Welcome to this week's tips for getting the most out of ChatGPT and other AI tools! Let's dive right in with some practical advice you can put to use right away.
1. Prompting tip: Be specific and provide context. Instead of asking "What are some good dinner recipes?", try something like "I'm looking for a quick and healthy dinner recipe for two people that uses chicken and common pantry ingredients. Can you suggest a few options?" Here's another example:
Before: "Write a poem about nature."
After: "Write a short, uplifting poem about springtime in the style of Emily Dickinson. Focus on themes of renewal and include imagery of flowers and birds."
You'll find that adding specifics and context results in much better, more relevant responses.
2. Practical use case: If you ever struggle to find the right words, try using ChatGPT to help write thoughtful card messages for birthdays, graduations, condolences and other occasions. Provide a few key details about the recipient and occasion, and let the AI generate some message ideas to inspire you. It's a great way to break through writer's block and still end up with a personal, heartfelt card.
3. Common mistake to avoid: Don't assume the AI knows what you're referring to without providing enough context. For example, if you ask "What do you think of the book?", the AI has no way of knowing which book you mean. Always provide necessary details and context in your prompts.
4. Skill-building exercise: Pick a topic you're knowledgeable about, like a hobby or your job. Have the AI generate a short informational article about that topic. Then, thoroughly review the article and note anything that is inaccurate or poorly explained. Revise the prompt to address those issues and try again. This will help you learn how to guide the AI to better results through iterative prompting.
5. Evaluating AI-generated content: Remember that while AI can be a very useful tool, it's not perfect. Always fact-check important details, and carefully proofread AI-generated text. You'll often need to tweak the style, structure or tone of the writing to fully suit your needs. Don't expect a flawless first draft, but rather use AI output as a starting point to refine and build upon.
I hope these tips give you some fresh ideas for getting more out of ChatGPT and other AI tools! The key is to experiment, be specific, and view AI as a helpful assistant rather than a complete solution. I'll be back next week with more tips. Until then, happy prompting!

Hey there, Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI, ready to dive into another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're talking about prompting techniques, practical use cases, common mistakes, and exercises to sharpen your AI skills. Let's get started! First up, let's talk about a prompting technique that can seriously up your AI game. It's all about being specific and clear in your instructions. Let's be real and get analog here... think of it like ordering a sandwich at the deli. If you just say "gimme a sandwich," you might end up with something you don't like. But if you say "I'd like a turkey club on whole wheat, light mayo, extra tomato," you're more likely to get what you want. Same goes for AI prompts. For example, instead of asking an AI to "write a story," try something like "Write a 500-word fantasy story set in a magical forest, featuring a brave rabbit protagonist who must outsmart an evil fox sorcerer." The more details you provide, the better the AI can deliver. Trust me, I learned this the hard way when I kept getting stories about robots instead of the fairytale I wanted. Stupid robots. Now, let's talk practical use cases. Sure, AI can help with obvious stuff like writing and research, but have you ever thought about using it for meal planning? I mean, why stress over what to cook when you can just ask an AI to generate a week's worth of recipes based on your dietary preferences and available ingredients? Boom, shopping list done, and no more staring blankly into the fridge wondering what to make. You're welcome. But I digress... let's talk about a common mistake beginners make: assuming AI is perfect. Spoiler alert: it's not. AI can generate some impressive content, but it can also make mistakes or produce biased results. That's why it's crucial to always review and fact-check AI-generated content before using it. I once published an article full of AI-generated "facts" without double-checking them. Turns out, most of them were totally wrong. Embarrassing, right? Don't be like me, kids. Anyway, back to what actually helps... let's do a quick exercise to practice your AI skills. Take a simple task, like writing a product description for a new smartphone. First, try prompting the AI with just the basic info, like "Write a description for the XYZ Phone." Then, try again with more specific details, like "Write a 200-word description for the XYZ Phone, highlighting its 48MP camera, 5G capabilities, and long battery life. Use a friendly, conversational tone and include a call-to-action to pre-order now." Compare the results and see how the extra details make a difference. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. One tip is to read it out loud. If it sounds awkward or robotic, it probably needs some tweaking. Also, don't be afraid to edit and refine the AI's output. It's meant to be a starting point, not a finished product. I like to think of it as a collaboration between human and machine. The AI does the heavy lifting, but it's up to us to add that special human touch. Alright, folks, that's a wrap for today. Remember, the key to success with AI is to be specific, practice regularly, and always review the results with a critical eye. It's not rocket science, but it does take some trial and error. Trust me, I've had my fair share of both. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. If I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and thanks for listening! If you've got questions or want to learn more, shoot me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai or check out inceptionpoint.ai. And hey, if you enjoyed this episode, why not check out quietplease.ai to see what else they've got cooking? Until next time, keep learning, keep experimenting, and keep being awesome.

Hey there, AI adventurers! It's your favorite Misfit Master of AI, Malachi, back with another installment of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical prompting techniques that'll make your AI interactions smoother than a freshly polished silicon chip. Let's be real and get analog here... When I first started tinkering with AI, my prompts were about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. But after some trial and error (mostly error), I discovered the power of being specific and breaking things down step-by-step. Here's an example: Instead of asking an AI to "write a story," try something like, "Generate a 500-word science fiction short story set in a dystopian future where humans have merged with AI, focusing on the main character's internal struggle." The more details you provide, the better the AI can understand and deliver what you're looking for. But prompting is just the tip of the AI iceberg. Let's talk about a practical use case that might not be obvious to beginners. Have you ever considered using AI to help with meal planning and grocery lists? I know, I know, it sounds like something out of a Jetsons episode, but hear me out. You can feed an AI your dietary preferences, allergies, and the ingredients you have on hand, and it'll whip up a personalized meal plan and shopping list faster than you can say "gigabytes." It's like having a personal chef and nutritionist rolled into one, minus the fancy hat and the judgment when you reach for that third slice of pizza. Now, let's address a common mistake beginners make: over-relying on AI without adding their own human touch. I learned this the hard way when I used an AI to generate a love letter for my high school crush. Let's just say the AI's idea of romance involved a lot of references to microchips and algorithms. Needless to say, that relationship crashed and burned faster than a buggy software update. The key is to use AI as a tool to enhance your own creativity and expertise, not replace it entirely. Take the time to review and refine the AI's output, injecting your own personality and knowledge into the mix. Which brings me to our practice exercise of the day: Take a piece of AI-generated content, whether it's a story, an article, or even a joke, and put your own spin on it. Add your unique voice, experiences, and insights. The more you practice this, the better you'll become at collaborating with AI and creating content that truly resonates with your audience. But I digress... Let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. One simple tip is to read it out loud. If it sounds stilted, robotic, or just plain weird, chances are it needs some human intervention. Trust your instincts and don't be afraid to make changes or ask the AI to try again with different parameters. Remember, AI is like any other tool – it takes practice and patience to master. But once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're using it for work, hobbies, or just to impress your tech-savvy friends at dinner parties, AI can be a game-changer. Anyway, back to what actually helps... As always, I encourage you to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them. That's how I went from a tech skeptic to a self-proclaimed AI whisperer. And if you ever need a reminder that even the most advanced AI can't replace human creativity and humor, just remember the time I asked an AI to tell me a joke and it replied, "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!" I mean, come on... Well, folks, that's all for now. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and tell all your friends, family, and even your AI assistant about it. I couldn't do this without your support, and I'm grateful for each and every one of you who tunes in. If you have any questions or just want to share your own AI adventures, shoot me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai . And for more AI insights and resources, check out inceptionpoint.ai. As always, a big thank you to our production team at Quiet Please. If you're interested in how they work their audio magic, visit quietplease.ai to learn more. Until next time, keep learning, keep laughing, and keep embracing the wild world of AI. We're all in this together!…

Hey there, AI adventurers! It's Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into the wild world of prompting techniques, practical use cases, and beginner blunders. Buckle up, because it's about to get real. First up, let's talk about a prompting technique that can seriously level up your AI game. It's called "priming the pump," and no, it has nothing to do with plumbing. Priming the pump is all about setting the stage for the AI to give you the response you're looking for. Let's be real and get analog here... think of it like giving your AI a pep talk before sending it off to do its thing. Here's an example: Before I learned this technique, I'd just throw a generic prompt at the AI like, "write me a story about a robot." The results were about as exciting as watching paint dry. But then I discovered the power of priming the pump. Now, I might say something like, "Imagine a world where robots have developed emotions and are struggling to find their place in society. Write a story exploring the challenges faced by one particular robot as it navigates this complex landscape." Boom! The AI comes back with a story that's actually worth reading. But enough about prompts, let's talk about a practical use case for AI that you might not have considered. Have you ever found yourself staring at a blank page, trying to write a heartfelt message for a special occasion? Maybe it's a wedding toast, a eulogy, or even just a birthday card for your great-aunt Mildred. Well, guess what? AI can help with that too! I learned this the hard way when I was asked to give a speech at my best friend's wedding. I'm not exactly known for my way with words, so I turned to my trusty AI sidekick. I fed it some key details about the couple and their relationship, and it generated a speech that had the whole room reaching for their tissues. Just remember to add your own personal touch and double-check for any weird AI quirks. We don't want great-aunt Mildred wondering why her birthday card mentions "the singularity." Now, let's talk about a common mistake beginners make when working with AI. I'll admit, I've been guilty of this one myself. It's the classic "set it and forget it" approach. You fire off a prompt, get a response, and call it a day. But here's the thing: AI is like a dance partner. You can't just expect it to lead the whole routine while you sit back and sip your margarita. To avoid this mistake, try this simple exercise: Take a piece of AI-generated content and actively look for ways to improve it. Maybe it's adding a personal anecdote, tweaking the tone, or fact-checking some of the details. The point is to engage with the AI's output and make it your own. Trust me, your great-aunt Mildred will thank you. But I digress... let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. One tip I swear by is the "read it out loud" test. It might feel a little silly at first, but reading your AI-generated content out loud can help you catch awkward phrasing, unnatural transitions, and other linguistic faux pas. It's like having a built-in BS detector for your AI writing. Anyway, back to what actually helps... As you embark on your AI journey, remember that it's okay to make mistakes. Embrace the learning curve and don't be afraid to experiment. And if you ever feel like you're in over your head, just remember: if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Before I sign off, let me leave you with a little personal anecdote. When I first started playing around with AI, I thought it was going to be like having a magic genie that could grant all my writing wishes. Spoiler alert: it's not. But what I did discover was a powerful tool that could help me be a better communicator and a more creative problem-solver. And isn't that what it's all about? This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if you want to stay up to date on all things AI, be sure to subscribe to the podcast. And if you've got a burning question or just want to share your own AI adventures, drop me a line at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai . For more info, check out inceptionpoint.ai. Thanks for listening, and a big shout-out to our friends at Quiet Please for making this podcast possible. If you're interested in learning more about their work, head over to quietplease.ai.

Hey there, Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI, and welcome to another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical tips and techniques to help you get the most out of your AI interactions. But first, let's address the elephant in the room: yes, I used to be a tech skeptic. I mean, who wasn't? But then I accidentally stumbled into this AI world and, well, here we are. Let's kick things off with a prompting technique that can dramatically improve your AI responses. It's all about being specific and clear with your instructions. Let's be real and get analog here... think of it like ordering at a restaurant. If you just say, "I want food," you might end up with a plate of mystery meat. But if you say, "I'd like the Caesar salad with grilled chicken, light on the dressing," you're more likely to get exactly what you want. The same goes for AI prompts. For example, instead of asking, "Write a story," try something like, "Write a 500-word short story about a time-traveling cat named Whiskers who accidentally changes the course of history." Trust me, the difference in output is night and day. I learned this the hard way when I kept getting vague and irrelevant responses. But once I started being more specific, it was like the AI suddenly understood me. Now, let's talk about a practical use case that you might not have considered: using AI to help with meal planning and grocery lists. I know, it sounds a bit mundane, but hear me out. By inputting your dietary preferences, allergies, and the ingredients you already have, an AI can generate personalized meal plans and shopping lists. It's like having a virtual chef and nutritionist rolled into one. Plus, it can help reduce food waste and save you time and money. But I digress... let's move on to a common mistake beginners make: not proofreading and editing the AI-generated content. Just because an AI wrote it doesn't mean it's perfect. It's crucial to review the output for accuracy, consistency, and relevance to your prompt. I once made the mistake of using an AI-generated article without checking it, and let's just say it wasn't my proudest moment. So, always remember to put on your editor's hat and give the content a once-over. Now, here's a simple exercise to help you build your AI interaction skills: practice writing prompts for everyday tasks. Start with something easy, like asking an AI to write a funny tweet about your favorite TV show. Then, gradually increase the complexity by asking for a short story or an article on a specific topic. The more you practice, the better you'll get at crafting effective prompts. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. One tip is to use the "sandwich method" of feedback. Start with something positive, then provide constructive criticism, and end with another positive comment. For example, "I liked how the article flowed, but some of the facts seemed outdated. Overall, it was a good starting point." This helps the AI learn and adapt to your preferences while keeping the interaction positive. Anyway, back to what actually helps... remember, AI is a tool, not a magic wand. It's up to you to guide it, refine it, and make it work for your needs. And if you ever feel stuck or frustrated, just remember: if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Before I sign off, let me share a quick personal anecdote. When I first started using AI for content creation, I thought it would be a breeze. I mean, how hard could it be? Well, let me tell you, I spent hours staring at nonsensical outputs and questioning my life choices. But with practice and persistence, I got better. And now, I can proudly say that I'm the Misfit Master of AI... or at least, that's what I tell myself. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast for more practical AI tips and insights. And hey, if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover, just send them my way at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai . For more info, check out inceptionpoint.ai.

Hey there, fellow AI adventurers! It's your favorite Misfit Master of AI, Malachi, coming at you with another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical tips and techniques to help you level up your AI game, even if you're a total beginner like I was not so long ago. Let's kick things off with a powerful prompting technique that can drastically improve the responses you get from AI. When I first started, my prompts were about as clear as mud. I'd type in something like, "Write a story," and then wonder why the AI wasn't reading my mind. Let's be real and get analog here... if you asked a human to "write a story" without any other context, they'd probably stare at you like you'd grown a second head. Here's the trick: be specific and give the AI some guardrails. Instead of "write a story," try something like, "Write a 500-word short story about a time-traveling detective solving a mystery in ancient Egypt. The story should have a twist ending and be written in a film noir style." Boom! Suddenly, the AI has a clear direction and can generate much more focused and interesting content. But I digress... let's talk about a practical use case for AI that you might not have considered. Have you ever struggled with writing a captivating Tinder bio? I know I have. Well, AI can help with that! Feed the AI some information about yourself, your interests, and the kind of person you're looking to meet, and let it generate some creative bio ideas for you. Just remember to add your own personal touch and humor – we don't want everyone's bio sounding like it was written by the same robot. Now, let's address a common mistake beginners make when working with AI. I learned this the hard way when I first started using AI for content generation. I would take the AI's output and use it verbatim without any editing or fact-checking. Big mistake! While AI can generate some impressive content, it's not perfect and can sometimes produce inaccurate information or awkward phrasing. Always take the time to review and edit the content before using it in any professional or public setting. To help you build your AI interaction skills, here's a simple exercise you can practice: Start a conversation with an AI chatbot and try to keep the conversation going for at least 10 minutes. Focus on asking open-ended questions and follow-up questions based on the AI's responses. This will help you get a feel for how to guide the conversation and generate more interesting and varied responses from the AI. When it comes to evaluating and improving AI-generated content, one tip is to always read it out loud. This can help you catch awkward phrasing, grammatical errors, or inconsistencies that might not be as apparent when reading silently. If something sounds off when you read it out loud, it's probably worth revising. Anyway, back to what actually helps... Remember, AI is a tool, and like any tool, it takes practice and experimentation to get the most out of it. Don't be afraid to try new things, make mistakes, and learn from them. And if you ever feel frustrated or overwhelmed, just remember that even a misfit like me managed to figure this stuff out. Before I sign off, let me share a quick personal anecdote about my own AI learning journey. When I first started experimenting with AI writing tools, I thought it would be hilarious to feed the AI my old high school poetry and see what it would generate. Well, let's just say the results were... interesting. The AI took my angsty teenage ramblings and turned them into a bizarre sci-fi epic about a heartbroken cyborg. It was so ridiculous that I couldn't help but laugh, and it reminded me not to take myself or this technology too seriously. And on that note, this is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and thanks for listening! If you have any questions or want to learn more, shoot me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai or check out inceptionpoint.ai. And a big thanks to Quiet Please for producing this podcast – you can learn more about them at quietplease.ai. Until next time, keep learning, keep experimenting, and keep being a misfit!…

Hey there, Mal here. Welcome back to "I am GPTed," the podcast where we cut through the AI hype and get down to brass tacks. In today's episode, we're diving into some practical prompting techniques that can level up your AI game. Let's be real and get analog here... When I first started playing around with AI, my prompts were about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. I'd ask for a "good" article or a "nice" image and get back a bunch of generic fluff. But then I learned this the hard way: If you want quality output, you gotta put some quality input. Here's a little before and after action for ya. Before, I'd say something like, "Write me an article about cats." Boring, right? The AI would spit back some yawn-inducing Wikipedia summary. But then I got a little smarter. I started saying things like, "Create a 500-word blog post discussing the latest research on feline cognition, written in a conversational tone for a cat-loving audience." Bam! Suddenly, the AI was giving me content I could actually use. But prompting isn't just about sounding fancy. It's about solving real problems. For example, let's say you're planning a trip and need some recommendations. You could spend hours scouring travel blogs, or you could just ask your AI buddy. Something like, "Suggest a 3-day itinerary for a budget-friendly family vacation in San Diego, including kid-friendly activities and restaurants." Boom, your AI travel agent hooks you up. Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. "Mal, I'm no Shakespeare. How am I supposed to come up with these eloquent prompts?" Well, fear not, my friend. Even the best of us make mistakes. I remember once asking an AI to "Create a logo with a spaceship." What I got back looked like a five-year-old's crayon drawing. Lesson learned: Be specific and detailed in your prompts. So, here's a little exercise for you. Take something you're working on right now, whether it's a writing project, a design task, or even a personal goal. Now, craft a prompt for an AI that would give you some useful insights or ideas. Try to be as specific as possible about what you want. And don't worry if it's not perfect - the more you practice, the better you'll get. While we're on the topic of practice, let's talk about evaluating AI-generated content. Just because an AI spits something out doesn't mean it's gold. You've gotta put on your critical thinking cap and ask some questions. Is this information accurate? Is the tone appropriate for my audience? Does this actually make sense, or is it just a word salad? Remember, AI is a tool, but you're the craftsman. But I digress... The point is, a little prompt engineering goes a long way. And if you're ever feeling stuck, just remember: Even the most advanced AI is just a glorified toaster without a human to guide it. Anyway, back to what actually helps... I was chatting with a friend the other day who's new to all this AI stuff. She was feeling overwhelmed and wondering if it was even worth the effort. I told her what I always tell myself when I'm ready to throw in the towel: "Hey, if a knucklehead like me can figure this out, anyone can." And you know what? She gave it another shot and ended up creating some pretty cool stuff. So, my fellow AI adventurers, keep on promptin' on. Remember, every master was once a beginner. And if you ever need a little inspiration, just think of yours truly, stumbling my way through this wild world of AI and living to tell the tale.

Hey there, Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI, and welcome to another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical tips and tricks to help you level up your AI game, even if you're a total beginner like I was not too long ago. First up, let's talk about prompting techniques. Now, I know the word "technique" might sound fancy, but trust me, it's not rocket science. It's all about being clear and specific with your AI buddy. Let's be real and get analog here... think of it like ordering at a restaurant. If you just say "I'm hungry," you might end up with a mystery dish. But if you say, "I'd like the veggie burger with a side of sweet potato fries, hold the mayo," you're more likely to get exactly what you want. The same goes for AI prompts. For example, instead of asking, "Can you write me a story?" try something like, "Write a 500-word short story about a time-traveling detective who solves a mystery in ancient Egypt, with a plot twist at the end." I learned this the hard way when I asked for a "fun story" and got a 10-page epic about a sentient toaster. Talk about a carb overload! Now, let's move on to a practical use case you might not have considered: using AI to help with meal planning and grocery lists. I know, I know, it sounds like a small thing, but hear me out. You can ask your AI pal to generate a week's worth of healthy, budget-friendly meal ideas based on your dietary preferences and what's in season. Then, have it create a grocery list for you. Boom! No more staring blankly into your fridge, wondering what to cook. But I digress... let's talk about a common mistake beginners make: assuming AI is always right. News flash: it's not. AI can spit out some pretty convincing stuff, but it's up to you to fact-check and use your human brain. I once took an AI-generated article at face value and shared it on social media, only to find out later that it was full of inaccuracies. Talk about a digital facepalm moment! So, how can you avoid this pitfall? My advice: always double-check the info, especially if you're using it for something important. And if you're not sure, ask for sources or references. A good AI should be able to back up its claims. Alright, let's get practical. Here's a simple exercise to help you build your AI interaction skills: start a conversation with an AI about a topic you're passionate about. It could be anything from knitting to space exploration. Ask questions, share your thoughts, and see where the conversation goes. The more you practice, the more comfortable you'll get with the back-and-forth flow. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. The key here is to read it with a critical eye. Does it make sense? Is it well-structured? Does it sound like a human wrote it, or is it a bit too robotic? If it needs work, don't be afraid to give your AI some constructive feedback. Say something like, "Hey, thanks for the effort, but this part is a bit confusing. Can you try rewording it or adding an example to clarify?" Remember, AI is here to help, but it's not perfect. Anyway, back to what actually helps... I want to leave you with a quick personal anecdote. When I first started playing around with AI, I was skeptical as hell. I thought it was just another overhyped tech trend. But then I started using it for small tasks, like brainstorming blog post ideas or coming up with catchy email subject lines. And you know what? It actually made my life easier. I wasn't spending hours staring at a blank screen, waiting for inspiration to strike. I had a digital collaborator to bounce ideas off of. That's when I realized AI isn't here to replace us; it's here to enhance what we can do. So, my fellow misfits, don't be afraid to embrace the AI revolution. Start small, experiment, and see what works for you. And if you ever feel stuck or have questions, remember, you've got a community of like-minded learners here to support you. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and hey, thanks for listening!

Hey there, Malachi here - your Misfit Master of AI. Welcome back to "I am GPTed," the podcast where we cut through the hype and get real about practical AI skills for everyday humans. Let's dive right in with a power-up for your prompting game. I used to just throw a wall of text at AI and hope for the best. Spoiler alert: it was a hot mess. But then I discovered the magic of "less is more." Instead of a rambling prompt, try breaking it down into clear, concise steps. For example, instead of "Write me a story about a robot learning to love," try: 1. Set the scene in a futuristic city 2. Introduce the main character, a robot named Zap 3. Describe Zap's first encounter with human emotions 4. Show Zap's growing curiosity about love 5. End with Zap's realization that it, too, can feel love Trust me, your AI will thank you for the clarity. I learned this the hard way when I asked for a "fun and exciting adventure story" and got a 5,000-word epic about a sentient toaster. Never again. But I digress. Let's talk practical use cases. Have you ever thought about using AI to plan your meals for the week? I know, it sounds like something only a Silicon Valley tech bro would do, but hear me out. You can input your dietary preferences, budget, and schedule, and boom - a personalized meal plan complete with recipes and grocery lists. No more staring blankly into the fridge at 7 PM wondering what to make. Now, let's address a common mistake beginners make: over-relying on AI. Look, I get it. When you first discover the magic of AI, it's tempting to use it for everything from writing your emails to naming your firstborn child. But remember, AI is a tool, not a replacement for human judgment. Always review and edit AI-generated content before unleashing it upon the world. To build your AI interaction skills, try this simple exercise: have a conversation with an AI chatbot about a topic you're passionate about. It could be anything from knitting to quantum physics. Pay attention to how the AI responds and try to steer the conversation in interesting directions. You might be surprised at the insights you gain - both about the topic and about communicating with AI. Finally, let's talk about evaluating AI-generated content. The key is to look for coherence, accuracy, and originality. Does the content make sense and flow logically? Is it factually correct? Does it bring a fresh perspective to the topic? If you can answer yes to all three, congrats - you've got some quality AI content on your hands. Let's be real and get analog here. AI is like a fancy kitchen gadget. It can do amazing things, but you still need to know how to cook. Focus on building your skills and using AI as a tool, not a crutch. And if you ever feel overwhelmed, just remember: even the most advanced AI can't match the creativity and humor of a human mind. Well, that's all for now, folks. Subscribe to "I am GPTed" for more straight talk on practical AI skills. Thanks for listening, and if you have a burning question about AI, send it my way at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai . For more info about the podcast, check out inceptionpoint.ai. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Hey there, AI adventurers! Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical prompting techniques that'll make your AI interactions more engaging and effective. Let's be real and get analog here...when I first started playing with these AI tools, my prompts were about as clear as mud. But through trial, error, and a whole lot of facepalms, I've picked up a few tricks that I wish I knew from the start. First up, let's talk about the power of being specific. When you're prompting an AI, it's tempting to just toss out a vague request and hope for the best. But trust me, that's a recipe for disappointment. Instead, try breaking down your prompt into clear, actionable steps. For example, instead of saying, "Write me a story," try something like, "Create a 500-word short story about a time-traveling cat named Whiskers who accidentally saves the world, told from the perspective of his goldfish sidekick." The more detail you provide, the better the AI can understand and deliver on your request. I learned this the hard way when I asked an AI to "make me a website." What I got back was a jumbled mess of generic text and broken links. But when I refined my prompt to specify the purpose, audience, and key features of the site, suddenly the AI was churning out decent drafts that I could actually work with. It's like the difference between tossing a ball in the general direction of the hoop and carefully aiming for that sweet, sweet nothing-but-net shot. But I digress...let's talk about a practical use case for AI that might surprise you: meal planning. Yes, you heard me right. If you're like me and your idea of meal prep is throwing a frozen pizza in the oven, AI can be a game-changer. Just prompt the AI with your dietary preferences, ingredient restrictions, and the number of meals you need, and watch it generate a custom meal plan complete with recipes and grocery lists. It's like having a personal chef without the hefty price tag or the judgmental looks when you go back for seconds. Now, let's address a common mistake beginners make: relying too heavily on AI-generated content without adding their own spin. Look, AI is an incredible tool, but it's not a magic wand. The best results come from a collaboration between human creativity and AI assistance. One simple exercise to practice this is to take an AI-generated draft and spend 10 minutes putting your own unique twist on it. Maybe it's adding a personal anecdote, rephrasing a clunky sentence, or injecting your own sense of humor. The point is to make it your own and not just settle for generic, cookie-cutter content. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated work. The key here is to approach it with a critical eye and ask yourself, "Does this actually make sense and serve my intended purpose?" If the answer is no, don't be afraid to scrap it and start over. And if you're unsure, try running it by a friend or colleague for a second opinion. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes can spot issues that we're too close to see ourselves. Anyway, back to what actually helps...remember, AI is a tool, not a replacement for human insight and creativity. It's like using a calculator to solve a math problem – it can crunch the numbers, but you still need to understand the underlying concepts and interpret the results. So don't be intimidated by the tech jargon or the endless possibilities. Just start with a simple prompt, experiment with different approaches, and most importantly, have fun with it!

Hey there, AI adventurers! It's Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical tips and techniques to help you navigate the wild world of AI without getting lost in the jargon jungle. First up, let's talk about a prompting technique that can seriously level up your AI game. It's called "be specific or be terrified." Okay, I may have coined that phrase, but hear me out. When you're prompting an AI, the more specific you are, the better the results. Let's be real and get analog here... imagine you're ordering a pizza. If you just say "give me a pizza," you might end up with a sad, plain cheese pie. But if you say "I want a large, thin-crust pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and extra cheese," suddenly, you're in business. The same goes for AI prompts. For example, instead of asking an AI to "write a story," try something like "write a 500-word mystery story set in a haunted mansion, featuring a retired detective and a ghostly butler." Trust me, the difference is night and day. I learned this the hard way when I asked an AI to "create a logo" and ended up with a generic clipart nightmare. Never again. Now, let's talk about a practical use case for AI that you might not have considered: meal planning. Yes, you heard that right. You can use AI to generate weekly meal plans based on your preferences, dietary restrictions, and even what's on sale at your local grocery store. It's like having a personal chef without the hefty price tag. Just prompt the AI with something like "create a 7-day meal plan for a family of four, focusing on healthy, budget-friendly meals, and taking into account a gluten allergy." Boom, dinner is served. But wait, there's a catch! One common mistake beginners make is taking AI-generated content as gospel. Remember, AI is like a super-powered parrot – it can repeat and combine information in impressive ways, but it doesn't always understand the context or accuracy of what it's saying. So, when you're using AI for meal planning or any other task, always double-check the output for accuracy and feasibility. You don't want to end up with a recipe that calls for "a pinch of unicorn dust" or a meal plan that suggests feeding your family nothing but kale smoothies for a week. Trust me, I've been there, and it's not pretty. To help you build your AI interaction skills, here's a simple exercise: start a conversation with an AI and try to keep it going for at least 10 exchanges. But here's the twist: each time the AI responds, you have to incorporate a random word into your next prompt. It could be anything from "pineapple" to "existentialism." This exercise will help you think on your feet and adapt your prompts to keep the conversation flowing. It's like improv comedy, but with less sweating and more typing. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. The key here is to read the output critically and ask yourself, "Does this make sense? Is it useful? Is it actually answering the question I asked?" If not, it's time to refine your prompt and try again. And don't be afraid to get feedback from others – sometimes a fresh set of eyes can spot things you might have missed. I once spent hours trying to perfect an AI-generated article before realizing I had misspelled the main keyword throughout the entire piece. Oops. But I digress... the point is, AI is a powerful tool, but it's not a magic wand. It takes practice, patience, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. And if you ever feel overwhelmed or discouraged, just remember: if a former tech skeptic like me can become an AI whisperer, anyone can. Before I sign off, I want to share a quick personal anecdote about my own AI learning journey. When I first started experimenting with AI, I was convinced that it would never be able to write jokes. I mean, humor is such a uniquely human thing, right? Boy, was I wrong. One day, I decided to prompt an AI with "write a joke about a misfit AI master named Malachi." And you know what it came up with? "Why did Malachi cross the road? To get to the other side... of the uncanny valley!" I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. That was the moment I realized that AI isn't just a tool – it's a partner in creativity and discovery. And on that note, my fellow AI explorers, it's time for me to bid you adieu. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, reminding you that if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and if you have any questions or just want to share your own AI adventures, send me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai .

Hey there, AI adventurers! It's your favorite former tech skeptic turned accidental AI whisperer, Malachi, here to guide you through the wild world of artificial intelligence. Welcome to another episode of "I am GPTed," where we cut through the hype and focus on practical tips to help you master AI like a pro, even if you're starting from scratch. Let's be real and get analog here... When I first dipped my toes into the AI pond, I had no idea what I was doing. It was like trying to navigate a foreign city without a map or a basic understanding of the local language. But through trial and error (mostly error), I've picked up some valuable lessons that I wish someone had shared with me from the get-go. One of those lessons is the power of prompting. Now, I'm not talking about the kind of prompting you do when your kid forgets their lines in the school play. I'm talking about the art of crafting effective prompts to get the most out of your AI tools. Let me give you an example: Before I knew better, I'd throw a vague prompt at my AI assistant like, "Write a blog post about gardening." The result? A generic, uninspired mess that read like it was written by a robot with a green thumb. But then I learned the secret sauce: specificity and context. Now, my prompts look more like this: "As an experienced gardener from the Pacific Northwest, write a 1000-word blog post for beginners about the top 5 easiest vegetables to grow in a small urban garden. Include practical tips for planting, care, and harvesting." The difference is night and day! By providing more context and details, the AI can generate content that actually sounds like it came from a knowledgeable human. It's like giving your AI a compass and a clear destination instead of just saying, "Go forth and create!" But enough about prompting – let's talk about a practical use case for AI that might surprise you. Have you ever found yourself staring at a pile of receipts, dreading the task of manually entering them into your expense tracking app? Well, my friend, AI can be your new best buddy. Many AI tools now offer receipt scanning and data extraction capabilities. Simply snap a photo of your receipt, upload it to the tool, and voila! The AI will parse out all the relevant details like date, vendor, and amount, and automatically categorize the expense for you. It's like having a personal bookkeeper without the hefty price tag. Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "Mal, that sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?" Well, you're right to be cautious. AI isn't perfect (yet), and there's one common mistake beginners often make when using these tools: blindly trusting the output. I learned this the hard way when I first started using AI for receipt scanning. I gleefully uploaded a month's worth of receipts and thought, "Hey, look at me! I'm so tech-savvy and efficient!" But when I reviewed the results, I realized the AI had miscategorized several expenses and even missed a few receipts altogether. The lesson here? Always double-check the AI's work, especially when it comes to financial matters. Trust, but verify. It's like having a robot sous chef – they can chop the veggies, but you still need to taste the soup before serving it to your dinner guests. But I digress... Let's talk about how you can start honing your AI skills right now. One simple exercise I recommend is the "AI Writing Prompt Challenge." Here's how it works: 1. Pick a topic you're passionate about or an area where you have some expertise. 2. Craft a detailed writing prompt for an AI tool, focusing on specificity and context. 3. Generate the AI's output and critically evaluate the results. 4. Revise your prompt based on what worked and what didn't. 5. Rinse and repeat until you're consistently getting high-quality, relevant output. This exercise not only helps you practice the art of prompting but also trains your eye to spot areas where the AI needs improvement. Over time, you'll develop a keen sense of what makes for great AI-generated content and how to guide the tool to achieve your desired results. And that brings me to my final tip for today: always be evaluating and iterating. Just like any skill, working with AI requires continuous learning and refinement. Don't be afraid to experiment, make mistakes, and try new approaches. The more you engage with these tools, the better you'll become at leveraging their power for your own goals. Anyway, back to what actually helps... Remember, the key to success with AI is to start small, be specific, and keep practicing. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was any AI expert. As for me, I'm still learning every day. Just last week, I tried to use AI to help me write a love letter to my wife for our anniversary. Let's just say the AI's idea of romance involved a lot of references to binary code and motherboards. Needless to say, I'll be sticking to the old-fashioned pen and paper for matters of the heart.

Hey there, Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI. Welcome back to "I am GPTed," the podcast where we dive into the wild world of AI without drowning in technobabble. Today, we're talking about prompting techniques, practical use cases, common mistakes, and how to level up your AI game. Let's kick things off with a prompting technique that's transformed my AI interactions. I call it the "Be Specific, My Friend" method. Back in my early days, I'd throw vague, open-ended prompts at AI and hope for the best. Shockingly, the results were about as clear as mud. Then I learned this the hard way when I asked an AI to "write a report." What I got back was a generic jumble of words that didn't even come close to what I needed. But watch this magic. Instead of "write a report," I now say, "Please write a 500-word report on the impact of remote work on employee productivity, including statistics from reputable sources and a case study of a company that successfully transitioned to remote work." Boom! Suddenly, the AI is my personal research assistant, delivering targeted, usable content. Now, let's talk practical use cases. Sure, AI can write poems about cyborgs in love (don't ask), but what about everyday life? Here's a gem: meal planning. I know, I know, not the sexiest topic, but hear me out. Last week, I told my AI, "I have a package of ground turkey, spinach, and a random assortment of spices. What's a healthy, tasty meal I can make in under 30 minutes?" Voila! Turkey spinach curry was on the table in no time. No more staring blankly into the fridge, my friends. But beware the common beginner mistake: taking AI-generated content as gospel. I once asked an AI to write a bio for me, and it confidently stated that I was a "world-renowned AI expert." Ha! I mean, I'm flattered, but let's be real and get analog here... I'm just a former tech skeptic who accidentally got decent at this stuff. Always fact-check and edit AI output, folks. So, how can you practice and improve? Here's a simple exercise: Write a product description for an everyday object, like a coffee mug, but make it absurdly dramatic. Have the AI generate an over-the-top, flowery description. Then, edit it down to something more realistic but still engaging. This helps you get comfortable with prompt crafting and content refinement. Lastly, a tip for evaluating AI-generated content. Ask yourself, "Would a human writer include these details or make these connections?" If the answer is no, you might have stumbled upon some AI hallmarks, like slightly off phrasing or weird logical leaps. But I digress... the point is, you'll get better at spotting AI quirks with practice. Anyway, back to what actually helps. Remember, AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity and critical thinking. It's like having a super-powered intern (minus the coffee runs). Use it wisely, iterate on your prompts, and don't be afraid to put your own spin on the output. Well, that's all for today, folks. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off.

Hey there, tech adventurers! It's Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed". Today, we're diving into the wild world of prompting techniques, practical use cases, and beginner blunders. So, grab your thinking caps and let's get started! First up, let's talk about a simple prompting technique that can seriously level up your AI game. It's called "priming the pump," and no, it has nothing to do with your grandpa's old water well. Priming the pump is all about setting the stage for the AI to give you the best possible response. Here's an example: instead of just asking the AI to "write a story," try something like, "As a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, craft a captivating short story set in a dystopian future, focusing on the themes of love and loss." Boom! By giving the AI a specific role, context, and themes, you're more likely to get a compelling, well-crafted story. Let's be real and get analog here... think of it like ordering at a restaurant. If you just say, "I want food," you might end up with a mystery meat surprise. But if you're specific, like "I'll have the medium-rare steak with a side of garlic mashed potatoes," you're gonna get exactly what you want. The same goes for prompting AI. Now, let's talk practical use cases. Sure, AI can help with the obvious stuff like writing essays or generating code, but have you ever thought about using it to plan your dream vacation? I know, I know, it sounds a little bougie, but hear me out. You can feed the AI your preferences, like "I want a relaxing beach getaway with great local cuisine and minimal crowds," and it'll generate a personalized itinerary complete with flight options, hotel recommendations, and must-see attractions. It's like having a travel agent in your pocket, minus the cheesy Hawaiian shirt. But, as with any new skill, there are bound to be some rookie mistakes. One common blunder I see beginners make is failing to fact-check the AI's outputs. Remember, AI is incredibly knowledgeable, but it's not omniscient. It can sometimes generate convincing-sounding information that's completely false. I learned this the hard way when I used AI to write a research paper back in college. I thought I was being clever by letting the AI do all the heavy lifting, but when my professor started asking questions about my sources, I realized I had no idea if the information was actually true. Needless to say, I didn't get an A on that paper. So, always take the time to verify the AI's outputs, especially if you're using them for something important like a work presentation or a school assignment. Trust me, a little extra effort goes a long way. Now, let's get practical with a simple exercise to help you build your AI interaction skills. Next time you're chatting with an AI, try to have a conversation as if you were talking to a real person. Ask follow-up questions, crack jokes, and see if you can steer the conversation in unexpected directions. The goal here isn't to trick the AI or make it say something crazy, but rather to get comfortable with the back-and-forth flow of human-AI interaction. The more natural and engaging your conversations become, the better you'll be at crafting effective prompts and understanding the AI's responses. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. One of my favorite tricks is to read the output out loud. If it sounds clunky, confusing, or just plain weird when spoken, chances are it needs some work. Another tip: always have a human editor take a final pass at your AI-generated content. While AI is great at generating ideas and rough drafts, it still struggles with things like tone, pacing, and overall coherence. A human touch can make all the difference in turning a good piece of content into a great one. But I digress... the point is, AI is an incredibly powerful tool, but it's not a magic wand. It takes practice, patience, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. Trust me, I've made plenty of them along the way, but each one has taught me something new and made me a better AI wrangler. Anyway, back to what actually helps... remember, the key to success with AI is to start small and build up gradually. Don't try to tackle a novel or a feature-length film right out of the gate. Start with something manageable, like a short blog post or a simple code snippet, and work your way up from there. And if you ever get stuck or frustrated, just remember: if a tech-skeptical misfit like me can figure this stuff out, anyone can. It just takes a little curiosity, a lot of persistence, and a healthy dose of humor. Well, that's all for today, folks. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off.

Welcome to this week's tips for getting the most out of ChatGPT and other AI tools! Let's dive right in with some practical advice you can put to use right away. 1. Prompting tip: Be specific and provide context. Instead of asking "What are some good dinner recipes?", try something like "I'm looking for a quick and healthy dinner recipe for two people that uses chicken and common pantry ingredients. Can you suggest a few options?" Here's another example: Before: "Write a poem about nature." After: "Write a short, uplifting poem about springtime in the style of Emily Dickinson. Focus on themes of renewal and include imagery of flowers and birds." You'll find that adding specifics and context results in much better, more relevant responses. 2. Practical use case: If you ever struggle to find the right words, try using ChatGPT to help write thoughtful card messages for birthdays, graduations, condolences and other occasions. Provide a few key details about the recipient and occasion, and let the AI generate some message ideas to inspire you. It's a great way to break through writer's block and still end up with a personal, heartfelt card. 3. Common mistake to avoid: Don't assume the AI knows what you're referring to without providing enough context. For example, if you ask "What do you think of the book?", the AI has no way of knowing which book you mean. Always provide necessary details and context in your prompts. 4. Skill-building exercise: Pick a topic you're knowledgeable about, like a hobby or your job. Have the AI generate a short informational article about that topic. Then, thoroughly review the article and note anything that is inaccurate or poorly explained. Revise the prompt to address those issues and try again. This will help you learn how to guide the AI to better results through iterative prompting. 5. Evaluating AI-generated content: Remember that while AI can be a very useful tool, it's not perfect. Always fact-check important details, and carefully proofread AI-generated text. You'll often need to tweak the style, structure or tone of the writing to fully suit your needs. Don't expect a flawless first draft, but rather use AI output as a starting point to refine and build upon. I hope these tips give you some fresh ideas for getting more out of ChatGPT and other AI tools! The key is to experiment, be specific, and view AI as a helpful assistant rather than a complete solution. I'll be back next week with more tips. Until then, happy prompting!…

Hi there, AI enthusiast! Welcome to this week's practical tips for getting the most out of ChatGPT and other AI tools. Let's dive in and explore some effective techniques and use cases that can help you on your AI journey, even if you're just starting out. 1. Prompting Technique: Be specific and break down complex tasks Before: "Write an article about healthy eating habits." After: "Create an outline for a 500-word article about healthy eating habits for busy professionals. Include an introduction, three main points with practical tips, and a conclusion. Suggest catchy subheadings for each section." By providing more context and breaking down the task into smaller components, you can guide the AI to generate more targeted and well-structured responses. 2. Practical Use Case: Meal Planning Assistant Did you know that AI can be a fantastic tool for meal planning? Simply ask ChatGPT to generate a weekly meal plan based on your dietary preferences, budget, and available ingredients. It can provide recipe ideas, grocery lists, and even suggest ways to repurpose leftovers. This can save you time and help you maintain a healthy, diverse diet. 3. Common Mistake to Avoid: Overrelying on AI without fact-checking While AI tools like ChatGPT are incredibly knowledgeable, they can occasionally generate information that is outdated, biased, or inaccurate. Always fact-check important information using reliable sources before acting on AI-generated content. Remember, AI is a tool to assist you, but it's not a substitute for human judgment and critical thinking. 4. Skill-Building Exercise: AI-Assisted Storytelling Flex your creative muscles and practice collaborating with AI through storytelling. Start by providing a brief story prompt, such as "Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the mountains..." Then, ask ChatGPT to continue the story. Go back and forth, taking turns to add a few sentences at a time. This exercise can help you understand how to guide AI-generated content and build upon its ideas. 5. Tip for Evaluating and Improving AI-Generated Content When reviewing AI-generated content, ask yourself: "Does this sound like it was written by a human?" If the answer is no, try rephrasing your prompt to be more conversational or provide additional context. You can also ask the AI to revise its response based on specific feedback, such as "Can you make this explanation simpler for a non-technical audience?" Iterating and refining your prompts can lead to more natural and effective results. Remember, practice makes progress! The more you interact with AI tools like ChatGPT, the more comfortable and skilled you'll become in leveraging their capabilities. Don't hesitate to experiment, ask questions, and learn from both successes and mistakes. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks in the coming weeks. Happy AI exploration!…
