QUIZ: Prompting Basics
QUIZ: Prompting Basics
What is an AI prompt?
*
A computer program that runs AI systems
The output generated by an AI system
A type of search engine optimization technique
Instructions or requests you provide to an AI system to guide its response
In the input-processing-output cycle, what happens during the processing phase?
*
The AI converts your text into tokens
The AI analyzes relationships between tokens using attention mechanisms
The AI saves your prompt for future reference
The AI generates the final response
What is tokenization in AI processing?
*
Breaking down input text into smaller units that AI can process
Converting AI responses back into human language
Encrypting prompts for security purposes
Measuring the cost of AI processing
How does AI prompting differ from traditional search engines?
*
It's required by law for AI usage
It's the only way to access AI systems
It's the most expensive part of using AI
It determines the quality and usefulness of AI outputs across all applications
Which of the following is NOT a key component of effective prompting?
*
Including relevant context
Providing clear instructions
Using technical programming language
Iterating and refining based on results
What is the main advantage of the conversational nature of AI prompting?
*
It allows for iterative refinement and building upon previous interactions
It's more entertaining than traditional search
It requires less typing than search queries
It works without an internet connection
Why is prompting considered a universal skill for AI usage?
*
It's mandated by AI companies
All AI systems use identical prompting methods
Prompting only works with one type of AI system
