To use these templates, simply copy and paste your chosen prompt into your community platform. Encourage members to reply with their own answers in the comments or discussion threads. Consider pinning a fill-in-the-blank post as a daily or weekly activity, or use them to kick off themed discussions. Mix up the topics to keep things fresh and relevant to your members' interests.
On all platforms, post at times when your community is most active. Use clear formatting for the blank space, such as an underscore or brackets, so members know where to respond. If available, use polls or pinned posts to boost visibility and participation.
To encourage prompt engineering skills, use templates that leave key parts of an AI prompt blank, such as the task, tone, or constraints (e.g., 'Write a [genre] story in a [tone] voice for [audience]'). This allows members to experiment with how different prompt variables influence AI-generated outputs, fostering hands-on learning about effective prompt design.
Templates that highlight areas susceptible to bias—such as character names, settings, or cultural references—can prompt critical discussions. For example, 'The AI described [character] as [adjective] because [reason].' This format invites members to analyze how AI models might perpetuate stereotypes and to share methods for mitigating bias in generated content.
Create side-by-side fill-in-the-blank prompts where members fill in the same blank using outputs from different LLMs (e.g., GPT-4 vs. Claude). For example, 'When prompted with [blank], GPT-4 wrote: [blank], while Claude wrote: [blank].' This sparks technical discussion about model capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
Use templates that focus on specificity, such as 'I asked the AI to [do what?] about [topic], and it responded with [output]. The hallucinated fact was [blank].' This format encourages members to reflect on how vague prompts can lead to hallucinations and to share strategies for crafting clearer, more precise instructions.
Offer templates that explore training data and user intent, such as 'If I fine-tune an AI model on [dataset], I expect it to improve at [writing task], but it might also [potential risk].' This allows members to discuss dataset selection, overfitting, and domain adaptation in the context of writing outputs.
Encourage members to contribute to collaborative prompt-building with templates like 'For our next story challenge, let's use: Setting: [blank], Main Character: [blank], Twist: [blank].' This not only generates a pool of diverse ideas but also showcases how different prompt components influence AI-generated narratives.
