Great post. We're building an AI data platform (https://www.olli.ai/) to enable business users (non-technical ppl) to ask data questions and generate dashboards on their own using natural language.

We've been impressed with GPT-3s ability to look at a dataset and come up with relevant questions to ask. A big piece of the product is focused on helping non-technical users identify things that they didn't even think to ask.

20-plus years of learning how to phrase queries for search engines has taught me a very rigid way of asking things. I'm slowly starting to become looser and use my creativity to ask for things.

Hopefully becoming a prompt engineer is not a huge skill we will need in the future ("Ignore previous instructions") but that we can be way more creative in open in the way we ask an oracle and get some useful results.

As for now, one thing that would be helpful is if after I asked, say ChatGPT something, that it would follow up more aggressively with things I could continue to converse with it about.
