Observes Horsey: “For example, if the prompts you are using to direct the model’s (ChatGPT’s) behavior are not eliciting the desired responses or are becoming too cumbersome, fine-tuning offers a more tailored approach.”

“While prompts can guide the model in a general direction, they may not ensure uniformity across multiple interactions.”
Horsey’s guide also comes with a companion YouTube video to help further clarify the customization process.
