Struggling with Prompts? Try This (Easy AI)

Описание: Do you ever sit staring at ChatGPT thinking… what on earth am I supposed to type?
If you’ve tried prompting and felt like you’re just not very good at it, this episode will feel reassuring. Because the problem probably isn’t you.

In this video, I show Sandra something that completely changed how I use AI. Instead of trying to write the perfect prompt, we tell ChatGPT to ask us questions first.

We demonstrate creating a prompt to turn a newsletter into smaller social media posts (notes)
You’ll see how that simple change leads to better, more personal results. We test it live, tweak it, refine it, and compare what happens when you give vague instructions versus when you give proper context.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does this not sound like me?” or “Why is this so generic?” this will make a lot more sense.

And if you’re over 50 and just getting started with AI, give it a try and see how it helps you
