True to the name, these are some quick tips to think about when using AI chatbots to help you get better output:
- Use more examples in your prompts
- Both what to do and what not to do
- Don’t expect the AI tools to do more than 85% of the work
- Try different tools to see which one works for you
- Avoid Waluigi
- Enjoy when the output is laughable
- Use it as a learning opportunity
- And entertainment - you can actually laugh at it
- Use the 10-80-10 principle
- 10% prompting
- 80% AI tool
- 10% Review/Edit output
- Think like a manager that is delegating to a literal-minded, hyper-productive employee
- Make the implicit, explicit
- Don’t let AI think for you!
- Don’t let AI make decisions!
- Prompt structure, length, and complexity are directly related to the expected quality level and accuracy of the output
- Higher quality output will require a more structured, longer, and/or more complex prompt
