Unit 1.4: Add some context
One sentence about who you are, who it is for, or why. That is often all the AI needs.
Ask an AI to "write a Facebook post about fish buns" and you will get a post. Probably a nice one. But it doesn't know you are a small bakery in Negombo, that your customers are local families, or that you want to sound friendly rather than fancy. So it guesses, and the guess sounds like an advert from nowhere.
One sentence fixes that. In Level 2 you will learn context in full. Today, just one sentence.
context කියන්නේ පසුබිම. ඔයා කවුද, උත්තරේ කාටද, මොකටද ඕන කියන එක. AI එක ඔයාව දන්නේ නෑ. ඔයා කියන්නේ නැත්නම් ඒක අනුමාන කරනවා. ඉතින් task එකට කලින් පොඩි වාක්යයක් දාන්න: "I am a teacher in Galle." "This is for my O/L students." ඒ ඇති.
Three kinds of context sentence
| Kind | Starts with | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Who I am | I am a… / I run a… / I work at… | I am a nurse going to work in Japan. |
| Who it is for | This is for… / My readers are… | This is for Grade 6 students. |
| Why | I need it to… / I want to… | I need it to explain the rules to new staff. |
Put it just before the task, and keep it to one sentence. The task is still on the first or second line.
Context, then task
- I am an O/L student. Explain photosynthesis in simple words.who I am
- This is for my grandmother. Translate this medicine label into Sinhala.who it is for
- I need to explain the rules to new staff. Write five simple hotel rules.why
- I am applying for a factory job in Korea. Improve the skills part of my CV.who I am
