Exploit ChatGPT By Distinguishing Problem and Solution
Do you feel awkward when you question ChatGPT because you don't know where to start? This article is for you!
Once upon a time, people were used to mix problems and solutions. It was common to present problems with the words of the solution and propose solutions with the words of the problem.
That mix is psychologically understandable: the desire to solve problems leads people to anticipate the solution when formulating the problem and focus on the solution as the relief from pain – problems often imply some pain.
It was an inefficient approach that negatively impacted all industries. Problems are the source of business value, while solutions are costs, which are acceptable as long as the problems they solve are valuable to solve.
When neglecting the distinction between value and costs, it’s straightforward to understand that the business value is blurred, and that’s not acceptable in the long run.
This situation starts to be even less acceptable when LLMs enter into play. Indeed, when you prompt LLMs, you need to describe the problem and shape constraints the solution must comply with.
