In order to prevent AI from hallucinating, you must narrow its seemingly infinite possibilities into something you can control. We are orchestrating the work so that AI can do it for us.

Our responsibility has shifted. It is less about pushing pixels or writing every line of code manually. It is more about structuring the problem, setting boundaries, defining expectations, and giving AI a clear playing field. So that AI can dance inside the garden we design.

Mastering AI prompt engineering may be the highest leverage skill available since the advent of the internet.

Great read.

Signed up for the waitlist for Eden. Looking forward to see what you and your cofounders have been cooking.

AI will skip and contradict itself if you write a page-long or two pages of prompts. You have to limit the prompts and instruct it to wait for follow-up prompts. Think of it like an outline. You have to go line-by-line, prompt-by-prompt to get to the conclusion and ultimately the output you seek from AI.

You must have system and project instructions to govern the ‘action’, ‘narrative’ and ‘output’.

So, in a sense, chain prompt. I wrote about how to structure it all with an example in my most recent newsletter.

Slop creates slop. If you can only make slop, AI can only give you slop.

No way Dan gave that prompt for free after I paid for it in "Productize Yourself" 😂

I think Eden's gonna be cool and all but I still use Kortex and I really don't want to leave it, Dan. 😅

I'm literally writing my next letter on Kortex right now.

Why am I unable to read or view anything in this? Is there any issue?

Knowing how to use AI is crucial nowadays. Whether you want to accept it or not.

But there are boundaries that you must impose while using it in order to maintain your control and humanity over your work.

I wrote something about it, in fact. I’ll drop it here from some curious minds.

A big salute to you for providing the hot item currently well marketed .

Your approach to the work is highly impressive . Never wasted a letter or a word while suggesting in an Alphabetical manner each and every segment of the given topic as if you stand as an instructor or a guide and how AI has to be studied or judged .

Whether it is introducing the subject or branching it into various segments such as human body parts and their functions the AI is clearly suggested in formative and simple language .

Your orientation of the subject is much revealed during the introduction of prompt or context and how it can be revealed .

To boost up the reader and his interest you have made suggestive efforts to critically evaluate script , ideas and video descriptions that are fully based on prompts .

You have not left anything that is basic and essential as inputs for AI . Further this article serves as a guide for those who are enthusiasts to seek inspiration as well motivation and utilise their resources to gain basics of AI .

Well you said we could get in on Eden today. Sadly that was a lie.

Love this. There are so many unbelievable applications of AI, and all of them are useful that mentioned here!

A good prompt matters a ton in any domain of knowledge that you’re in!

AI is a beautiful creation of technology. If used wisely, it can do wonders by accelerating human creativity.

No it did not change my view. You have forgotten the human. Yes people do not structure their queries to AI, and doing so will improve the assistance they might require. Especially in searching for information. Until general AI is achieved (which requires integration across AI for different sensory domains), the human is at the center of the task. You do not understand the human.

he copied transcript of expert advice and made his unique prompt and got answers. Befor that, no human, no authority, no tone, no best writing with gpt. 100% robot and half dangerous knowledge answers.

He thought the answer by AI's have problems with same shitty answers which are used by 1000's of people.
