Prompt

Since the launch of GPT’s, prompts take on a whole different look and feel. You can now create specialists to have conversations with and do things in a way that gives much more granularity to the response. You can also train the model on specific data. It really takes prompting to a whole new level. As an example, here is my French language learning GPT, Frenchie. Give him a try here. As with BIDARA above, if you can’t access try again soon.
