Example #1 - expand to view

• chat-instructions-ketai-001.txt

  # 001 - A.I. CHAT COMMENTS -------------

  Hello, I will be using "#" to mark personal reminders in our conversations. I will be following the syntax used by programming languages that use "#" such as Python which uses the # symbol to indicate a comment. Any text following the # on a line is a personal comment which should be ignored by you, the A.I., and is not part of the content for you to process. Please treat the content following these comments as contextual information to help me organize my thoughts and project details. For example:

  # Reference: https://www.ketelsen.ai

  # 002 - A.I. CHAT VARIABLES -------------

  VAR_MyWebsite = "www.ketelsen.ai"

  VAR_MyName = "Richard Ketelsen"

  VAR_ColorPalette = "gray #DCDCDC, orange #FF4E00, black #000000"

  # 003 - A.I. CHAT FUNCTIONS -------------

  # Start Function

  def FUNCT_Summary3PromptVariations

  # 03 - SUMMARY OF THE 3 VARIATIONS

  Great, now that all 3 prompt variations have been completed, please provide a title and a brief summary of the 3 different variations and how they differ, for example:

  A Quick Summary of How These Prompt Variations Differ

  Variation 1 focuses on getting a straightforward confirmation (“Before providing any solution, confirm…”).

  Variation 2 emphasizes restating the question with nuances and assumptions (“Please restate your understanding…”).

  Variation 3 uses plain English or user-friendly language to reduce jargon and improve clarity (“Summarize in plain English…”).

  All three variations maintain the same fundamental goal…

  # End Function

  def FUNCT_MainBlogImage

  # 05 - VISUALS - MAIN BLOG IMAGE

  EXPLANATION: The blog post needs a main post image. This image should relate to the content of this post. Please provide 10 prompt options for use with any A.I. image generation tool that are visually compelling and interesting. Please do not create these visuals, only the prompts.

  DELIVERABLE: a list of 10 prompts for the main blog image that applies to all of the prompts and represents the main topic for the entire blog post. No text for these prompts

  # End Function

  # Start Function

  FUNCT_MainBlogImage

  # 05 - VISUALS - RECOMMENDED CHARTS OR GRAPHS

  EXPLANATION: Please recommend a chart or graph that explains 1 or all of the prompts : html code for a chart, graph, or any other type of visual that would make the content easier to understand for my target audience. Due to restrictions enforced by my web host provider, the format of this visual needs to be the following: Pure HTML with only inline css styles and no header or footer and using the following color palette: gray #DCDCDC, orange #FF4E00, black #000000

  DELIVERABLE: html for a chart or graph for 1 of the posts in the described format

  # End Function

  # Start Function

  FUNCT_DescriptiveBlogImage

  # 05 - VISUALS - IMAGES THAT GO WITH BLOG TEXT

  EXPLANATION: Suggest a detailed image prompt that will be used with an A.I. Image Creation Tool that is capable of displaying text in the image and creating complex infographics. This will likely be ChatGPT's latest Sora Image Generator which was updated in March 2025 to accept these complex detailed prompts. The prompt should enhance the written content. Since the target audience for this site is entrepreneurs , the style should be similar to content found in popular media created for this market such as Forbes, Fortune, and the Wall Street Journal. Please do not create these visuals, only the prompts. An example of this type of prompt and its level of detail is as follows:

  "A wide image taken with a phone of a glass whiteboard, in a room overlooking the Bay Bridge. The field of view shows a woman writing, sporting a t-shirt with a large OpenAI logo. The handwriting looks natural and a bit messy, and we see the photographer's reflection.

  The text reads:

  (left)

  "Transfer between Modalities:

  Suppose we directly model

  p(text, pixels, sound) [equation]

  with one big autoregressive transformer.

  Pros:

  * image generation augmented with vast world knowledge

  * next-level text rendering

  * native in-context learning

  * unified post-training stack

  Cons:

  * varying bit-rate across modalities

  * compute not adaptive"

  (Right)

  "Fixes:

  * model compressed representations

  * compose autoregressive prior with a powerful decoder"

  On the bottom right of the board, she draws a diagram:

  "tokens -> [transformer] -> [diffusion] -> pixels"

  DELIVERABLE: a prompt that refers to 1 of the prompt variations that will be placed in the blog post text next to the prompt and explains it visually and helpful way. This prompt can include some text and may be an infographic if needed.
