More Tips for ChatGPT
- Sometimes it gets confused if you change topics in the middle of a conversation. When you want to change the subject, start a new chat.
- It will remember what you have said in the course of a conversation, so you do not have to repeat everything again.
- Do not ask ChatGPT for a list of sources. It might make them up. Instead use library search, library databases, or Google Scholar.
- Choose an output format. In addition to paragraphs, it can give you a table, a bulleted list, multiple choice quiz questions, computer code, and more.
- In ChatGPT you can see a history of your conversations and in the Settings, you can delete your history and turn off the saving of future history. You can also export your history and save it on your own computer.
- Remember, do not enter any personal, private data in ChatGPT, because OpenAI may use your input to help improve the model.
- If you do not want your data used to train the ChatGPT model, you can turn it off in the settings (which also means it will not save your chats).
- We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the new
