You want to use the below prompt but need to tailor it toward your own needs. 

• First select the LLM (e.g., Copilot or Gemini).

• Paste the text into the context window of the LLM and replace the content about cybersecurity with your needs. An example could be: You are an undergraduate senior majoring in English about to attend a lecture on creative writing.
