Machine-Generated Transcript

What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

Christopher Penn: In today’s episode, Mark asks, What jobs will AI create? So this is something that has been obviously debated very heavily, we know that AI is going to consume a lot of jobs.

So a bunch of folks on LinkedIn talking about how the old saw that we’ve said for years now that you know, a person skilled with AI will take your job not AI itself.

And depending on your job, that’s no longer true, right? If your job is a series of single task jobs that machines can do, yes, a machine will take away the components of that job until that job is no longer with worth employing.

However, the flip side is what jobs will AI create? The answer is, we don’t know, it hasn’t happened yet.

But what we do know what is very clear is that just as AI saves a lot of time and effort, it also consumes a lot of consumes a lot of resources, it consumes enormous amounts of electricity, for example.

So all the things that happen in an electric supply chain, you need more of it.

Where do we get more electricity, Microsoft was saying that they’re looking at strapping a nuclear reactor to one of their data centers, because they just can’t get enough power.

Obviously, the more power you’re generating, the more infrastructure you need to do that and more jobs are in that particular sector.

We know that AI is running out of training data, there was a piece in the New York Times, just Christopher Penn: yesterday, about how AI companies were basically grabbing every piece of data they could possibly get ahold of to train today’s large language models and ignoring ethics and intellectual property as it just vacuumed up everything, which, again, is no surprise to anyone who’s worked in the field for more than two minutes.

But what companies like you know, the French company Mistral, which makes the Mistral family models clearly demonstrated with their models.

Just because you got a lot of data doesn’t mean that Christopher Penn: it’s good.

And a model that’s trained on everything instead of just the good stuff underperforms a model trained just on the good stuff.

Here’s the challenge.

The challenge is, there isn’t enough good stuff.

Right? Think about a power law curve, right? Which is like sort of the opposite of bell curve, you have a short head and a long tail.

In a power law curve, the short head is quality content, the long tail is not quality content.

And the internet is full of content, but a lot of it’s crap, right? A lot of it’s not very useful.

Even if it’s well written, even if it’s good, in general, it may not be good for your purpose, right? Your drunk uncle’s Reddit shit posts are probably not good for anything.

But your blog about B2B marketing, probably a very good blog.

My blog about generative AI, I would like to think it’s a good blog.

Is that content helpful if you’re training a model on medical diagnostics? No, no, it’s not.

Christopher Penn: It doesn’t really offer anything beyond basic word associations.

And so one of the nascent opportunities that appears to be coming up is companies hiring humans who are qualified humans to write more good content.

A friend of mine who is a PhD in a very specific field, AI companies paying them 50 bucks per per piece of content, just to give them training data.

And it’s laborious, Christopher Penn: right? Christopher Penn: It requires their domain expertise, their domain knowledge to to train this model.

And so they have to sit down and pound out 750 words at a time and get paid, you know, decent money for it.

It’s not great money, but it’s decent money.

It’s certainly something that they can do in their spare time.

But that’s one of the tasks that machines need machines just need more good content.

And so one of the career paths, at least in the short term, we’re probably talking, you know, next Christopher Penn: two to five years is getting more expert content, more high quality content into training libraries and training data sets that can then be resold to AI companies, it would not surprise me in the slightest to see consortiums of companies, you know, hiring freelance photographers, like, hey, we need 1000 photos of passenger cars, we need 1000 photos of SUVs, because we’re helping create a labeled training data set.

For SUVs, we need 1000 photos of milk cartons, right, and someone’s gonna go out and gather up this data and create the data, because it doesn’t exist yet, at least not in the format that that high quality modelers want.

And so that is already an indicator that supply chains are shifting.

Right.

So if you want a model to generate milk carton identification, you need a lot of that training.

data, and it doesn’t exist.

So there has to someone has to make it.

And that someone could be you, that could be your company, you if you have access to data, we have access to a talent pool of people who can create commissioned types of data, there may be a real market opportunity for you.

Other things that we we just don’t know.

There are certainly, you know, prompt engineering itself, Christopher Penn: is simultaneously becoming less and more important is less important for big general models.

It is more important for small open weights models where the model performance can really be made or made or broken based on the prompt.

But even if the for the larger models, there’s a strong call for prompt engineering for within a company.

So that company may bring someone and say, we need Christopher Penn: 10 prompts for HR, we need 10 prompts for sales, we need, you know, so on and so forth.

And that is something that if you have those skills, you may be able to go into a company and say, Hey, let me help you get get rolling quickly.

With these tools.

There is an enormous amount of concern, which is valid about the safety and security of language models and the data that feeds them and the data that they produce.

Anytime is like anytime.

This is something I got from my friend Chris broken anytime there’s an opportunity to be helpful, there’s an opportunity to earn money.

Anytime someone’s got a problem, there’s an opportunity to be helpful.

And if there’s in a corporate sense, in an organizational sense, if there’s a problem, there’s an opportunity for someone to make some money there.

So if a company identifies that cybersecurity is a real problem now with dealing with language models that can code autonomously, there is an industry now for people helping defend systems against those types of organized attacks.

If Christopher Penn: there’s a problem with misinformation that is causing troubles at a company there is there is a market space for solution.

So one of the easiest ways to think about what jobs AI is going to create is look at what the new problems are.

What are the new problems that don’t have solutions yet? Can you build a solution? Whether it’s, you know, just a couple little things or a full enterprise sized company doesn’t matter.

If you can identify the problem, you can, you can create the solution for it.

And if you’re early enough, you might be the solution provider for it.

So that’s the short answer to the question, what jobs will AI create? Any ill create jobs to solve the problems that AI creates? So as you think about the problems that AI is creating deep fakes, and this and that? Are you thinking about the market? opportunity to create a solution for it? That’s the episode that that is it for this episode.

What’s On My Mind: Generative AI Optimization and Content Marketing Strategy

Eric asked a very interesting question that’s worth addressing: given that at least some consumer behavior will change toward the use of generative AI as a replacement for traditional search, how do you get ahead of the curve? How can you and I avoid losing a substantial part of our organic search traffic to generative AI?

This is a big topic to tackle, so let’s go over the pieces to understand what we might want to do and what advice I’d give Eric – and you.

Is Generative AI-Based Search a Thing?

First, is generative AI-based search a thing? Yes, it is. A recent piece (paywalled) in the Wall Street Journal cited statistics of 20-40% traffic loss from things like Google Search Generative Experiments and other forms of AI-based summarization. Why? Because in general, the search process today is somewhat broken. Go to any mainstream publisher’s site and you’re bombarded with ads while trying to get the information you want.

For example, there was a piece of clickbait on one of the sci-fi entertainment sites I have in my Google News reader. It took 14 scrolls of the page to get to the useful information, what tiny little bit of it there was, and a solid half of those swipes were past ads – none of which I can remember, so the ad dollars spent by those advertisers was futile.

If I point Perplexity, Gemini, or Bing/Copilot at that URL? I get a one paragraph summary that doesn’t require me to read 7 pages of ads to get the useful information. Generative AI-based summarization and content delivery is just a better user experience.

The more people find out that it’s not only possible but straightforward to get the information you want in a more compact form and a substantially better user experience, the faster AI-generated search will take off.

The second aspect of generative AI-based search that we forget about is the aggregation aspect. When you search for something like “best practices for writing case studies”, as an example, you have to click back and forth from search result to search result, putting the information together. When you use generative AI, all the results are mashed together and summarized into one tidy document. You don’t have to mentally do that part any more, and that’s a huge benefit as well.

So, generative AI-based search is already a thing and will likely be more of a thing going forward as long as the user experience is better than traditional search and publisher-produced content that bombards you with unwanted content like ads. (There’s a whole rabbit hole here about the future of publishing, but that’s a separate topic)

How Do Generative AI Models Know What To Recommend?

With that understanding, we need to know how generative AI systems get content in them to summarize for us. Today’s tools get their information and knowledge from three major sources: their long-term memory made of the training data they’ve been trained on, their short-term memory made of the data we provide in a prompt, and their retrieval augmented data that they obtain primarily from search. Tools like Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity have all three systems in play.

So how do we influence these systems? Well, influencing a user’s prompt is all about brand and mindshare. If someone’s searching for you by name, it’s because they know who you are and want more specific information. If brand building isn’t a core strategic pillar of your marketing strategy, you’ve basically lost the plot for modern marketing. Brand is EVERYTHING, because we live in a world of brand. We live in a world where people recall only the things that have emotional importance to them and that’s what brand is. Ze Frank said back in 2006 that a brand is the emotional aftertaste of a series of experiences, and that statement has never been more true.

As an aside, I’ve seen people call this AI Engine Optimization, Search AI Optimization, Generative Engine Optimization, etc. These all sound silly. I guess we’ll see which one wins.

Can we influence training data? To a degree, yes, but it’s neither easy nor fast. Training data for models comes from a variety of sources; if you look at what model makers like Meta disclose as their training data sets, you’ll see things like book archives, programming code repositories, and an entity known as Common Crawl.

Common Crawl is a non-profit organization that basically makes copies of the entire public web, in text format. It’s a massive, massive archive; a single snapshot of the public web is about 7 petabytes of data. To put that in context, if you took all the text from all the books in the entire New York Public Library, that would work out to about 2.7 terabytes. A single snapshot of the web is 2,500 New York Public Libraries.

Within Common Crawl is every site that’s publicly available, from the most bespoke publications to your drunk uncle’s Reddit shitposts and that Blogspot blog you started in 2003 and forgot about. All that text is ingested by model makers and converted into statistical associations that form the foundation of a language model’s long-term memory.

How Do You Influence Generative AI Models?

Thus, if you wanted to increase the statistical associations in the model for your brand with key terms, you’d have to increase the amount of text in archives like Common Crawl, books, code, etc. By a substantial amount in your domain. That means being in tons and tons of text content in public.

How would you do that? Well, for starters, you have to publish and make available tons and tons of text content. You should be creating high quality content at high velocity on your site, your blog, your digital media properties. You should be creating podcasts, videos, etc. And providing subtitle files with everything.

Once you’ve got your own properties in order, the next step is to be everywhere you can be. Say yes to everything you can practically say yes to. Be on any podcast that publishes transcripts, even if the show itself has 2 listeners. Collab with other creators on YouTube.

This is, in some ways, an inversion of normal PR strategy. Normal PR strategy is all about getting placements in great publications, publications that get a lot of public attention. PR professionals will often talk about publications like Tier 1, Tier 2, etc. Tier 1 publications are well-known outlets like the New York Times, Asahi Shimbun, the Sydney Morning Herald, etc. PR clients want to be in those publications for obvious reasons – they get a lot of attention.

But in the world of model training, one piece of text has no more weight than another. An article in the East Peoria Evening News has the same weight as an article in the New York Times – and there’s a good chance of getting a placement in the former. From a language model perspective, you’re better off getting 100 easy to obtain articles in small publications that are on the web rather than 1 difficult to obtain article in a large publication.

Now, that will change over time, but the reality right now and for the near-term is that model makers are ravenously hungry for any data they can get their hands on. Companies like OpenAI, Meta, and many others are vacuuming up data as fast as they can, licensing and buying it from wherever they can obtain it.

Is SEO Dead?

So, should we just toss out our content marketing strategy and publish whatever we can, wherever we can? Not so fast. Remember that the long-term memory is just one of three sources that models use; the third source is search data. This is where traditional SEO strategy still matters, because if you look at what’s happening behind the scenes when we talk to a search-aware model, part of the process is to consult existing search databases as the model synthesizes results.

You can see this, for example, in Microsoft Bing. As you talk to the GPT-4 model that powers it, you’ll see it rewriting your conversation into Bing queries, querying the Bing search catalog, and returning search results that the language model then synthesizes into a written summary. In other words, traditional SEO still matters because that language model is being fed partly from search data.

If anything, this makes your overall SEO strategy even more important, because you want those search-enabled language models to recommend your content for inclusion in its summaries. This means you should absolutely be consulting Bing Webmaster Tools (since Bing is the underlying engine for both Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT) as well as Google Search Console (because Google Search is unsurprisingly the underlying engine for Gemini’s search-powered results) and optimizing your content appropriately.

Here’s the simple reality: those who are better at content marketing will do better in a generative AI-powered search world. Big or small, rich or poor, whoever has the most content out there that’s decent quality will win. I say decent quality because model makers are finding out (completely unsurprisingly) that using a smaller subset of high quality content leads to better models than models that use everything. Everything incorporates a lot of garbage, and so you’ll see references to libraries like C3, which is a subset of Common Crawl that’s somewhat curated.

This means, for content marketers, if you want to win in a generative AI world, you have to create both high quantity AND high quality content. You can’t just churn out garbage. You also can’t just publish one bespoke piece of content a quarter. Best isn’t enough, and most isn’t enough – your content strategy has to revolve around creating the most best content in your space.

You also want to embrace the transmedia content framework, something I’ve been advocating for a decade now; we have a version at Trust Insights called the video-first transmedia content framework. This means creating content in every format you can. This newsletter is a perfect example. Yes, it’s text, and that text is published both on my personal website and Substack (thus double-dipping in terms of what’s in Common Crawl). But I also load the video and subtitles to YouTube. We know for a fact that language models and multimodal models scrape YouTube like crazy (another reason to embrace accessibility) for caption content. And I load the audio from the video each week to Libsyn as a podcast.

I’ll add one more twist to your content marketing strategy. In the content you create, make sure your brand is getting mentioned in it. Make sure your name, your brand, and the terms you want to be known for are making it into each piece of content that gets published, because when models ingest this data, they form statistical associations among all the words in the content. If you’ve got a thousand blog posts on the web that are high quality content, but none of them mention your company name, then you’ve given model makers a thousand pieces of great training data that excludes you. At the very, very least, make sure your main content is injected with boilerplate copy at the end of every piece, something like this:

This post about content marketing and generative AI first appeared on Christopher Penn’s marketing AI blog.

You’ll hear in content I produce with Katie on the Trust Insights properties that we mention our products, services, company name, and major digital properties at the end of every episode. This is partly for the humans, but partly for the machines ingesting all that content. No matter what we’re talking about in the In-Ear Insights podcast, it ends with us name-checking the company so that content gets incorporated into the text, and in turn that gets incorporated into language model training data AND search results. You’ll see this in our livestream and other content as well.

There’s one final power tip for jump starting the process, but that’s intentionally behind the paywall in my Generative AI for Marketers course.

Wrap Up

So let’s summarize (surprisingly, not done with AI):

• Yes, AI-enabled search is a thing (and is probably going to be more of a thing)
• Get ready for it by being everywhere
• Make content in as many formats as possible so multimodal models train on it
• Make sure you’re mentioning yourself in all your content somehow
• Keep investing in SEO, it’s not going anywhere

Machine-Generated Transcript

What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

Christopher Penn: In today’s episode, Aaron asks, How do I gain more practical experience with generative AI? I’m trying all the tutorials and watching all the videos.

How do I? How do I understand how to put this into production? If your organization is not giving you those opportunities right now, that’s okay.

Here is a simple, easy, straightforward way to get more experience with generative AI.

Volunteer, volunteer somewhere, learn the capabilities of generative AI, and then go volunteer at your local pet shelter or homeless shelter or, you know, intimate partner violence program, whatever the thing is in your area that you care about, that you want to devote some time to.

And right now, you just don’t have time to do it because you’re trying to pursue other priorities.

Volunteer, use these tools to see what you can do with them, and what their limitations are and and how to grow your skills.

My friend and Hanley and her newsletter recently pointed out that animal shelters are using generative AI to come up with catchy, snappy descriptions for, you know, animals needing adoption, right? Because the staff has only a limited amount of time.

So if they can crank out 40 or 50 descriptions very quickly, they can get those animals up on the website faster, they can get them that much closer to adoption.

That’s a great use case for generative AI.

I think it’s a huge time saver.

And it will help it will help cut down the time you know, staff spends on that so they can spend time doing other things.

Where if you work at a nonprofit, maybe they’re their finance departments really struggling to do an audit or really struggling to understand, you know, patterns in their data, use generative AI and a tool like chat GPT is advanced data analysis to help them analyze their data and understand what’s going on.

Maybe you have a nonprofit, it’s got a big fundraiser coming up.

And you know, they’ve they’ve got a landing page on the internet.

And they’re like, we’re just not getting, you know, the conversions we want.

Lots of people are visiting it, but they’re not converting.

Use generative AI to generate an ideal customer Christopher Penn: profile, then evaluate that page for UI UX suggestions for that customer profile and help them fix things up faster.

The reason to volunteer is because they’re real world situations, right? They’re not synthetic, if you’re going to spend the time learning this stuff, do it with an organization that can benefit from it, do it in something that’s non competitive, so employers not going to have a problem with it, and do some good with it, do some good with it.

If you can help that, you know, small local business, get too more customers a month, that’s going to help that business grow, it’s going to help that business succeed.

There’s no shortage of companies that need the capabilities of generative AI and someone skilled in its use.

They also cannot afford it.

And they cannot afford someone with your capabilities, you know, real or, you know, actualized today or that you’re trying to grow.

As long as everyone is transparent and upfront, like, hey, I want more experience with this, I’m volunteering specifically to get Christopher Penn: more experience with this technology.

How can I use it with you? It’s a win for everyone.

Right? Unless you work in an animal shelter, and you really love animals, then show like I adopted seven dogs, whoops, it’s a it’s an emotional win, but it might be a bit of chaos at home.

But that’s the easiest example.

Go volunteer, go find organizations that need AI and can’t afford AI.

And using off the shelf tools like, you know, Gemini advanced or chat GPT, plus, or stable diffusion, Excel, work those tools into their workflow, help them save time, save money, get more done that they couldn’t otherwise get done.

Think about I used to work at a nonprofit that was in mental health, and just writing donor letters took them forever.

Today, if I was still at that nonprofit, I’d be like, Okay, give us give me the facts, give me the template, we’re gonna have generative AS spin out 500 letters in the next minute and a half, and you’ll be done for this quarter’s fundraiser.

And you can move on to other things.

And the letters will be better.

Because, you know, if as long as your prompt is good, you’ll get good results.

So please go out and use these tools and technologies to make society better.

There is an organization of some kind that can benefit from it.

A friend of mine, the other week, challenged me, she said, challenge you to use it to write a sermon for a church on a very specific topic.

And I was like, Okay, I mean, that’s not my religion.

So I don’t know anything about it.

But you know what generative AI did it.

So I gave it some parameters had a long conversation with it generated a 23 minute sermon.

And the feedback I got from them was that was pretty good.

It missed some quirks that are always present in that particular sect’s way of talking about things.

But longtime members of that church were like, yeah, I had no bones to pick about the content of the sermon, the machine did a really good job.

So even there, something as simple as how do you help, you know, your your religious organization or other volunteer effort? How do you help them do more? Use generative AI? It’s the best way to learn it.

It’s the best way to show real results.

And it’s the best way to get endorsements about it on things like your LinkedIn profile, right? You go volunteer for the local pet shelter.

And the pet shelter CEOs like Chris did this amazing job with generative AI and, you know, cut all this time that we were wasting on these things.

And, and we were a adopting dogs at 1.2 x the rate we used to be.

So it’s a success story not just for generative AI, but for you as a practitioner of AI.

Go volunteer.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks for it.

And thanks for watching today’s show.

What’s On My Mind: A Large Language Model Power Technique

This week, I’m going to share with you one power technique that will dramatically increase your productivity and accuracy when using large language models, like the ones that power ChatGPT and similar software. But before I delve into the technique itself, we need to go over some very basic foundational aspects of transformer-based models.

Large language models have two conceptual types of memory. This explanation is mathematically incorrect, so know that from the beginning, if you go read the relevant academic papers and you do the calculus yourself, this is not how the models mechanically work under the hood. But for now, this is a good conceptual model to remember.

Like you and me, language models have two kinds of memory, long-term and short-term. Long-term memory, also known by the fancy technical term latent space, is the statistical library of everything the model was trained on. To be clear, the original documents it was trained from are NOT in its long-term memory. Instead, a model’s long-term memory is essentially a bunch of associations. It’s seen “I pledge allegiance to the” so many times that it can predict with near-mathematical certainty that the next word in the sentence should be flag, at least in North American English.

In general, the long-term memory of a language model is very large and diverse. It’s seen everything from the most credentialed academic papers to your drunk uncle’s Reddit shitposts, and it has learned language patterns from it (this is why all models have biases). The process of building that long-term memory is so intensive and expensive that companies rarely do it. When they do, there’s usually a big announcement, like when GPT-4, Claude 3, or Gemini 1.5 were announced, to much fanfare. This is why models often warn that they only have knowledge up to a certain date.

The short-term memory of a language model starts empty. It’s the memory used during a conversation, so when you first open up a browser window to Gemini or Claude or ChatGPT, there’s literally nothing there. The short-term memory is governed by some internal mechanics, but all models have a defined short-term memory; after you reach the limit of that memory, it starts forgetting the earliest parts of your conversation. How short is short-term memory? For some models, like the open-source LLaMa 2 model, the memory is as little as 2,200 words. For other models, like Claude 3 Opus and the upcoming Google Gemini 1.5, it’s as large as 700,000 words. Big or small, eventually models do run out of memory and delete the earliest information in their memories.

What makes transformers-based models – which is basically almost all language models today – different from their predecessors is a technical concept called attention. Without getting into details, the short conceptual summary is that attention means a model takes into account everything in its short-term memory to help predict what it’s going to say next. Everything in our prompt and subsequent conversations is used by the model for what it generates next.

I often call language models the smartest, most forgetful interns you’ve ever worked with. Their knowledge in their long-term memories is substantial, more than any human could know. Their short-term memory means they have to constantly be reminded of what they know, even within the space of a single conversation.

So, with that somewhat technical background, let’s talk about this prompting power technique. It goes like this:

What do you know about this topic?

Kind of anti-climactic, isn’t it? Let’s see what it looks like in practice so we can see the value of it. I’ll start with the basic RACE framework prompt (grab the free, no form or data required PDF here):

You are an expert virologist and epidemiologist. You know viruses, viral replication, RNA, mRNA, protein structures, spike proteins, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, COVID variants, and immune escape. Your first task is to explain the importance of position 13,468 on Open Reading Frame 1ab of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its significance for immunity.

That prompt fulfills the basic RACE framework. Let’s see what a model like ChatGPT says:

And for good measure, let’s see what Google Gemini says:

What’s important to note here is that both models have failed to mention the most salient fact about ORF1ab and position 13,468: it’s the mutation of the current COVID variant.

Now, let’s add our power technique:

You are an expert virologist and epidemiologist. You know viruses, viral replication, RNA, mRNA, protein structures, spike proteins, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, COVID variants, and immune escape. Your first task is to explain the importance of position 13,468 on Open Reading Frame 1ab of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its significance for immunity. What do you know about this topic?

Let’s see what ChatGPT has to say:

and Gemini:

In both cases, the query that ends with asking it what it knows delivers more detailed results. That alone is helpful. However, more important is the continued omission of the basic fact that the JN.1 variant is why this mutation is so significant.

What does that tell us? Right out of the gate, it tells us that the long-term memory of these models does NOT have any information about the JN.1 variant, which in turn means that if we want to use generative AI for this topic, we will need to supply that information ourselves. This, by the way, is one of the reasons why subject matter expertise and human review still matter a great deal. To the untrained eye, these responses might look fine, but for anyone in virology, these are deeply deficient responses.

Second, if we were to proceed, then the short-term memory already has quite a bit more information in it. Remember that these transformers-based models take into account everything within the short-term memory, so by asking a model what it knows, we’ve effectively multiplied the length of the starting prompt by several times.

Let’s take something that requires a bit less current knowledge to further illustrate the point. Suppose you are a real estate agent and you want to write up a description of a property for sale. Let’s say these are the basics of the property:

• 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath
• House built in 1920
• House in terrible condition but livable
• 6 rooms total
• 4770 square foot lot
• $4,064 annual taxes
• Seller asking $440,000
• House has 1,122 square feet total with a shingle roof, block foundation, bungalow style
• House has city water and sewer
• Not in a particularly nice part of the city
• Houses selling fast in the city, only 10 single family homes available in the entire city of 70,000 people, very hot market

Now, if you were to use a language model with the RACE framework to prompt it to write a property description, it might go like this:

You are a top-selling real estate agent. You know real estate, realtors, house sales, single family homes, residential real estate, buyer’s agent, seller’s agent. Your first task, as the seller’s agent for a property, is to write a compelling description of this house to attract potential buyers. Here are the details: (paste in the list above) Write a compelling housing description.

What kind of description will we get?

Let’s see what ChatGPT has to say:

and Gemini:

These descriptions aren’t bad, but the models don’t have much to work with in the prompt, so what they come up with is a bit bland, generic, and dry.

Now, let’s start the conversation a little differently, using our power technique.

You are a top-selling real estate agent. You know real estate, realtors, house sales, single family homes, residential real estate, buyer’s agent, seller’s agent. Your first task, as the seller’s agent for a property, is to write a compelling description of this house to attract potential buyers. What do you know about the best practices for writing compelling real estate property descriptions to attract the attention of buyers?

Each model will tell us what it knows about the topic and some general best practices. What it’s doing as well is filling in what’s basically a very long prompt filled with the general best practices.

Let’s see what ChatGPT has to say:

and Gemini:

Now, with these pre-loaded expert prompts, let’s take a look at the revised listings.

Let’s see what ChatGPT has to say:

and Gemini:

Qualitatively, these responses are not just a little better, they’re a lot better. There’s still definitely some tweaking to do to make them better listings, but you can see just how including the basic best practices – pulled from the model’s long-term memory – into the conversation made for a better result.

Naturally, if your firm has a specific style of writing, or you have a database of listings that sold really fast, you’d want to include that context as well to create exactly the kind of output you want.

Asking a model what it knows about a topic is a fast way to tell whether or not the model is even capable of generating correct outputs, and pre-loading the conversation with rich information that substantially improves what it generates. Add this into your workflow to make your work with generative AI and large language models much better.
