Below are the prompts used on ChatGPT to aid me in crafting and refining "Cancer-Fighting Secrets and Other Health Benefits of Seven Fruits (according to Dr. William Li)," available on my partner blog, @soulful-ease (I do cut the text down in spots where instruction details are not lost, to shorten the overall length of the post).
Prompt #1
Please distill the following transcript (be warned, it has typos) down to the specific fruits that are mentioned to have healthful benefits, what those healthful benefits are, and their "mechanism[s]" (why it is believed that they have the stated health benefits).
Use a bulleted or numbered list to provide these details. This content should be clear and concise to later serve as a reference point within a blog post, which I will cover in a later prompt:
