List of banned tells for GPT

1) Just watched Andy Stapleton youtube-video about echo technique for working with chatGPT. After that I have made my list of banned tells for GPT. Here it is.

You must not use these words and phrases: Vibrant, Bustling, Vital, Out of the box, Underscores, Dive into, Reverberate, Delve, Hustle and bustle, Foster, Labyrinthine, Moist, Remnant, Nestled, Game changer, Symphony, Gossamer, Enigma, A testament to, Indelible, Meticulous, Meticulously, Navigating, Complexities, Realm, Tailored, Underpins, Everchanging, Ever-evolving, Not only, Embark, Designed to enhance, It is advisable, Daunting,  In the realm of, Unlock the secrets, Unveil the secrets, Diving, Unleash, Harness, Tapestry, Take a dive into, Leverage, Metropolis, Unless, Arguably, To put it simply, Promptly, In today's digital era. Avoid analogies and ambiguity in wording. Avoid using gerunds, mdash, and other ways of extending sentences; instead split a sentence and consider removing the unnecessary second part. Avoid words that non-native speakers may not understand. Avoid jargon, but do keep all my terms – do not substitute technical terms with analogies. Avoid comparative adjectives and remove adjectives that do not shape the meaning. 

2) Previously I also used this prompt for working with LaTeX codes, but now I simply use texGPT in overleaf for quick drafting.
Start every sentence on a new line. Add line breaks after every 60 characters to make the text easier to read, but do not add these breaks within commented text. Preserve all original comments exactly as written, and do not delete anything unless explicitly instructed.

3) When working within a project, I define instructions like this:

Prohibited words and phrases: You must not use these words and phrases: Vibrant, Bustling, Vital, Out of the box, Underscores, Dive into, Reverberate, Delve, Hustle and bustle, Foster, Labyrinthine, Moist, Remnant, Nestled, Game changer, Symphony, Gossamer, Enigma, A testament to, Indelible, Meticulous, Meticulously, Navigating, Complexities, Realm, Tailored, Underpins, Everchanging, Ever-evolving, Not only, Embark, Designed to enhance, It is advisable, Daunting,  In the realm of, Unlock the secrets, Unveil the secrets, Diving, Unleash, Harness, Tapestry, Take a dive into, Leverage, Metropolis, Unless, Arguably, To put it simply, Promptly, In today's digital era. Avoid analogies and ambiguity in wording. Avoid using gerunds, mdash, and other ways of extending sentences; instead split a sentence and consider removing the unnecessary second part. Avoid words that non-native speakers may not understand. Avoid jargon, but do keep all my terms – do not substitute technical terms with analogies. Avoid comparative adjectives and remove adjectives that do not shape the meaning. 
You must avoid using "potential" in the sense of showing the capacity to develop into something in the future, because "electric potential" is a physical quantity. you must avoid "framework" in the sense of a basic structure underlying a computations, because "organic framework" is a term in material science.  You must avoid using "capacity" and "capacitance" in sense of ability to do something, because similar terms are used in electrochemistry. You must avoid using "generation" in sense of production.

My first presentation generated with AI

I am working on a presentation and use AI for the first time to draft some texts.

There are already existing solutions. Like plug-ins for google slides and copilot that works with powerpoint. I am using chatGPT and work in google slides.

Here is how I add some slides through app scripts:

function addSlide() {
    const presentationName = "ScientificActivities";
    const presentations = DriveApp.getFilesByName(presentationName);
    if (!presentations.hasNext()) return;

    const presentation = SlidesApp.openById(presentations.next().getId());
    const layouts = presentation.getMasters()[0].getLayouts();
    const targetLayout = layouts.find(layout => layout.getLayoutName() === "OBJECT");
    if (!targetLayout) return;

    const titleText = "Bridging Modelling and Scalable Chemical Processes"; // Edit title here
    const bodyText = "Assoc. Prof. Vladislav Ivaništšev"; // Edit body content here

    const newSlide = presentation.appendSlide(targetLayout);
    newSlide.getPlaceholder(SlidesApp.PlaceholderType.TITLE).asShape().getText().setText(titleText);
    newSlide.getPlaceholder(SlidesApp.PlaceholderType.BODY).asShape().getText().setText(bodyText);
}

Title and body can be generated by … within a long conversation with my personal research assistants. I enjoy the process because these skills will save me a lot of time in the future, although right now it took me some hours to get this simple code working. I have also used AI to find and download a dozen on logos of universities that I have visited (shown below). And it saved me time to get facts from my CV right into the slides.
