Rule #2 for ChatGPT Basics: Use Follow-up Prompts to Improve Your Results

Context is Key

Context plays a crucial role when using ChatGPT. Every conversation with ChatGPT acts as a prompt in itself, and every prompt and answer is taken into account when a new prompt is issued.

Therefore, it's important to stay on topic. If you introduce a random, unrelated prompt into a focused conversation, it can decrease the accuracy of ChatGPT's responses.

Example: If you're discussing World War II, don't suddenly ask who would win in a fight between Batman and Spider-Man.

Let's face it, the answer is probably Batman. Unless Spider-Man catches him off guard. But when is Batman ever unprepared?...

If you want to ask an unrelated question, open a new chat. This way, the AI won't have any irrelevant prompts to draw on and can avoid confusion.
