10 Simple Steps to Using ChatGPT AI

1. Get Access: Type “chat.openai.com” in your address bar and create an account to log in. The free version is likely all you will need.
2. Type Your Questions: Once you’re in, you’ll see a box where you can type your questions or requests. Imagine you’re talking to a helpful robot.
3. Be Clear: Type your request in plain English and be precise about what you ask. If you want a summary of a book, just type something like “Tell me about the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’.”
4. Check the Answer: ChatGPT will give you an answer based on your question. Make sure to read it and see if it makes sense and is helpful.
5. Edit If Necessary: After ChatGPT gives you an answer, you can edit it to further improve it. Add or change words to suit your needs. If the answer isn’t what you were looking for, rephrase your question in a different way or giving more information to help ChatGPT understand better.
6. Experiment: Ask different types of questions or request different things. You can ask for explanations, creative stories, or anything you like.
7. Give Context: Sometimes, it helps to provide extra information. For example, you can say, “In the context of science, explain photosynthesis,” or say “Can you make this easier to understand.”
8. Exercise Discretion: ChatGPT gathers information from the internet, which means its responses may not always be flawless, so it’s important to think critically when evaluating answers.
9. Keep Trying: Don’t worry if you don’t get it right the first time. The more you use ChatGPT, the better you’ll become at getting the answers you want.
