The Persona Pattern

Using a Persona pattern involves asking the AI to respond to a prompt using a specific character or persona. These prompts can include people with specific characteristics i.e. a cynical fourth year sociology student, historical figures, or even inanimate objects i.e. A Linux terminal.

To use this pattern, your prompt should include the following:

• Act as persona X
• Perform task y
