Introduction Welcome to the second edition of ChatGPT For Dummies. You’ll find that this edition isn’t a simple update to the first edition, but rather a complete rewrite to better cover the new models, features, and capabilities that arose after the printing of the first edition. At the time of ChatGPT’s initial release, it was easy to think of the chatbot as a one-off phenomenon or a hot new trend given its abrupt and sensational emergence on the public scene. But this technology was a harbinger of immense and permanent change. Whether it ultimately succeeds or fails, ChatGPT is changing how humans work, play, live, and interact with the world. It’s also paving the way for the advancement of generative AI (GenAI) tools as a permanent fixture and influencer in the human experience. ChatGPT is evolving fast, making it difficult for anyone to understand and follow its rapid progression. This book is intended to help bring you up to speed on how it works and how to use it. Yes, ChatGPT will continue to advance after this book is published, but you’ll still have a working knowledge of the technology that you can build upon while continuing to learn as changes occur. Further, you’ll have skills that will help you adapt to and use other AI models — some inevitably far more advanced — as time marches on. If you feel some unease about AI in general and ChatGPT in particular, know that your gut reaction is common and not entirely unwarranted. This technology will most certainly change the nature of work and how your job is done. But also know that AI isn’t going to take jobs away from most people. Someone good at using AI will. Get

ahead of the curve with this book, and maybe get a promotion too! Learning these new skills isn’t as hard as you might think! About This Book The emphasis in this second edition is on how to use ChatGPT, with intense and expansive discussions and guidance on prompting techniques. This book is loaded with specific steps, practical tips, and tons of examples. By comparison, the previous edition of ChatGPT For Dummies touched on prompting but focused on explaining what ChatGPT is and how it works. With this second edition, ChatGPT For Dummies continues to be a comprehensive but easily understood text on the topic, especially at the beginner or introductory level. And make no mistake. Outside of a select group of AI scientists, everyone is a beginner when it comes to ChatGPT. Take comfort in knowing that you’re learning alongside millions of other people worldwide. If you’re already experimenting or working with ChatGPT, you’ll find many ways in this book to leverage what you already know plus a lot of new things to incorporate in your efforts to get even more out of ChatGPT. Please do note that the discussion of ChatGPT includes explanations and mentions of GPT models that undergird ChatGPT but are also used as the AI models for applications other than this chatbot. It’s good for you to know that in case you’re working with multiple GenAI tools. For example, if you’re using one AI to fact-check

another, you don’t want to accidentally prompt the same model to fact-check itself. References to ChatGPT-like tools and models may or may not mean that they’re technically similar to ChatGPT. For example, competing models may or may not have large language models (LLMs) as their foundation, as ChatGPT does, but they’re still referred to as “similar” here because their user interface and functionality closely resemble those of ChatGPT. In this way, you can more easily compare and understand the various generative AI chatbots on the market without getting dragged through the technical weeds. Some web addresses break across two lines of text. If you’re reading this book in print and want to visit one of these web pages, simply type the address exactly as it’s noted in the text, pretending the line break doesn’t exist. If you’re reading this as an ebook, you have it easy; just click the web address to be taken directly to the web page. Foolish Assumptions This book is written for anyone seeking to understand and use ChatGPT in their work and daily life as well as to prepare for inevitable changes that ChatGPT will introduce. I make certain assumptions about this book’s audience as a practical matter. For instance, I assume that you possess a limited understanding of ChatGPT and are in hot pursuit of leveling up your prompting skills. I assume also that you have at least a basic level of comfort and skill in working with computing devices, browsers, and web applications. Finally, I assume, as it is with every Dummies book, that you’re smart and pressed for time

and therefore want all meat and no fluff in a fast and easy read. I hope I hit that mark for you. Icons Used in This Book Occasionally you’ll come across symbols in the margins of this book. Their purpose is to point you to important information along the way. Here are what these symbols indicate: This icon points to tips and tricks you may want to use to make your work with ChatGPT easier, faster, more efficient, or more fun. This icon alerts you that I am going to do some deeper dives into the more technical aspects of ChatGPT and other generative AI applications. This icon highlights information of particular importance in successfully understanding or using ChatGPT. This icon warns you of a stumbling block or danger that may not be obvious to you until it’s too late. Please make careful note of warnings.

Beyond the Book In addition to the material in the print or ebook you’re reading right now, this product comes with an access- anywhere cheat sheet. To get to the cheat sheet, go to www.dummies.com and type ChatGPT For Dummies cheat sheet in the Search box. You’ll find helpful user tips, info on where to access ChatGPT in its many forms, pointers on prompt writing, and a few words of advice on how to make it deliver the output you need precisely the way you need it. Where to Go from Here This is a reference book, so you don’t have to read it cover to cover unless you want to soak in all the new information at once. Also, feel free to read the chapters in any order. Each chapter is designed to stand alone, meaning you don’t have to know the material in previous chapters to understand the chapter you’re reading. Start anywhere and finish when you feel you have all the information you need for whatever task is at hand. But if your aim is to work on your prompting skills specifically, you should focus on the chapters in Part 2: Chapter 4 on the basics of writing prompts; Chapter 5 on leveling up your prompting skills; Chapter 6 on manipulating prompts; and Chapter 7 on advanced prompting to guide you through the process. Be sure to also read Chapter 9, where you’re guided through adapting prompts to your work processes and vice versa. Chapter 12 on creating images and art, Chapter 13 on writing and editing, and Chapter 14 on using ChatGPT in video and audio production will guide you on ways to use this technology to produce different types of content.
