Prompting recommendations for Claude 3 Opus
Deep analysis of complex systems:
-
Provide extensive data and context for a comprehensive analysis.
-
Ask for detailed conclusions that account for many factors.
Example:
Carry out a comprehensive analysis of the global financial system. Consider historical trends, current problems and potential scenarios for the next 20 years. Take economic, political and technological factors into account.
Advanced writing and editing:
-
Use the model to create complex, well-structured texts.
-
Ask it to work through style and substance in depth.
Example:
Write an in-depth essay on the impact of artificial intelligence on the future of work. Include an analysis of historical parallels, current trends and expert forecasts. Structure the text with an introduction, a main body of three sections and a conclusion.
Interdisciplinary research:
-
Combine knowledge from different fields to get unique insights.
-
Ask for an analysis of the connections between different disciplines.
Example:
Explore the relationship between quantum physics, neuroscience and the philosophy of consciousness. Propose new hypotheses at the intersection of these disciplines.
Complex creative tasks:
-
Set tasks that call for a high level of creativity and a deep grasp of context.
-
Experiment with unusual combinations of genres and styles.
Example:
Write a screenplay for a science fiction film that combines elements of classical tragedy, contemporary political satire and futuristic technology. Develop the main characters, the plot line and the key scenes.
Detailed technical modelling:
-
Use the model's capabilities to develop complex technical concepts.
-
Ask for detailed descriptions, diagrams and potential applications.
Example:
Develop a concept for an innovative system for terraforming Mars. Describe the technological principles, the components required and the stages of the project. Consider the potential problems and ways to solve them.
