Side note: Why use one LLM when you can use more? I like to refine my prompt, then give the same task to multiple LLMs using that prompt. Then, I review all the results and pick the best bits - like a mini brainstorming session!

Put my learning to the test

Used "The Perfect Prompt Framework" to have an LLM craft a prompt for my presentation outline - then ran it in a new chat to generate the outline. Prompting 4 the win!🎯

Subject: A white long-haired cat with soft, fluffy fur.

Acting: The cat sits on an open windowsill with a fine mesh screen, eyes half-closed, gently sniffing the fresh spring air. It appears content and relaxed, soaking in the warmth of the day.

Style: Natural and realistic, with fine details in the cat’s fur. The image has a soft, warm color palette, with natural sunlight casting a gentle glow on the scene.

Place: A suburban Calgary backyard, south-facing, featuring a small patch of green grass, a detached garage, and two empty cedar planters waiting for the year’s garden.

Time of Day: Early afternoon in April, with clear skies and bright sunlight casting soft shadows.

Photographic Equipment: A high-resolution DSLR camera with a 50mm f/1.8 lens, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the cat in sharp focus while slightly blurring the background. Natural lighting enhances the softness and warmth of the image.
