Soft Prompting

by

Soft Prompting: If requesting exactly what you want is a “hard” prompt, a “soft” prompt takes a more subtle approach. A soft prompt will use metaphors, tone of voice, or narratives to “guide” the model in the direction you want leaning into its ability to infer.

Reflect on the journey of crafting a device so in harmony with nature that it becomes a beacon for those striving to make every choice count for the earth's well-being. Delve into the story of a solar-powered coffee maker, designed not just for the environmentally conscious coffee lover but as a testament to what's possible when we channel the power of the sun into our lives. How does this tale unfold, from the spark of conception through to the hands of those it was made for?
