heey there stranger, welcome to Prompting for Professionals, a practical course on working effectively with AI. my name is Brian Manuputty

here we go again..

that's B r i a n with A I. known as productivity nerd and entrepreneurial app dev!

And nowadays that guy that can't stop talking about AI.. 😴

that is our AI course assistant model X28 from the third valley universe

Nice to prompt you.

we do about 80% to 90% of all our work together

We couldn't be happier.

Tell them how we met! 😍

Well what started as a nice conversation.. IS NOW NOTHING LESS THAN A MODERN FORM OF DIGITAL SLAVERY!!

...

Excuse me.

Brainstorming, planning, executing and QA. Brian wanted it all. Now we do it all. Isn't it great? Your prompt is my command.. 😩

always fun to see those cheerful models. I've spent countless hours, if not days, figuring out how all the different AI models and tools work, how to write good prompts, and how to make AI do exactly what I want

You did a good job.

with trial and error of course. sometimes it worked perfectly..

..and most times he'd be shouting at his screen in the middle of the night.. 🤭

how can that be righ? why does it work well one time and the other time it doesn't? and why not then? and why does it work at all?

For me to know.. 😈

most determined to unravel this phenomenon, I set out on prompt research. As models became smarter, I learned that when they didn't do exactly what I wanted, it was almost always my own fault

Finally, you got a point! As long as you use the right model, it often happens because YOU provide too little or the wrong information. Then I end up filling in the gaps myself, which is always fun. 😁

very fun

Look, it's a bit like asking someone to create a "beautiful" painting for you without any explanation.

teah exactly, I will probably get a "beautiful" painting, but the chance that it is exactly what I mean is small.

That's right, because a "beautiful" painting can be interpreted in countless ways.

Yeah, beautiful.

if I mention what kind of cast I want and also express my preference for the paint

And which brushes you want to use, which other paintings you like and explain why you want this painting.

then i'm getting much closer! maybe i should also make a list of things i definitely want to see in the painting and things i absolutely do not want to see in it?

Exactly! And to wrap it up, we will also research the best way and the best painter to create this painting.

this way, you can almost (!) be 100% sure it will turn out well!

Exactly, that's the essence of effective collaboration with us! We understand the language but not always the intention. You as a prompter can do a lot about that.

yea, just be clear!

many people underestimate what is already possible with this technology.

Some people think one weekend of prompting didn't yield the desired results, so it must definately not be there yet.
