ChatGPT tip from The Brainyacts newsletter: Controlling "temperature" of responses. When working with advanced AI models like ChatGPT, you can control the model's output behavior by adjusting a parameter called "temperature." In plain language, the temperature setting helps you manage how creative or focused the AI's responses will be. In this explainer, I will show you what temperature is, how to use it, and provide some examples to help you understand its effects. What is temperature? Temperature, in the context of AI models, refers to a parameter that influences the randomness or creativity of the generated text. A high temperature encourages the model to explore more diverse and creative possibilities, while a low temperature guides it towards more focused and deterministic responses. Think of temperature as a dial that helps you control the balance between creativity and consistency in AI-generated text. How to use temperature: To use temperature, you simply adjust the temperature value when providing a prompt to the AI. The value ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 being the most focused and deterministic, and 1 being the most creative and random. Typically, a value of around 0.7 provides a good balance between creativity and coherence. Example Prompt: [goal: Finish this statement.] A dog is to a cat, as a milk bottle is to [Instructions: temperature = .01] (note I used .01 and then 1.0) or [goal: Provide a list of ideas for writing a post about the following - generative ai and lawyers] temperature = .01] Here is link to example output: sharegpt.com/c/Vot3p17
