In a world powered by AI, answers are cheap and abundant, but the ability to ask the right question is invaluable.

[Aaron Langenauer @ALangenauer]

AI reinforces established patterns reflected in its training data.

Humans challenge established patterns based on unique intuition.

This difference is at the core of understanding AI’s strengths and limitations, and developing AI Fluency.

There are no “right” or “wrong” answers from AI.

There are only “useful” and “useless” responses.

The job of the human user is to maximize the chances of useful AI responses, by:

1. Knowing what you want
2. Articulating what you want (prompting)
3. Iterating until satisfied

[Aaron Langenauer @ALangenauer]

4. 🤝 Prompting needs to be thought of not as single prompts, but as an iterative process going back and forth between Human and AI. In this setting, what you instruct and at what point in the process is more important than how you instruct.

[Aaron Langenauer @ALangenauer]

Quick insights on the prompt engineering debate:

1. ✅ Yes, prompting matters. Run similar prompts with key word differences, or include/remove phrases like chain-of-thought “explain your reasoning,” and you can see the difference.

[Aaron Langenauer @ALangenauer]

3. 👀 Human vision reigns supreme. If you don’t know what you want, you won’t be able to effectively prompt the AI.

🎺(Interstingly, this is a lot like what I do as a band conductor.)

Got a generic response from AI when you needed something creative?

(But you thought it was a good response because it cited sources?)

Turns out, your AI might be TOO smart. Here's the counterintuitive fix... 🧵

You need:

🌐 Online AI for:
• Current research
• Citations
• Facts

✨ Offline AI for:
• Original lessons
• Creative solutions
• Custom strategies

When you need innovation over information, tell your AI to know less.

It's counterintuitive, but it works every time.
