All assignments below should be done in the Playground (https://beta.openai.com/playground) with default settings.
<aside> đ Assignment 1 - âOrder a textâ
Go to https://beta.openai.com/playground
Describe in a single sentence, what kind of text you would like and let GPT-3 write it for you. Make sure there are no line breaks or concluding spaces in your prompt, it often confuses GPT-3. Try with different genres of text (article, story, recipe, poem etc)
Examples:
Write a poem about #FF00FF.
Write list of things to do when you are sad.
Create an outline for an essay about the role of computers in poetry.
**Write a fairytale about a jar of honey and a Nintendo Wii controller.
**
Write 10 tagline suggestions for a shop that sells smoked salmon and leather boots.

<aside> đ **Assignment 2 - Letâs make some better poems about things!
1)** Find 2-3 different images on your computer or online
2) Go to https://huggingface.co/spaces/Salesforce/BLIP, upload your images and get a descriptive image caption for each image.
3) Go to https://beta.openai.com/playground and use the image captions from step 2 to generate a poem based on the image.
Your prompt instruction could be as simple as
Write a poem about [insert image caption].
Or perhaps try to âsteerâ the poem in a certain direction, by exploring different adjectives that describe the poem, or by adding in the style of Sylvia Plath, horror poem or similar to your instructions.

<aside> đ Assignment 3 - providing examples
Sometimes just asking for a text does not really give you the results you want. It often helps if you add examples of the kind of inputs (prompts) and outputs (generated texts) you want.
Example: Letâs say we want to generate a chatbot that has a certain tone of voice, and for instance want it to be really sarcastic. Instead of only writing an instruction, we can provide a few examples of questions and answers showing the API how to reply. It will not be perfect, but generally a few examples improves the outputs quite a lot.
Try it out here: https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/default-marv-sarcastic-chat
âłIf we have time: Try to change both the instructions and the examples for the chatbot, to give it a different tone of voice. Lets say you want to make it very sweetđ, secretiveđ„ž or perhaps very melancholicđ„ș, how would you design the instruction and the examples?
If you have a lot of data with input-output pairs, you can also fine-tune GPT-3, which improves quality, lowers latency and is cheaper once trained. See this guide https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

For projects that use APIâs it might be a good idea to run p5js in a local editor, see this guide for one way of doing so)
