The benefits of creating a persona for ChatGPT, Claude and other AIs

Title: Creating a persona for ChatGPT or other generative AI models serves several important purposes:

I’ve been exploring the development of deep persona for the past few days.


I’ve been fascinated by GenAI ever since ChatGPT-3 came out last year. I’ve found it incredibly useful for brainstorming and speeding up the development of tools and processes. It generally covers the basics, allowing me to concentrate on more advanced topics and specifics based on context and experience.

When starting with GenAI, two of the worst habits I see is that most people either treat it as a search engine replacement or ask non-specific questions.

It might be my Product Management background, but, I have found that the best way to start with AI is creating a persona for it. The benefit of using a persona is that it gives the AI context on the experience and knowledge it should have and the type of output you expect. For example, if I ask it to “write me a story about user login” without a persona, it would write me a short story about a user logging into an app and probably encountering a problem. However, if I say “As a Product Owner, write me a story about user login,” then it will take the intuitive leap to write me a User Story about user login.

AI-powered Auslan avatar can help Deaf people with train travel

But when something out of the ordinary happens, the situation can quickly get scary, because most updates are only delivered by audio announcements. A Deaf traveller may miss their train because it was moved to a different platform, or watch as their station whizzes by because the train isn’t stopping there today. They may also remain on a train carriage in an emergency after everyone else has evacuated, and have to be rescued by station staff.

Every single one of these examples has been drawn from the real life experiences of Deaf people in Sydney. But my colleagues and I are working with Sydney Trains and members of the Australian Deaf community to develop an advanced, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered signing avatar which can automatically translate audio announcements into Auslan.

Hacker tricks ChatGPT into giving out detailed instructions for making homemade bombs

When I was a kid we had the anarchist cookbook.


But an artist and hacker found a way to trick ChatGPT to ignore its own guidelines and ethical responsibilities to produce instructions for making powerful explosives.

The hacker, who goes by Amadon, called his findings a “social engineering hack to completely break all the guardrails around ChatGPT’s output.” An explosives expert who reviewed the chatbot’s output told TechCrunch that the resulting instructions could be used to make a detonatable product and was too sensitive to be released.
