Some of these may be hard to accept (or you may not accept them), but I’ve found that the faster I’ve accepted them, the faster I’ve been able to level up my skills with these tools.
- If you aren’t getting the output that you want, you haven’t put in a good-enough prompt yet
- It’s almost never the model; it’s usually you
- Talking to AI chatbots like they are a human only works for beginners. After that, you have to talk to them like a chatbot (and yes, you’ll have to learn how)
- You have to use them to get better at using them
- They don’t know how you think. We are just a lot more predictable than we think we are, and they have converted our languages into math
- They might be able to do your job
- If they are, then you can use them to learn how to do a new job…
- They are going to wipe out jobs. They already have. They are also going to create new jobs
- Not using them will not make them go away
- Your prompts are not long enough
- The tasks that you are giving them are WAY too simple
- Think less “write this email for me” and more “what would I be able to do if I had 100 people to assign work to”
