ChatGPT is a powerful but limited assistant tool. It currently cannot complete papers independently and requires human supplementation of literature reviews. Content generated by AI also needs to be reviewed by humans to prevent content that does not conform to human civilization.

Whether it's writing a paper, programming, or answering questions, doing a good job and achieving your goals largely depends on how you set up your prompt words. Many people's operations when trying to polish a paper are too simple, such as pasting a paragraph of an English paper and simply giving a prompt word "polish". This will limit GPT's performance because the scope of "polish" is really broad, and there is no clear standard.

Below are the AI paper prompt word skills we have always sorted out, all shared with everyone!

Optimizing Prompt Words

Directly prompting "polish" is not effective and lacks a clear standard. Specific scenarios and requirements should be provided to allow ChatGPT to tailor content according to needs.

Role Play

Before engaging in a dialogue with ChatGPT, an effective method is to let it play a specific role, especially GPT-4, which has excellent role-playing capabilities. Here are some common methods:

1. Ask it to play the role of a professional paper reviewer to give review opinions on the paper draft, and then modify the paper based on the opinions.

2. When modifying specific paper content, let it play the role of an expert in your research field so that its expression can be more accurate and professional.

Prompt: You are now playing the role of an expert in [insert your field of study], from a professional perspective, do you think there are any parts of the above content that need to be modified? Note, do not modify the entire text, you need to point out the parts that need to be modified one by one, and give modification suggestions as well as recommended modified content.

Advanced Skills

Logical Argument Assistance

GPT 4.0 has made significant improvements in logical reasoning and can be used to assist in constructing more persuasive arguments.

Prompt: Please help me analyze and optimize the logical structure of this argument to make it more persuasive.

Timely Feedback

If ChatGPT misunderstands your question, you can give it a wrong feedback to let it answer again.

Prompt: Note, not... but... please answer the previous question again based on my supplement.

If you think the answer is not good enough or the direction is wrong, you can ask it to answer again and specify the focus.

Prompt: It's still the same question, I think your answer is not good enough. Please answer it again, this time you should focus on removing the redundancy in this paragraph.

Chinese-English Translation

You can directly translate Chinese into English-style English, note that if the dialogue with ChatGPT is in the same window, after communicating for a period of time, then the translation effect of using ChatGPT is better than Google, especially for the translation of professional terms, it will understand you better!

Prompt: Translate the above Chinese into the corresponding English, the requirement is to have the writing style of a paper.

Title and Acronym

You can ask ChatGPT for help in creating titles for paragraphs, creating acronyms for methods, etc.

Prompt: What are some acronyms for "XXX"? Please give me several options and reasons so that they can be used in papers.

Content Continuation

This method is generally suitable for situations where you really can't think of what content to add and you want to increase the word count.

Prompt: Based on your knowledge about [xxx], polish and continue the above content to make it richer and more complete.

The following method can solve the problem of incomplete output at one time and the situation of disconnection during the output process to a certain extent.

Prompt: [Insert your requirements here...] Since your output length is limited, to save space. Please use ellipsis for the parts you think are not necessary to modify.

GPT Guided Prompt

The quality of input directly determines the quality of output. How to better do prompt words? Maybe you can use GPT itself to complete this.

Prompt: I am trying to get the following prompt word from GPT-4: 'your prompt word'. Can you write a better prompt word for GPT-4 to use, so as to produce better results?

Of course, you can play on this basis, for example, you can let it modify and then return the English result, usually, GPT performs better in English than in Chinese.

During the polishing process, ChatGPT can provide multiple versions of modification suggestions for comparison and selection.

Prompt: Please provide multiple versions for reference.

Reorganization

Prompt: I wrote the XXX part, but I am not satisfied with its structure and coherence. Please help me reorganize the content to improve its coherence.

Providing Unique Insights

Prompt: Please provide me with some unique insights based on the latest research you know so that I can discuss them in the paper.

In-depth Analysis and Evaluation

Prompt: Please help me conduct an in-depth analysis of these research methods and data, and provide me with an evaluation of their advantages and disadvantages.
