Q & A

Why is it important to use AI in daily life as a student or professional?

If you don't incorporate AI into your daily routine, there's a risk of falling behind. It’s not meant to scare you, but it’s crucial for staying relevant in today’s world, whether you’re a student or a professional.

What is the biggest mistake people make when using AI?

The biggest mistake is lazy prepping. If you provide AI with vague or general prompts, you’ll receive results that are also generalized and not tailored to your needs.

How can you improve the output from AI in tasks like creating a gym plan?

By providing more context and specific details, such as your age, goals, workout routine, and dietary preferences, you can get more personalized and accurate AI responses.

What should you include when prepping a task for AI?

Start with the context (who you are, your situation), followed by the task itself (what you want AI to do), and then provide examples or additional details to further guide the output.

How can you fine-tune AI responses further?

You can continue to refine the prompt by adding more specific information, such as exercise preferences or study habits, to ensure the AI produces more accurate and detailed responses.

How much detail should you give when prompting AI?

You should provide enough detail to be relevant to the task but avoid giving irrelevant personal information. Too much unnecessary context may confuse the AI or make the response less relevant.

What is the first AI hack to improve the results of prompts?

At the end of your prompt, add a phrase like 'Ask me further questions to get me a personalized detailed output.' This will encourage AI to ask for more details, helping refine the response.

How should you communicate with AI to get the best results?

Treat AI like you would a friend when asking for advice. The more detailed and specific your requests are, the better the results. Avoid overly brief or ambiguous prompts.

What are some common challenges when working with AI?

One major challenge is laziness, as it can take effort to create detailed prompts. Additionally, AI responses can sometimes lack the nuance or specificity needed, requiring you to refine them.

How can you use voice input to make working with AI easier?

You can use voice mode in AI tools to convert spoken language into written text. This makes it easier to create detailed prompts without typing, especially in multiple languages.

What is the importance of tone in AI-generated content?

The tone of AI-generated content can be tailored to suit your needs, whether casual, professional, or conversational. This is particularly useful for tasks like writing scripts or emails.

How can AI help you in different professional tasks outside of general content creation?

AI can assist in a wide range of professional tasks like planning a trip, naming a business, or generating creative gift ideas. By adapting your prompts, you can expand its use beyond basic tasks like email writing and summarizing notes.

What is the main concern with using AI extensively?

One of the main concerns is the elusiveness of AI. It may provide vague or inaccurate answers instead of saying 'I don't know'. It’s essential to fact-check the AI’s responses to ensure accuracy.

How can bias in AI responses be addressed?

To avoid bias, you can explicitly ask AI to provide a neutral perspective and include all pros and cons of a situation. This can help mitigate any biased output from the AI model.

What role do external AI tools play in enhancing productivity?

Different AI tools can be used for specialized tasks. For example, Perplexity for the latest news, Analyze Cloud for large files, Notion AI for writing assistance, and Gemini for real-time question answering during live streams.

What should you be aware of regarding AI's cut-off dates?

AI has a cut-off date for its knowledge base, meaning it can only provide information up to a certain point. For example, ChatGPT’s knowledge is limited to information available up to June 2024.
