My View on Prompting and What Really Matters in Learning AI


 

This week’s tip: Moving beyond prompts to integrate AI into your work.



Let me set something straight:


Contrary to what you might have read in the news,

learning to prompt ChatGPT is not an AI strategy for success!


And I say this as a power user of ChatGPT in various aspects of professional life.


Sure, mastering ChatGPT prompts is a necessary skill, but it's only your entry ticket.


The real leap happens when AI becomes an intrinsic part of your workflow,

not just a shiny object you toy with.


Think about it:

Is the purpose of learning a language just to recite the alphabet?

Similarly, prompting is foundational, but it's not the goal.

Your expertise in combination with prompting is the way to go.



What Works for Me

For me, it's all about integrating AI seamlessly into what I do daily.

For instance, I use ChatGPT to not just draft emails but to quicker finish repetitive tasks and draft strategic plans.

I'm not just 'using a tool'; I'm working with an extension of my professional expertise.


Here are some key steps I use:

1. Identify repetitive tasks: Look for tasks you do frequently on daily or weekly basis.

2. Start small: Begin with simple integrations and gradually increase complexity.

3. Experiment: Try different approaches and see what works best for your needs.

4. Refine and iterate: Continuously improve your workflows based on results.

5. Share and learn: Discuss your experiences with colleagues to gain new insights.



Keep in mind

The more you work with AI, the more you understand it.

The more you understand it, the easier it is to apply.

The more you apply it, the easier it gets and so on, you get it.

Start this cycle, and you're on the right track.
