ChatGPT Masters Use These 7 Prompt Frameworks.

Let me guess….

You typed something into ChatGPT, hit enter, and got a response that made you say “eww.”

It’s not your fault.

Most people type in a question, hit send, and get a random reply that barely helps.

Because it’s not about what you ask, it’s how you ask it.

You need to speak its language.

That’s where prompt frameworks come in.
