AI and Research

This guide is intended to give you resources and information to help you navigate the use of artificial intelligence in your research.

AI Literacy

Prompt Generation

Crafting succinct, specific prompts will give you more useful results no matter what tool you are using. Be both as simple and detailed as possible with clear language that the AI can grab onto, the more tokens you add the more data the prompt has to check against the data set, however, too many words can cause the result to get muddled. For example: Design a yellow book cover for a children's story about a family of blank garden ants. Most of these platforms have a built-in history for your prompts so it learns over time. Others, you can just keep tweaking the prompt until the right result hits. As you gain more experience writing prompts with different AI Tools, you’ll get better results.
