You are not a great specifier anymore

A lot of us start an AI request the way we'd build a slide deck: slide one says this, slide two says that.

On today's show I put it this way: "you're not a great specifier at this point." Tell AI what you want and let it decide how. Ask for "something really visually engaging that is out of this world." Prompts like that "give AI an ability to really wow you."

It matters most in a domain you've never worked in, where "you don't know what quality looks like." Skip the hunt for a prompt library. "You're not gonna be able to, like, help AI get its job done, other than saying what you want."
