engineering), what’s an example prompt you used with some success?

Actually knowing the subject and presenting insights gives me much better results than simply asking it to do what I mean.
For help with prompt engineering, take a graduate level grant writing course. It teaches you how to ask the right questions to get answers from humans and how to break down complicated processes into bite size pieces; really useable for llm's.
Heh. Probably also useful should a djinn ever grant you three wishes.
Ask questions. Be disappointed in the outcomes.

Ask more questions. Get some right answers. Repeat.

Make question asking muscle get swole.
