Thanks for this thread Mary Green! A topic I love!
AI has become so integrated into my day that I don’t even think of my interactions as “prompts” anymore - just conversations with a strategist, (who also likes to work at weird hours haha)
And over the last few months, I've shifted from using AI to write or do things, and more to stress test or improve initial work.
Go-to format:
“Act as a [persona] doing [task], under these constraints…”
EG - act as a skeptical CMO at an F1000 reviewing this 1 pager. It needs to capture attention fast and...
It’s been especially useful for any content where I have multiple personas, and maybe need to understand how to tailor a message so it resonates across someone technical, non-technical, of a specific persona, etc
Also, I've found I get better responses in just being conversational (eg, are you sure that's right? how else could this be approached?) works well, and I've grown to prefer interacting with voice for that, as its faster and a little more natural - even though it does feel weird!
