What a Prompt Is
Captions available
The idea
A prompt is everything you give a generative AI tool: an instruction or question, often with context, input material or examples.
In practice
The DAIR.AI prompting guide: simple prompts can do a lot, but quality depends on the information given and how well the prompt is written.
Where people slip
The tool fills any gap in the prompt with a guess.
