How to Unlock the Creative Genius of GPT? Use roles!

Recent research demonstrated that AI is more creative than humans. But why are numerous authors still miffed at GPT, deeming it dim-witted and losing their patience?

The reason is as plain as a pikestaff — one needs to know how to work with AI. Indeed, you heard it right — to get GPT to churn out something useful and accurate, one must grasp how to communicate with it. And it’s not about wielding magical prompt manipulations but rather about adopting a general approach.

Here’s a broad recommendation for achieving maximum efficiency, based on my experience over the last year (the author works as a creator of creative concepts, scriptwriter, and director):

In a new chat, briefly describe what you have and what you desire to achieve, and ask the question — which roles are suitable for this? Note that different roles trigger different sets of context and tones in communication.

Next, inquire about the best format for providing the data to receive the desired response.

And now, you can conjure your own magical prompt.
As [role], use [data] to accomplish [result].

here is the roles available in GPT-4. I ask claud to classify them.
