Great AI prompts Supporters of AI say that they are very excited to do their day to day communication through AI. I am not saying that this can be wrong. They are uninteresting and do not have much value that it is difficult to justify writing them manually. We all have gone through a time when we had to write boring emails and wasted our time. The time we wasted could have been used for some other good works and AI also help to learning.
Here’s the twist: if you want your work to be the best through AI, then you yourself will have to remain sharp and active. These tools are as powerful as the input you can give them.
I think you will get the best results if you write some part of your language composition without the help of AI. I am not saying this because I have any scientific concern about saving the human soul (it can do that if needed), but because it is a practical way to get the best output from AI. Just like drivers train physically to handle their finely tuned machines, practicing language skills without the need for AI improves your ability to use AI smartly.
In this article, I will give you 3 tasks, out of which 2 are warm-ups and 1 high-intensity workout—— which will develop your self expression and improve your ability to outsmart AI.
On the Write Track
To begin with, we will use less of AI. Sometimes our thoughts go up and down like unstable waves. This rhythm sometimes takes us into deeper thinking.
Focused, linear thinking balances with the automatic structure of the brain. When you focus all your attention on a single thought, then different ideas related to it come to you to take it forward. There are countless threads, out of these countless threads, you can use any one that is close to you.
Basically this is documentation of a cognitive exercise —- like you are following your thoughts step by step while doing photos or anything else. It means you follow your thoughts just like there is a sequential reason behind good writing, in the same way AI organizes the instructions given to it. AI hype-chasers proclaim this as “prompt engineering”, but this is good clear thinking of old times. A small time for ideas is a wise deal
When you complete these steps, then talk to people on a topic which you do not understand but others understand. I mean talking to an expert and trying to learn something new, like language is a puzzle.
You are exploring something new. Where without knowledge you do not even know what to do in the next step.
But this is the same conversation: you get a chance to try again and again. If you reach a deadlock once, then change your method. If you try something and get a small clue, you’ll be closer to the full answer. Practice making perfect distinctive questions and you’ll soon learn to ask specific and different questions that unlock unrevealed knowledge. Stating questions can be a little tricky, but when you get close to them, you’ll open up clues you never thought of before
Gaming system shortly
Now that you’re comfortable with this skill, you’re ready for an RPG (Role-Playing-Game) game. This is a verbal game in which there is a game master who creates and manages an imaginary world.
A tabletop RPG is a verbal game in which a “game master” creates an imaginary world, in which the game master describes the environment, and players tell what they want to do, such as interacting with that world with their characters, and the game master decides the outcome of their actions and stats.
Role-Playing as a Skill-Building Tool
The most classic example of a tabletop RPG is Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). But it is often compared to a board game. That’s a wrong comparison. Tabletop games rely on character sheets and conversation, whereas board games have cards and pieces.
Tabletop games have only a framework, in which the outcome of a player’s actions is decided; players can do anything. Whereas board games have rules that are fixed. Modern RPGs focus on stats and dice rolls, while old-school RPGs focus on creativity and resource use. In old-school games, you have to describe your character’s detailed actions, and if the explanation is strong, dice aren’t even needed. The best RPG players are those who question the scene, explore it, avoid assumptions, and plan detailed step-by-step solutions.
Applying RPG Thinking to AI Prompts
You can modify your RPG problem-solving technique slightly and use a large language model (LLM) to create a prompt.
In both activities, the surest way to succeed is to think deeply about your goal, understand it, decide the relevant rules (what do you think “role prompting” means?), note all the steps, give examples, and define your planned response to emergency situations.
Tech pioneers like Steve Wozniak and Peter Norvig were D&D fans, most of their work predated the advent of AI. Yet the mystery of their achievements shows that their achievements are skills learned from D&D. And AI helps to improve their skills promptly.
Keep this in mind that if this is new for you then follow the exercises in easy to hard order. This builds your mental ability.
Even in the generation of AI, sharpening your skills is the most powerful way to get work done from machines and mostly use
