Thing's you should know about AI
Hey everyone — dropping something I genuinely wish I had when I started. I've been using AI every single day for months. And for most of that time I was still getting inconsistent results. Sometimes great. Sometimes completely useless. Turns out I was missing 6 things nobody actually teaches you. Here they are — with how to use each one right now: ───────────────────────── 1. FEW-SHOT EXAMPLES Instead of describing the style you want, paste 2-3 examples before your request. Try this: "Here are 2 posts I love: [paste] / [paste]. Write a new one about [topic] in this exact style." AI reverse-engineers the pattern. No guessing. ───────────────────────── 2. NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS Tell AI what NOT to include — just as important as what to include. Try this: "Write a LinkedIn post about AI. Never use: game-changer, leverage, paradigm shift, or any opener about 'the pace of change'." Saves you 15 minutes of editing every single time. ───────────────────────── 3. CHAIN YOUR PROMPTS Big task? Don't do it all in one prompt. Break it into steps. Prompt 1 → review → Prompt 2 → review → Prompt 3. Each output stays sharp instead of getting shallow because you asked for too much at once. ───────────────────────── 4. SHOW DON'T TELL — THE VOICE TRICK Want AI to write in YOUR voice? Don't describe it. Paste something you actually wrote and say: "Study how I write here. Now write [new thing] in my exact voice." Works better than any description you could give. ───────────────────────── 5. THE MEMORY HACK AI forgets everything between chats. Every new conversation you're a stranger to it. Fix: save this block and paste it at the start of every important chat: "REMEMBER: I am [name], a [role] who [what you do]. My audience is [who]. My tone is [how you communicate]. My current goal is [project]." 10 seconds. Completely changes the quality of the session. ───────────────────────── 6. ITERATE SMART When output isn't right — don't rewrite the whole prompt.
