The prompting mistake almost everyone makes

The prompting mistake almost everyone makes

Description

How much of your week goes into fixing what AI just handed you? Not writing from scratch, just cleaning up, correcting, and nudging a draft that looked fine for about ten seconds before you actually needed it to work. 

That endless back and forth has a name. We call it slop fixing, and there is research suggesting it is quietly eating close to a full day of our working week. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I get into why this happens and the two very different ways of working with AI that decide whether it does. You will hear the difference between gunslinging and architecting, what a proper brief actually sounds like, and how to have a conversation with AI before you ask it to build anything. By the end, you will be getting version one at 90 percent instead of 20. 

What you'll learn: 

  • What actually separates AI slop from work that lands 
  • The difference between gunslinging and architecting with AI 
  • What a proper brief for AI actually sounds like 
  • How to have a real conversation with AI before asking it to build anything 
  • Why version one can land at 90 percent instead of 20 
  • Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 
  • Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 
  • How to use AI at work without burning out
