silly noob question about all these apps that frame GPT - is it just a case of passing some extra prompts to the GPT API when setting up?

Something like "Answer the following user question in relation to Judaism: **"

Or is there more involved?

Ask GPT to give you the details on 'Fine-tuning', 'transfer learning', and 'vector embedding', and 'n-shot learning'. (Your promopt is a 0-shot prompt.)

Although, in this case, it looks like they just give ChatGPT an initial prompt telling it to act like a $religion professor.

I just looked at the wikipage for zero-shot learning and it wasn't very clear about why it is "zero". The paper for GPT-3 however is quite clear:

"(c) “zero-shot” learning, where no demonstrations are allowed and only an instruction in natural language is given to the model" [page 5 of pdf]
