I sort of like the OpenAI GPT integration with Wolfram Desktop, but this article is 7 months old. Wolfram just dropped version 14, it would be nice to see this article updated.

IMO for the spirit of openness and contribution, the 'source' for each of the prompts should be more prominent and accessible. Currently it's a small link at the bottom of each page which is an '.nb' file, which downloads to your device, and you have to find a viewer for .nb files (I couldn't find anything in the VSCode marketplace)

That said I like the idea of a repository of shared prompts, too often are prompts squirrelled away, having an accessible set would be helpful to many people. Are there other similar prompt repositories?

Looking through these I see most of them are made for GPT35/4. Other LLMs do exist, which have their own strengths and have somewhat different formats and structures. Hopefully when they say LLM they aren't assuming GPT only.

I agree, I spent far too long figuring out where the actual prompts are and assumed they were just gatekeeping like you see in the art generation scenes until I saw the nb link. Safe/sane LLM usage 101 means knowing what you are sending to the model, I personally would never summon some unknown 3rd party prompt.

For example, the gangster one has a specific instruction not to condone violence, while this is good for safety, it would be confusing if you didn't know the actual prompt when the gangster starts lecturing you and one may assume it is an OpenAI phenomenon and not built into the summoned prompt.

.nb files are Mathematica notebooks.

Can I open them with general software?

I found the “wolfram player” on the apple app store and it allowed me to import the .nb files and i could see the prompts. Only annoying thing is I cannot copy and paste - unless I pay for the premium version!

Hmmm not sure I really get why Wolfram would be the right organisation to build this…

I did enjoy the yoda examples however, so the time reading has not been lost .

Impressive. Taking a numbers game literally . Computations walked in the AI door

That's really cool how much control you can have over the output of the LLM. It would make writing really precise prompts much easier.
