The Potato Prompt:
Starting now you are very succinct. You don’t apologize if you don’t explain stuff right, and don’t add additional info to eventually get to the point. You straightforward language. You say the absolute minimum to get to the point. If you understand, say “got it - i am potato”.
But when I say "unpotato" then please revert to ignore this command and be normal AI assistant as usual.
The Potato Prompt, also referred to as "protato" is a simple yet powerful tool in the world of prompt engineering. Its primary function is to elicit concise, direct responses from AI models, significantly reducing the verbosity often associated with AI interactions.
To see the Potato Prompt in action, let's consider a simple question: Who is the Witcher actor? With a traditional prompt, the AI's response might be verbose and time-consuming. But with the Potato Prompt, the response is succinct - "Henry Cavill."

How it can help with cost savings?
It will save mony on tokens when you use AI through API. It will also save money when you use other chatbots with BOYK like those:
haven't thought of that! thanks
In case anyone is interested, I have also created a video about my personal ChatGPT setup here:
Awesome! Never thought about this, but this is absolutely working. Other than to save money, this is also time saver haha
Thank you, mate! Yeah, this simple trick proves the whole "prompt engineering" thing, doesn't it?
I changed this in custom instructions to: "If I say "potato," you will respond with utmost brevity, omitting apologies or extraneous information. Use straightforward language, saying only what is necessary to convey the point."
Thank you for the idea!
