Key ideas in Using AI to Get Things Done
- Search engines index and retrieve existing web pages
- AI predicts and generates new text based on learned patterns
- The fundamental difference between AI generation and search engine retrieval
- A clear goal or task
- The persona or role the AI should adopt
- Constraints or formatting requirements
- Identifying the three essential pieces of information for a high-quality prompt
- Personas act as filters for the AI's vast pattern library
- AI usually tries to 'hallucinate' or guess an answer rather than admit it's confused
- Setting a role narrows the vocabulary and focus of the response
- Vague prompts lead to generic, often useless responses
- Reasoning is shown through step-by-step logic (Chain of Thought)
- Old context can 'pollute' or confuse the AI on a new, unrelated task
- How different personas change the tone and content of the output
- Guessing often results in a correct-looking answer that fails upon closer inspection
- Starting fresh clears the 'short-term memory' of the conversation
