Say you want ChatGPT to analyze some data for you. You could tell it to “provide a data analysis report,” but the chatbot could interpret that in an unintended fashion — numbers can be sliced in different ways — and deliver an answer that isn’t very helpful.
A prompt engineer might try something more like this, according to a tutorial from AI education startup DataCamp: “As a data analyst, describe the process you would follow to analyze a dataset containing sales data for a retail store. Please include the steps to explore sales trends over time, identify top-selling products, and evaluate sales performance by region for the last quarter.”
