Just came up with a way to improve project instructions!

I doubt this is a brand new thought, but I figured I’d share it here since we’ve talked about project instructions quite a bit.

I’m relaunching my blog and plan on using ChatGPT to write the articles. BUT I didn’t want information that isn’t mine in any of my posts. They’ll be my work, I’m just using AI to help with phrasing and so on. So I linked my project folders where I work on my content, linked my website, and gave specific instructions to only use info that I give and my sources. Once a detailed outline is set, it can suggest outside info and include links so I can verify it. Secondary sources are flagged as such and social media only info is also flagged.

Then I opened a new chat in the project folder and asked ChatGPT to review the instructions for clarity and tell me its interpretation of them. After I reviewed that I asked for any suggested additions to the instructions. It had some great ones! After I reviewed it all, I asked for all suggestions to be listed together so I could copy and paste them.

As a result, I have a VERY long set of instructions for my blog project folders that will help me and keep it authentically me!
