Week 2: Types of Prompts

• Open-ended prompts are prompts that allow for a wide range of possible responses. These prompts are
often used to generate creative text formats, such as poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters,
etc.

• Closed-ended prompts are prompts that have a specific answer. These prompts are often used to test
knowledge or understanding.

• Instructional prompts are prompts that give instructions on how to complete a task. These prompts are
often used to train AI models on specific tasks.

• Generative prompts are prompts that generate text, images, or other creative content. These prompts are
often used to create new content or to explore different possibilities.

• Discriminative prompts are prompts that distinguish between different categories of data. These prompts
are often used to train AI models to classify data.
Week 2: Types of Prompts

• Controlled prompts are prompts that restrict the range of possible responses. These prompts are often
used to prevent AI models from generating harmful or offensive content.

• Creative prompts are prompts that encourage AI models to be creative. These prompts are often used to
generate new ideas or to explore different possibilities.

• Adversarial prompts are prompts that are designed to trick AI models into generating incorrect or
misleading responses. These prompts are often used to test the robustness of AI models.

• Illustrative prompts are prompts that are used to illustrate a particular concept or idea. These prompts are
often used to teach AI models about the world.

• Interactive prompts are prompts that allow for user interaction. These prompts are often used to create
games or other interactive experiences.
Week 2: Types of Prompts

• Multimodal prompts are prompts that combine multiple modalities, such as text, images, and audio.
These prompts are often used to create more comprehensive and informative responses.

• Sequential prompts are prompts that are presented one after the other. These prompts are often used to
generate stories or other long-form content.

• Timed prompts are prompts that have a time limit. These prompts are often used to test the speed and
efficiency of AI models.

• Personalized prompts are prompts that are tailored to the individual user. These prompts are often used
to create more engaging and relevant experiences.

• Contextual prompts are prompts that take into account the context of the conversation. These prompts
are often used to generate more accurate and relevant responses.
Week 2: Types of Prompts

• Meta-prompts are prompts that are about prompts themselves. These prompts are often used to explore
the nature of prompts and their role in AI.

• Experimental prompts are prompts that are new or untested. These prompts are often used to push the
boundaries of what is possible with AI.

• Synthetic prompts are prompts that are generated by AI models. These prompts are often used to train
other AI models or to explore the capabilities of AI models.

• Adversarial examples are inputs that are designed to fool AI models into making mistakes. These
examples are often used to test the robustness of AI models.
