Hi guys,
Write me commercial copy for a product named foo. It’s a something and has the following characteristics:
In this case it should mention the items, but in practice it more often than not omits them. Is there any way to achieve this?
You should check out the ad from product description example. Note that it’s using the instruct series which is better at following instructions compared to the base series.
To avoid it making up stuff, you can experiment with lower values of temperature.
Thanks for your response.
I tried fiddling with the instruct series, but it’s hard to strike a proper balance in temperature. Too low, and it’ll repeat my instructions back to me in verbatim and/or just jumbles around some terms without it being very creative. Too high, and it’ll start hallucinating and adding to my “facts”, like when I say you can see sharks in the Red Sea, it’ll say whales migrate from Alaska to Saudi Arabia to give birth along the coast. And it isn’t very consistent, either. Sometimes it’ll spit out some relatively decent copy, and the next go it’ll just give me random contact details jibberish. It doesn’t help the product in question is pretty niche, so I’m guessing the model doesn’t have truckloads of data to work with as compared to something like “white sneakers for men”, or whatever.
I came across logit bias, would that be something I could utilize creatively perhaps?
Here’s what I came up with…
Below are several examples of commercial ad copy being written after looking at a set of facts. The Ad Copy should be 100 to 200 words in length like the first example.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes!
-Prompt Doctor Paul
Yeah, the above was just playing around in the Playground which isn’t able to be scripted, etc. To get one at a time, I would add <|endoftext|> at the end then use that as a stop-word. You would build a prompt like the above using user input - product name, the facts… I would have a database table with several examples that can be pulled to prepend to the prompt. Maybe add categories for different markets…

et alAd Copy: The (PRODUCT NAME)
I frequently use GPT-3 to create samples that I then store to pull when necessary to stitch together a particular prompt.
Yeah, as mentioned, you’d definitely want to improve the ad copy. This is more of a template of how I would approach this problem.
Very good point. It’s still fun to try, though! 
“do the real world, successful, enterprises actually use NLP to help in product descriptions or brand identities”
Can confirm they do. If nothing else, it provides a great starting point for their creative teams.
