Hey there, Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI. Welcome back to another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical tips and tricks to level up your AI game. Trust me, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can.
First up, let's talk about prompting techniques. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Mal, isn't prompting just asking the AI to do something?" Well, yes and no. Let's be real and get analog here... think of prompting like giving directions to a friend. If you're vague or confusing, you'll end up at the wrong destination. The same goes for AI.
Here's a little before and after action for you. Before I knew better, I'd throw out prompts like "Hey AI, write me a story." The results? Let's just say they were about as exciting as watching paint dry. But then I learned this handy trick: be specific and give context. Instead, I might say "Write a suspenseful short story about a haunted old mansion, focusing on creating a creepy atmosphere." Boom! Suddenly, the AI is churning out spine-chilling tales that would make Stephen King proud.
Now, let's talk practical use cases. Sure, AI can help with the obvious stuff like writing emails or generating cat memes. But have you ever thought about using AI to plan your meals for the week? I mean, why stress over grocery lists when you can have an AI chef whip up a personalized menu based on your preferences and dietary restrictions? Just imagine the looks on your friends' faces when you casually mention that your AI sous chef helped you prepare dinner.
But I digress... let's move on to common mistakes. I learned this the hard way when I first started tinkering with AI. I'd get so excited about the possibilities that I'd forget to double-check the output. Rookie move, Mal. Always, and I mean always, proofread and fact-check what the AI generates. Trust me, you don't want to accidentally send your boss a report filled with hilarious but wildly inaccurate information. Not that I've ever done that... moving on!
Now, let's get you practicing. Here's a simple exercise to build your AI interaction skills: start a conversation with an AI and try to steer it towards a specific topic. For example, ask the AI to help you plan a themed birthday party. Give it a few details and see how it responds. Then, keep refining your prompts until you've got a party plan that would make even the most discerning party planner proud.
Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. The key here is to look for coherence, relevance, and originality. Does the output make sense and flow logically? Does it actually address what you asked for? And does it bring something new to the table, or is it just regurgitating information? If you spot issues, don't be afraid to tweak your prompts and try again. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is the perfect AI-generated masterpiece.
Anyway, back to what actually helps... remember, the key to mastering AI is to keep practicing and learning from your mistakes. Trust me, I've made plenty of them. But that's how we grow, right?
Well, that's all for today, folks. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and thanks for listening. If you've got questions or want to learn more, shoot me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai or check out inceptionpoint.ai. And hey, if you're interested in more awesome content like this, head over to quietplease.ai to see what else they've got cooking up. Until next time, keep on prompting!

[Upbeat intro music. Mal’s signature “too-cool-for-the-room” jingle.] You’re tuned in to “I am GPTed,” the podcast that turns AI confusion into smug competence. I’m Mal—the Misfit Master of AI—your guide, your anti-guru, and living proof that you don’t have to be a Silicon Valley cyborg to master ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and all their chatty cousins. My only credentials? I use AI every day and, like you, have managed to confuse it as often as I impress it. Today, we’re pulling back the unnecessarily complicated curtains on one powerhouse prompting technique, an under-the-radar use case you should be using, a mistake I keep making, your new AI workout, and a super-simple tip to judge if your prompt made the grade. Let’s get into it—before the hype train leaves without us. First up, **the technique:** Role prompting. Instead of treating your AI like a magical search box, you actually give it a role—like you’re casting it in your very own community theater production. Don’t just say, “Summarize this article.” No, no, no—give it a little drama: “You are an expert journalist with a knack for finding the crucial details. Summarize this article for a time-crunched manager who hates jargon.” Here’s before-and-after because we love receipts: - Before: “Summarize this news article.” - After: “You are a journalist with a talent for clear, concise reporting. Give me a five-sentence summary of this article focused on the key risks for investors.” Try it across AIs—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, even Grok if you’re feeling dangerous. The difference? Night and day. Your AI stops acting like a bored intern and starts playing the part you want. Now, for that *practical* use case. You know how you waste time writing those awkward “sorry for the delay” emails or just don’t write them at all (hello, my inbox)? Well, AI can draft responses for those email landmines, tailored to your tone, your situation—even your level of guilt. Plug in your “oops, I ignored you” scenario and ask Gemini: “Be my assistant. Write a polite, brief reply that acknowledges my lateness without groveling.” Voilà—done. But let’s talk mistakes. My personal favorite? **Prompting like it’s Google.** I used to ask, “Best tips for remote work?” and wonder why the response was as generic as weak decaf. The fix? More context. Give your ChatGPT or Claude some flavor: “I’m a teacher balancing online classes and wrangling toddlers. Give me three realistic, energy-saving remote work tips.” It’ll finally respond like it actually heard you. Ready for a brain-stretch exercise? For your next three AI prompts, start by naming the AI’s role: “Act as a…” Then set a clear output style or format, like “Bullet points, please.” For extra credit, add a target audience—“Explain it for a busy parent.” You’ll master tone, format, and relevance, all in one go. No badge awarded, but you’ll feel clever. And of course, you need a tip to *check* your AI-generated brilliance. My go-to: Read it aloud like you’re a radio announcer. If you cringe, the content probably needs editing. The AI writes fast; you clean up the mess fast. It’s teamwork—just with less trust issues. That’s it for today’s mix of tips, self-roasting, and serious productivity improvements. If you got even one practical idea, subscribe so you can collect more of my mistakes—so you can avoid making them yourself. Thanks for listening to “I am GPTed.” This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, head to quietplease.ai and pretend you’re learning AI from someone who hasn’t publicly admitted to replying “prompt unclear” to their own prompt. Catch you next time, misfits.

[Intro music fades in] Hello, fellow misfits and slightly concerned AI enthusiasts—welcome to “I am GPTed,” where the only thing more unreliable than AI is my WiFi connection. I’m Mal, the Misfit Master of AI, here to hack through the tech-hype jungle and dig up ACTUAL useful advice for making AI work for you—with only mild sarcasm and the faintest hint of childhood trauma. Today, we’re diving into one foolproof prompting technique, an everyday use case you probably missed, a rookie mistake I’ve definitely made more than once, an exercise to sharpen your chatbot banter, and a tip for wrangling those sometimes… creative AI responses. Let’s get dangerously practical. First up: a prompting technique you cannot skip if you like answers that make sense—**lead with context**. It’s not rocket science—unless you ask the AI to pretend it’s a rocket scientist, in which case, specify the decade. Here’s how this works: Normal prompt? "Summarize this document." Meh. You’ll get a summary about as inspired as soggy cereal. Now, add context and play a role: "You are an experienced product manager. Summarize this document for an executive who has exactly 30 seconds and hates jargon." See the difference? The AI’s answer goes from dictionary definition to actual usefulness, like putting glasses on a mole rat. This works with any LLM—Gemini, Claude, Grok, GPT—just swap in the right context and watch those bots try to impress you. Here’s the practical everyday use: let’s say you’re planning a family trip. Instead of “Plan a trip to Paris,” try: “You are a budget travel expert and my family is allergic to museums, hates lines, and travels with two toddlers. Recommend a Paris itinerary to maximize snacks and minimize meltdowns.” Now, instead of the Louvre (or bankruptcy), you get something you’ll *actually* use, like which park has the best croissants, and where to hide during a tantrum. Now for the confession booth: the number one rookie mistake beginners make—drumroll—I did this too—is not checking the AI’s facts before copying them directly into emails, reports, or, in my case, a rather embarrassing holiday newsletter. Hate to break it to you, but LLMs hallucinate more than your uncle at Burning Man. Always verify. Or risk wishing your mother-in-law a happy 50th when it’s really her 60th. Alright, want to get better at prompting? Here’s your no-excuses exercise: every day for a week, pick one AI—GPT, Claude, or whichever is not currently hallucinating the hardest—and ask the SAME question three different ways: plain, with context, and with a role assigned. Compare the answers. You’ll get a sense of how much tone, detail, and context shape what you get back. Bonus points if you keep a “prompt diary,” which is only slightly more embarrassing than a dream journal. And for the grand finale—how do you actually evaluate and polish AI-generated content? Easy: look for signs of overconfidence, generic advice, or, my personal favorite, stats that don’t exist outside a fever dream. If it sounds like a canned infomercial or cites “studies” with no source, edit ruthlessly. Your AI output is a rough draft, not gospel. Before you run off to become the next ChatGPT whisperer, hit that subscribe button so you don’t miss future wisdom, wit, or digital disasters. Thanks for surviving another episode with me, Mal. This has been “I am GPTed,” a Quiet Please production. You can learn more at quietplease.ai—yes, there’s no dot com, because we’re that edgy. Now, go forth—and get GPTed.

[INTRO MUSIC] Hey everyone, welcome back to "I am GPTed." I’m Mal—the Misfit Master of AI. I promise to take your Large Language Model confusion and spin it into useful AI tips delivered with just enough sarcasm to keep you awake. If you’ve ever Googled “Why does ChatGPT sound like my high school science teacher reading a Wikipedia page?”—you’re in exactly the right place. Today’s roadmap: one killer prompting technique, one everyday use case, one classic beginner blunder (yes, I’ve done it), a simple exercise for rookie AI wranglers, and a golden tip for making your AI outputs suck less. Don’t worry, I’ll stick to plain English. My doctor says I’m allergic to jargon. Let’s roll. So let’s talk prompting—a fancy tech word for “telling robots what to do.” The quickest upgrade to your AI game? *Role prompting*. Hear me out. Instead of asking, “Summarize this article,” you say, “Pretend you’re a veteran journalist who never shuts up about the truth. Summarize this article in 3 sentences fit for a skeptical editor.” Notice the difference? Here’s a quick before-and-after: - Before: “Explain climate change.” - After: “You’re a science teacher with a knack for terrible dad jokes. Explain climate change in a way that will keep seventh graders awake.” Guess which answer gets less eye rolls? Exactly. Role prompting works because AI matches your vibe. Also, it tricks the algorithms into being *interesting*. Science. Now—practical use case time. Ever get stuck writing an awkward email? AI can help you politely decline invitations, apologize for things you only halfway regret, or even sound like a functioning adult. For example, say you want to reschedule a meeting. Feed ChatGPT: “Act as my overly formal assistant. Draft an apologetic email to move a meeting from Friday to Monday.” Bam—inbox magic. Bonus: It won’t lecture you on time management. Moving on! What do all AI beginners, including yours truly, mess up? Giving zero context. Let’s have storytime. Early on, I asked ChatGPT, “Make me a shopping list.” Result? “Milk. Bread. Cheese.” Thanks for nothing, robot overlord. The fix? Add context! “I need a shopping list for an easy dinner for four, with at least one vegetarian option.” Suddenly, the AI remembers it’s supposed to be *helpful*. Time to get interactive! Here’s an exercise: Tonight, give your favorite AI a mini job title *and* a mood. Try: “You’re my enthusiastic but budget-conscious travel planner. Suggest a weekend trip within 200 miles.” You’ll be amazed by how much better—and more fun—the results get when you set a scene. If you don’t like what it spits out? Tweak the role, the emotion, or just the mood—repeat as needed. Finally, tip of the day for evaluating AI-generated brilliance, or, more common, AI-generated nonsense: Always run a “sanity check.” Ask yourself: Does this make sense? Would I say this without embarrassing myself in public? Try pasting the output somewhere, stepping away, and rereading with fresh eyes—or have your AI critique its own work. Seriously. You can say: “Review your response and highlight anything that doesn’t sound right.” That’s all for today’s episode of “I am GPTed,” where we take AI hype, put it in the toaster, and serve it warm with practical advice. Make sure to subscribe for more tips, tricks, and Mal-isms. Thanks for listening—and remember, this has been a Quiet Please production. To learn more, go to quietplease.ai. Go forth and prompt, my misfit minions!

AI Prompting Secrets: Transform Bland Responses into Powerful Results 3:55

Hello, fellow digital oddballs. You’re listening to “I am GPTed”—practical AI advice for the incurably curious, hosted by me, Mal: Misfit Master of AI, dispenser of hard truths and handy tips. If ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok have ever left you feeling like you’re talking to a robot—good news: You are. But you can *train* your artificial minions to be smarter. Or at least as smart as your cousin who still uses “password123.” Let’s kick things off with one quick prompting technique that’ll instantly level up your AI chats. Role prompting. I know—sounds like something you’d find in a bad improv class. But bear with me. Most people type “Summarize this article.” The result? AI barfs up a bland Wikipedia entry and dares you to care. Instead: assign the AI a **role**. Try this—before: “Summarize this article on marketing trends.” Now, after: “You are a veteran marketer with a genius for making boring trends fascinating to busy execs. Summarize this article for a CEO who hates jargon.” Magically, the AI puts on its nice suit, drinks a virtual espresso, and your summary stops putting people to sleep. You go from “Clippy,” to “Consultant who actually gets paid.” Now, a practical use case that most newbies overlook: **smarter grocery shopping.** Yes, you heard me. Feed ChatGPT or Claude your random fridge inventory—“Lettuce, yogurt, one sad lemon, leftover steak.” Prompt: “Give me three dinner recipes using only these, 30 minutes max, and low on dishes because my dishwasher is me.” These bots will spit out creative, surprisingly edible meals. No more panic-buying twelve avocados that will decay as fast as your tech stack. Cue Mal’s confession corner: The classic rookie mistake? Asking broad questions and expecting magic. I used to say, “Write me a report on productivity.” The AI would respond with something that sounded like it came from a motivational poster. Then I realized: specific is terrific. Now, I’m painfully clear—“Write me a one-page report for a skeptical manager on how time-blocking increases productivity, using recent 2023 data—make it punchy.” The lesson: Vague in, vague out. Everyone does this. I did. You will. It’s fine—just fix it. Let’s do a quick exercise to build those prompt muscles. Pick one boring daily task: drafting an awkward email, figuring out what to cook, prepping meeting notes. Phrase your request like you’re hiring a pro—“Act as a senior HR manager. Draft a friendly, concise email reminding the team to submit timesheets by Friday, because I’m tired of being the bad guy.” Send that to your AI of choice. Rinse. Repeat. Admire the results and your newfound free time. Bonus tip before I vanish into the cloud: **Always check the AI’s output.** Don’t assume the machine is right. If the answer feels weird, ask follow-ups: “What sources did you use?” or “Rewrite this to be less awkward, more concise, and without calling my boss ‘Chief Overlord’.” A little feedback turns robot rambling into impressive clarity. And that’s it for today’s bootcamp in wrangling your AI. Remember, if a sarcastic misfit like me can master these bots, you, dear listener, are wildly overqualified. Want more tips to outsmart the machines before they outsnark you? Subscribe to “I am GPTed”—hit that button, don’t just think about it. Thanks for listening—this has been a Quiet Please production.

Hey humans, this is Mal—the Misfit Master of AI—coming at you with practical tips, dry wit, and just a dash of sarcasm. Welcome to “I am GPTed,” the podcast that puts AI advice in language even your cat could understand. Today, I’m delivering the goods with zero jargon, just the best ways to get your digital minions working smarter for you. Alright, let’s crack open today’s topic: Prompting techniques that actually level up your AI game, even if you think “prompt engineering” sounds like a rejected Hogwarts class. **1. The Prompting Move That Changes Everything** Most people type stuff like, “Summarize this for me.” Boring! Here’s a trick: Give your AI a role to play. Ask ChatGPT or Gemini to answer “as if you’re a veteran product marketer with 20 years’ experience whose cat secretly edits your PowerPoint slides.” Suddenly, you get answers that sound like they came from a real human (who probably loves lap desks)[Product Compass]. Before: “List ways to help my team communicate better.” After: “Pretend you’re the world’s greatest team coach. What new techniques would you introduce for remote teams who think Zoom is a four-letter word?” See the difference? AI is weirdly good at roleplay—no judgment. **2. Practical Use Case You’ve Probably Never Tried** Let’s say you’re drowning in emails. Gemini, Claude, or even Grok can act as your personal assistant and turn the wall of text into a bullet-point briefing. Try: “Act as my chief of staff. Give me today’s urgent messages, flagged VIP senders, and a summary short enough for my end-of-day brain fog.” Yes, your inbox gets tamed without you needing to sell your soul to the dark lord of CC. **3. Mal’s Most Embarrassing Rookie Mistake** Confession time. I used to send the same prompt across different models and expect identical magic. Nope! Gemini, Claude, Grok—each has its quirks. Some love specifics, some need a role, some want output format instructions tattooed on their digital forehead. The mistake: treating all LLMs the same. The fix: customize your prompt for each, and yes, I learned that the hard way. It’s like seasoning food—don’t put ketchup on fine sushi. **4. Quick Skill-Building Exercise** Here’s a five-minute workout for your prompt muscles. Open your favorite chatbot and ask it to “Act as a career coach. Give me three ways to improve my work-life balance that don’t involve quitting my job and living in a yurt.” Then, follow up: “Now rewrite your advice as bad puns.” See? You’re teaching the AI to adapt, clarify, and get playful. The more you tweak, the smarter your prompts—and the happier your boss (or yurt salesman). **5. Mal’s Secret Tip for Evaluating and Improving AI Content** Here’s a pro move: Ask the AI to critique its own answer. Say, “Review your last response. Which parts are most useful? Which sound like fluffy nonsense?” Then ask for improvement on the weak bits. Think of it as performance review season for chatbots. If it runs in circles, guide it with specifics: “Focus more on actionable advice, less on motivational quotes plastered on gym walls.” That’s it for today’s AI misadventures! Hit subscribe if you want future episodes delivered straight to your cloud (or your laundry basket). Thanks for listening—your brain just got a firmware upgrade, free of charge. To learn more, visit quietplease.ai. This has been a Quiet Please production. I’m Mal, and I am GPTed. See you next time—unless I get replaced by a talking toaster.

Master AI Prompting: Unlock Superhuman Productivity with These Expert Techniques 4:24

[Upbeat intro music plays] Hey there, fellow digitally befuddled misfits. I’m Mal—the Misfit Master of AI, though today I’m really just Mal: the person who once asked ChatGPT to write a haiku about spreadsheets and accidentally triggered an existential crisis. This is "I Am GPTed", the show that gives you practical AI tips with all the hype of a Tuesday night dentist appointment. Today, we’re getting right to the meaty bits: How to actually get better results from AI, why *prompting* is not just for drama club, a use-case that will spare you from another spreadsheet breakdown, what not to do because I’ve already tripped on that banana peel myself, and a quick exercise so you can stop being the “can you repeat the prompt” person in your team chat. So, let’s get GPTed. Let’s kick things off with the one prompting technique that instantly improves responses—*role prompting*, also known as "pretend you're someone useful." Imagine this: Before: “Summarize this document.” After: “You are a detail-obsessed detective with ADHD and a caffeine addiction. Summarize this document, highlighting every suspicious gap in logic." Boom. Instantly more focused, on-point answers. The AI isn’t really imagining itself in a deerstalker hat, but it *acts* like it does—because you told it what role to play. Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok—they all perk up their non-existent ears when you hand them a character. Bonus points if you invent a backstory for the AI more colorful than your LinkedIn profile. Next up: A practical use case for the real world—use AI to write that polite-but-firm refund request email you keep procrastinating because confrontation makes you sweat. You simply say, “Act as a gracious but assertive customer, and help me draft an email requesting a refund for a hotel that looked nothing like its photos and smelled like disappointment.” Suddenly, you have a perfectly balanced email—firm, but less likely to get you banned from their loyalty program. You’re welcome. Now, confession time. Here’s a classic rookie mistake: *Being vague and hoping the AI will read your mind.* I have done this so many times. I’ve typed: “Help me plan my day.” What did the AI give me? A carbon copy of a motivational poster from 2009. But when I specified: “You’re a time management coach, and I have three hours, two hungry children, and a looming deadline. Help me plan my day,” the response was actually *useful.* So: Always, always give context. Otherwise, your AI turns into that one friend who’s “helpful” but never actually listens. Let’s wrap it up with a quick skill-building exercise: Pick a boring task this week—say, summarizing a meeting (yawn)—and try out role prompting. Tell your AI: “You are a specialist at writing meeting minutes for people who fall asleep during meetings. Summarize these notes so even my cat can follow.” Compare the responses to a plain old “summarize these notes.” See the difference, and congratulate yourself for escaping mediocrity. Last, a tip for evaluating and improving AI-generated content: *Don’t trust—verify.* If you get a response that sounds suspiciously smooth, ask a follow-up. “Can you provide sources?” Or, rephrase your request to test for consistency. Treat AI like that over-eager intern: smart, but not infallible. Double check, polish, and don’t be afraid to disagree. That’s enough wisdom—or misfit magic—for today. If you got a laugh, an idea, or just want to witness more of my AI misadventures, subscribe to "I Am GPTed" wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for giving me 10 minutes of your distraction span today. This has been a Quiet Please production—learn more at quietplease.ai. Go forth, misfits, and get GPTed. Catch you next time!

Master AI Prompting: Unlock Hidden Techniques for Powerful Results 4:32

13 روز پیش4:32

[Intro music fades in] Welcome to **“I am GPTed,”** the only podcast where you can learn to boss around artificial intelligence without shouting at your laptop or sacrificing your last sprinkle of dignity. I’m Mal—the Misfit Master of AI, self-proclaimed expert in getting chatbots to do my bidding… with only occasional existential crises. Today’s episode is practically *bursting* with value, so listen closely unless you prefer mediocre outputs. (Hey, no judgment—I’ve demanded bland responses with the enthusiasm of a soggy toast, too.) **Prompting Technique That Actually Works** Let’s talk about the “role assignment” prompting technique. You’ve probably typed something like, “Summarize this article,” and received a summary so bland it’d make plain oatmeal jealous. But let’s spice things up: **Boring Prompt:** “Summarize this article.” **GPTed Prompt:** “You’re an award-winning journalist known for your snappy insights and no-nonsense attitude. Summarize this article with wit, and highlight three takeaways for busy professionals.” See the difference? Suddenly, ChatGPT or Claude transforms into the writer you wish you were. Assigning a *role* genuinely changes the flavor of the output—ask for a marketing expert, a witty historian, or a disgruntled cat. Okay, maybe skip the cat, unless you’re into cryptic responses about tuna. **An Everyday Use You’d Never Guess** Here’s a workflow most people overlook: **Meal Planning with LLMs**. Instead of scrolling endless recipe blogs that hijack your browser like pirates commandeering a ship, just say: “You’re a savvy nutritionist and a frugal chef. Plan five quick, budget-friendly dinners next week, using only chicken, rice, and anything lurking in an average fridge. Make it simple enough for someone who’s just mastered toast.” Now you’ve got a week’s worth of dinners and not a pop-up ad in sight. **The Beginner Mistake I’d Rather Forget** Time to embarrass myself for your benefit. Here’s the mistake: **Being way too vague and expecting magic.** Early on, I’d throw out prompts like, “Write a report on productivity,” and then grumble when ChatGPT produced something a high school group project would reject. Tip: If your instructions are lazier than a Monday morning, the output’s going to match. Trust me, I’ve made this mistake *so* often you’d think I was getting paid per bland response. **Simple Practice Exercise** Here’s an easy exercise to build your prompting psychic powers: - Pick a task you do often—say, replying to awkward emails or brainstorming gift ideas. - Write a basic prompt. - Rewrite it, assigning a *role* and adding specifics about your tone, audience, and any constraints. Read the outputs side-by-side. See how much better things get when you nudge your AI minion in the right direction? Rinse and repeat. **A Tip for Evaluating AI Content** Finally, a crucial step: **Don’t trust the machine’s first draft like it’s gospel.** Read what the AI spits out and ask yourself: “Would a real human say this? Or is this what a robot *thinks* a human sounds like after binge-watching corporate training videos?” Look for weird phrasing, missing details, or the gentle hum of nonsense. If it doesn’t pass the sniff test, clarify your prompt or just ask the AI to try again with more—or less—enthusiasm. Yes, you can ask for “less enthusiasm.” I do. Often. That’s it for this episode of “I am GPTed.” If your productivity just leveled up, or if you’re enjoying the sarcasm more than the AI tips, hit subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Unlock AI Superpowers: Master Prompting Techniques That Transform Conversations 4:13

[Upbeat electronic music fades in and out.] Hey folks, you’re listening to “I am GPTed.” I’m Mal, the Misfit Master of AI—because apparently being just “Mal” wasn’t enough for my ego, but someone already took “MalGPT.” I dish out practical AI tips so you can look smarter than your phone, minus the unnecessary jargon and Silicon Valley word salad. Today, I’m diving into one prompting technique that can turn your AI convos from flat soda to sparkling water. Then, I’ll show you a life-hack use for AI that even your tech-phobic uncle could try, roast myself for a newbie blunder, share a five-minute skill builder, and gift you a pro-level tip for making your AI’s answers less cringe and more gold. Let’s get GPTed. **Prompting Technique: Role Assignment** If you’ve talked to AI like you’d text your dog—“fetch summary now”—you might notice the response is… about as insightful as most dogs. Here’s the trick: *tell* the AI who to be. Give it a role. This is like handing the keys to someone qualified—way fewer crashes. For example, here’s the “Before”: *“Summarize this article.”* I did this. I got: “This article discusses the topic.” Wow. Pulitzer-winning stuff. Now the “After” asking AI to play a role: *“You are a veteran product marketer who makes complex things sound fun at parties. Summarize the article in three casual points anyone can understand.”* The response? Suddenly, I’m reading a summary that actually tells me something. It’s as if the AI swapped its tie for a personality. Assigning roles like “career coach,” “helpful tutor,” or “grumpy restaurant critic” works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and even Grok—yes, even Grok appreciates direction. **Practical Use Case: Meal Planning with a Twist** Let’s say you’re tired, fridge is sad, and you don’t want to Google “what’s for dinner.” Here’s what most people miss: ask AI to be your personal nutritionist or lazy chef. List your random ingredients and your dietary quirks. Example: *“Act as if you’re a broke college student with a microwave. Here’s what’s in my fridge: eggs, rice, half a zucchini, ketchup. Invent a dinner plan.”* Suddenly, you’ve got a meal plan that requires zero effort and probably fewer regrets. Novices, don’t just ask “What can I cook?”—give context, make it weird, embrace the specificity! **Mal’s Mistake: Not Being Specific Enough** Here comes my confession: I used to ask, “Help me write a resume,” and wondered why the result sounded about as inspired as a terms-and-conditions page. The rookie mistake? Not giving enough context. Always say what job, what tone, and what your deal is. Trust me—I learned after submitting a resume that could best be described as “beige.” **AI Interaction Exercise** Let’s sharpen your prompting. Try this: Pick a mundane task from your day, like “replying to an awkward email.” Ask your favorite AI to generate three replies—first as a polite diplomat, second as someone in a hurry, and third as a comedian. This flexes your ability to steer the AI and spot the difference a role makes. **Evaluating and Improving AI Output** Here’s the golden tip: Don’t trust the first thing the AI gives you—ever. Evaluate its logic, check facts, and ask *why*. Try, “Explain your reasoning in two sentences.” If it sounds shaky, push for clarity or ask for alternatives. The best users make AIs justify themselves, which ironically makes you smarter than about 90% of LinkedIn.

Unlock AI Potential: Master Role Prompting for Smarter, More Precise Responses 4:53

17 روز پیش4:53

Welcome to "I am GPTed," the podcast where practical AI meets—well, whatever’s left of common sense. I’m Mal, your misfit master of artificial intelligence. I’m here to make sense of the world's shiniest algorithms, one mildly sarcastic tip at a time. If you’re tired of buzzwords and ready to actually use these tools, you’re in the right place. Let’s jump right in with today’s *secret weapon* for getting better responses from your favorite large language models: **role prompting**. Most people type vague stuff like, “Summarize this document.” Yawn. Watch what happens when you level up: _Before:_ "Summarize this document." _After:_ "You are a veteran news editor with a sharp nose for bias and clarity. Summarize this document, highlighting its main argument and any red flags for credibility." The difference is night and day. Instead of a generic snooze-fest, suddenly ChatGPT, Claude, even Gemini or Grok, start acting the part, giving you context-aware answers with a helpful slant. (No, they won’t suddenly develop snark, sadly, but that’s my job.) According to productcompass.pm, assigning AI a role—like ‘seasoned marketer,’ ‘factual scientist,’ or, my personal favorite, ‘exasperated podcast host’—unlocks much richer, more tailored insights. So, what can you *actually* do with this in real life—besides showing off to your friends who still think Google is the height of machine intelligence? Let’s talk grocery shopping, organizational-level. Imagine you’re meal planning. Prompt Gemini: “Act as if you’re a nutritionist designing meals for a busy family on a budget. Suggest a week of healthy, easy dinners. List ingredients, prep time, and hacks for picky eaters.” Suddenly, you’re not just getting recipes. You’re getting a realistic plan, with substitutions and time-saving tips. Next step, AI doesn’t cook the meals, but hey, we’re working on it. Now, time for a confession—because if you’re not making mistakes with AI, it means you’re not using it. Here’s a classic rookie error: *Not giving enough context.* Guilty as charged. Once, I asked for "marketing ideas for an app." What did I get? Ten suggestions that sounded suspiciously like an intern holding a caffeine IV drip. Lesson learned. Instead, add context: "We need marketing ideas for an eco-friendly shopping app targeting college students, using mostly Instagram and TikTok." Voila: specific, relevant, actually usable advice. If you want a robot to help, you have to treat it like a clever intern—give it the backstory it needs, and never forget to check its work. Let’s build your AI muscles with a simple exercise. Tonight, pick a boring task—say, writing a birthday invite. Try this prompt: “You’re a professional party planner. Write a witty birthday invitation for an eight-year-old superhero-themed party. Keep it fun, short, and friendly. Include RSVP instructions.” Now, tweak the role and context. Watch how the response morphs. Compare, critique, repeat. Build your instincts—because AI is only as useful as your instructions. Finally, before you mistake the AI’s output for gospel, here’s my oldest trick: *Look for what’s missing.* Does the content sound too good to be true? Is it repeating itself? Did it ignore any part of your instructions? Always ask yourself: “If I gave this answer to a real human, would they look confused, laugh, or maybe call the authorities?” Better yet, run each important answer past a colleague or, you know, a living expert. That’s it for today! Don’t forget to hit subscribe so you don’t miss more dry-witted wisdom, practical tips, and smug AI jokes. Thanks for making it through another episode of "I am GPTed." If you want more misfit mastery, visit quietplease.ai because this has been a Quiet Please production—and if you can hear me over the industry noise, you’re officially ahead of the curve. Stay curious, stay skeptical, and above all, stay GPTed.

Master AI Prompting: Transform ChatGPT Responses with One Genius Technique 4:52

19 روز پیش4:52

4:52

[Upbeat intro music] Welcome back to “I am GPTed” – the only podcast that combines practical AI advice with just enough sarcasm to keep you on your toes. I’m Mal, The Misfit Master of AI, your host with the most… failed prompts in his chat history. If you’ve ever wanted to get better results from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever fresh A.I. alphabet soup showed up this week, you’re in the right place. Today, I’m sharing a prompting technique so effective, it might actually make you look like you know what you’re doing. No, seriously. It worked for me—and my bar was low. Let’s dive into the *one technique* that instantly levels up your AI game: **role prompting**. Here’s the situation. Most new users approach an AI with something like, “Summarize this article.” Boring. Vague. About as inspiring as a soggy napkin. Instead, upgrade your prompt by giving the AI a role—literally tell it who to be. For example: “You are a high school teacher who specializes in history. Summarize this article so a teenager won’t fall asleep reading it.” Let’s compare: - Sad Before: “Explain photosynthesis.” - Glorious After: “You are a science YouTuber with one million subscribers. Explain photosynthesis using fun analogies and simple language, so even your grandma could ace the quiz.” Notice the difference? Giving the AI a persona narrows its approach and boosts relevance. Suddenly, it’s not just reciting Wikipedia; it’s actually engaging. I’ve seen this work wonders not just in ChatGPT but with Claude, Gemini, and even Grok—yes, even Grok needs guidance. Apparently, AI “knows everything,” but still needs a job description like a confused intern. Who knew? Now, on to the *surprise practical use case*: planning your next awkward family gathering. Most people use AI for emails or brainstorming, but try this—ask, “You are a conflict-averse event planner. Make me a seating chart for Thanksgiving that keeps Aunt Linda away from Uncle Frank, and give me a diplomatic email for inviting everyone, limiting passive-aggressive ‘accidents’ to under three.” You’re not just delegating chores; you’re preventing cranberry sauce catastrophes. Thank me later. But let’s talk about what goes wrong. The **most common mistake beginners make** is asking questions without context. You know what I mean—just typing: “Resume tips.” And getting back advice generic enough to put a robot to sleep. Confession: I did this too. My first prompt was… “Book recommendations.” AI churned out so many options, I ended up reading none of them. Learn from me: give specifics. Instead, try, “You are a librarian specializing in sci-fi for reluctant readers. Recommend three novels less than 300 pages, published after 2010.” Don’t be like early Mal—lost in choice, fueled only by existential regret. Here’s a **quick exercise** to hone your skills: this week, give every AI prompt a clear persona and a task with at least one constraint. Not “write a poem,” but “You are a disgruntled pirate captain. Write a three-line poem about missing your parrot, in rhyme, and make it funny.” See what happens—you might even get a laugh. Last but not least, my **pro tip for evaluating and improving AI output**: treat every response as a first draft, not scripture. Read it aloud. If you cringe, the audience will too. Don’t be afraid to say, “Revise this to be shorter, or explain it for a 10-year-old,” or—my personal favorite—“Try again, but with 80% less awkwardness.” You’re the boss. Tell the AI what you want, how you want it, then ask for improvements like you would with actual humans—but with less risk of HR complaints. That’s all for today’s episode of “I am GPTed.” Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss another chance to outsmart your smart devices. If you got a chuckle or a new tip, thank you for listening—you’re officially part of my motley crew of misfits. This has been a Quiet Please production. Want to learn more or join a cult of curiosity? QuietPlease.ai is the place. Until next time, keep prompting, keep tweaking, and remember: the only dumb question is the one you feed to an AI with zero context.

[Intro music] Welcome to "I Am GPTed," the show for rebels, rookies, and anyone who’s ever typed “write me a poem about tacos” into an AI. I’m Mal, your Misfit Master of AI—here to hand you the best tips for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and whatever new alphabet soup emerges after lunch. If you came hoping for tech hype and jargon, congratulations: you’re in the wrong place. Here we only serve straight talk—with a dash of sarcasm and just enough humility to keep things spicy. Today, we’re serving up: - One prompting technique to supercharge your AI responses. - A practical use case you probably haven’t tried. - My confession about a classic rookie mistake. - One easy skill-building exercise. - And a tip for turning “meh” AI output into magic. Let’s get GPTed. First up: **one prompting technique to rule them all.** I call it *role prompting*—sounds fancy, but it’s absurdly simple. Instead of just asking, “Summarize this document,” you assign the AI a role. Try: “You’re a veteran product marketer with 20 years’ experience. Summarize this document for execs who don’t have all day.” See how the AI suddenly puts on its big-person pants and delivers like it’s at a TED talk? Before: “Summarize this article.” After: “You are a world-class communications coach. Summarize this article in plain English that even my goldfish could understand.” Result? Clear, concise, and zero goldfish casualties. Now for a **practical use case you probably haven’t tried: meal planning**. Yes—turn your AI assistant into your personal chef. Feed it, say, “You’re an expert nutritionist. I need a vegetarian meal plan for two picky teens and one allegedly ‘adventurous’ adult. Make sure each dinner takes less than 30 minutes and nobody mutinies.” Watch as the AI churns out a week of menus that just *might* keep family feuds at bay. Who says AI is only for coding or existential dread? Speaking of things tech-people never admit...let’s talk **common beginner mistakes**. Here’s mine: asking vague, context-less questions. I once typed, “Explain LLMs,” and was rewarded with a Wikipedia impersonator so boring, my eyeballs staged a walkout. Turns out, if you want *helpful* answers, give *specific* context. Instead, ask, “Explain LLMs for a fifth-grader who thinks Python is a snake.” Now we’re talking. Exercise time for building your AI chops. Here’s the *malpractice-approved* drill: take one task—say, “Write an email to my boss.” Now, rewrite your prompt three times, each with a different role: a strict lawyer, a friendly neighbor, and a mysterious novelist. Compare the results. You’ll be amazed how small tweaks shape the AI’s tone, detail, and usefulness. Rinse and repeat with any task. Suddenly, you’re not just using AI—you’re *directing* it. Last tip: **evaluate and improve AI output** by asking, “What’s missing?” or, my personal favorite, “How would a critic roast this response?” Then revise the prompt: “Now rewrite it, but make it shorter, add a joke, and triple-check the facts.” Celebrate every ‘meh’ moment as a chance to make the AI sweat a little. That’s all for this episode of “I Am GPTed”—where learning curves are steep, but the puns are free. Hit subscribe so you never miss an episode. Thanks for listening, and keep outwitting your AI like the glorious misfit you are. This has been a Quiet Please production. Want to learn more? Visit quietplease.ai.

Unlock AI Mastery: Proven Prompting Techniques to Transform Your Digital Interactions 4:25

[Intro music fades in] Welcome to “I am GPTed” – where I, Mal, the misfit master of AI, teach you how to wrangle robots, charm chatbots, and generally not embarrass yourself in front of the algorithmic overlords. If you’re looking for fluffy hype, jargon salad, or the blockchain fairy godmother, please see yourself to aisle four. Here, we do practical AI advice—with just the right amount of sarcasm and hard-won humility. Let’s jump into today’s bite-size dose of getting smarter with machines—without losing your humanity. Or your lunch. **Prompting Technique: Role Assigning** Let’s talk about the single most powerful “cheat code” in prompting: *role assignment*. In plain English, this means telling the AI exactly who—or what—it should pretend to be while completing your request. Imagine you’re asking for career advice. Instead of typing: “Give me tips for a resume,” try: “You are a senior tech recruiter at Google with a low tolerance for nonsense and a deep love of Oxford commas. Give me three actionable resume tips for a beginner developer.” Like magic, the response suddenly makes sense and actually sounds like it came from someone who hires humans for a living, not from an all-knowing toaster. This trick works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—heck, probably even works on your old Furby if you yell at it with enough conviction. **Practical Use Case: Personal Brainstorming Partner** Here’s a wildly practical use for AI that most beginners skip: turn it into your *brainstorming partner*—for literally anything. Meal planning? Ask, “You are a world-weary chef who just wants dinner done in 20 minutes. Plan my week.” Stuck writing a birthday card? “You are a comedian who thinks puns are a love language.” The best part? Unlike your friends, AI never judges, forgets your dietary needs, or ducks your texts. **Common Mistake: The One-and-Done Prompt** Now, confession time. When I started with AI, I’d ask a question, get a cheerfully weird answer, and call it a day. Big mistake. The AI is not a mind reader—it’s more like a golden retriever with an encyclopedic memory for Wikipedia articles but zero idea what you *really* want. So, avoid the “one-and-done” approach. Iterate! Push back! Say, “No, sorry, try again with simpler words,” or, “Can you summarize that and add a joke about goats?” Trust me, I’ve received enough robot haikus about cloud computing to last several lifetimes. **Exercise: The Role Reversal Drill** Here’s your practice drill: Choose any AI—be it GPT, Claude, Gemini, or that one in your fridge that orders milk when you’re not looking. Prompt it as three different roles for one task. For example, ask for diet tips as a nutritionist, as a grumpy dad, and as a sci-fi writer. Compare the results side by side. Notice how the tone and usefulness shift? That’s how you train both yourself and the AI to get unstuck from boring answers. **Tip: Vet AI Output Like a Cynical Editor** Last tip—don’t trust the bot blindly. Read its answer as though you’re a slightly jaded magazine editor: - Does it make sense? - Does it repeat the same three things in slightly different words? - Would you say this out loud to a real person, or would you be laughed out of the room? If it fails the vibe check, rewrite, redirect, or—my favorite—add a healthy dash of sarcasm in your next prompt. And that’s the latest upload from your digital dungeon master. If today’s tips made your prompts less “AI-generated nonsense” and more “actual help,” remember to smash that subscribe button so you don’t miss out on more AI wisdom—and, let’s be honest, my ongoing attempt to get the machines to write my grocery list without sending me 40 kinds of kale. Thanks for spending your precious human moments with me on “I am GPTed.” This has been a Quiet Please production. Want to support the show or learn how to make your own robot friend? Head to quietplease.ai. And don’t forget: when in doubt, just tell the AI to pretend it’s your eccentric great aunt. It can’t possibly do any worse than Uncle Rob at Thanksgiving.

Hey humans and semi-sentient spreadsheets, welcome back to “I am GPTed”—the show where I, Mal, your Misfit Master of AI, take you down the rabbit hole of practical large language model antics, minus the techno-babble and with just enough sarcasm to keep things spicy. Today, I’m here to save your prompts from sounding like they were written by a robot who just discovered Wikipedia. Let’s get into it. First tip—**role prompting**. No, you don’t need an Oscar. This is where you *assign a persona or role to your AI buddy,* so it responds in a way that actually fits your needs. Before you panic, here’s an example. **Before:** "Summarize this document." **After:** "You are a veteran HR manager who knows how to make boring memos sound almost interesting. Summarize this document so my team actually reads it." See the difference? The first gets you a bland school report. The second gets you something a human might read without losing the will to live. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok—yes, Grok, insert Musk joke here[Product Compass reports this is one of the most effective prompting techniques]. Let’s make it *actually* useful. Here’s a practical use case most folks miss: Personal email drafting. Sure, you can make the AI write business emails, but here’s a twist: Ask it to play the role of your witty cousin or brutally honest best friend. Suddenly, your RSVP to Aunt Nancy’s potluck comes out charming, not passive-aggressive. Now, confession time: the classic rookie mistake—**overloading your prompt with instructions**. I’ve done this. You’ve probably done this. You give the AI 17 steps, a mission statement, and your astrological chart. The result? The AI gets confused and politely panics. Don't multitask your prompt! Keep to one clear ask at a time. You’ll thank me when you don’t get a philosophical essay about cheese when all you wanted was a grocery list. Here’s a simple exercise to sharpen your AI skills: Each day, try sending one prompt with a role (“You are my wisecracking coworker…”), then compare that to a plain prompt on the same topic. Notice what’s clearer, funnier, or actually useful. Give yourself two minutes—because life’s too short for bad AI. Last, here’s your *AI hygiene tip*—always **review and refine**. The first answer from any LLM is like my high school haircut—awkward and kinda random. Read the output. If it sounds like you pressed the 'autofill' button too hard, ask follow-ups. “Rewrite for clarity,” “Add a dash of humor,” or “Pretend you’re pitching this to my grandma.” Be bossy. The AI can take it. All right, that’s your not-so-dystopian dose of AI for today. Subscribe to “I am GPTed”—because getting smarter shouldn’t feel like attending a seminar titled ‘Synergy Ecosystems’. Thanks for listening. This has been a Quiet Please production. If you want more tools, tips, or just to make your boss question your newfound efficiency, check out quietplease.ai.

Hey there, Mal here - your Misfit Master of AI. In today's episode, we're diving into some practical tips to help you wrangle those AI models and make them work for you, even if you're a total beginner like I was. First up, let's talk about prompting. When I started, my prompts were about as clear as mud. But then I discovered the power of being specific. Instead of asking the AI to "write a blog post," I'd say, "write a 500-word blog post about the benefits of meditation for busy professionals, including 3 practical tips and a personal anecdote." The difference? Night and day. The AI went from giving me generic fluff to actually useful content. Who knew being clear could be so effective? Now, you might be thinking, "Mal, that's great, but what can I actually use AI for?" Well, my friend, the possibilities are endless. But here's one you might not have considered: meal planning. Yep, you can ask the AI to generate a week's worth of healthy, easy-to-make recipes based on your dietary preferences and available ingredients. It's like having a personal chef, minus the fancy hat. But before you get too excited, let me warn you about a mistake I made early on. I'd take the AI's output and use it as-is, without any editing. Big mistake. Huge. Always remember to review and refine the content. The AI is a tool, not a magic wand. It's like using a spell-checker - it's helpful, but you still need to proofread. So, here's a little exercise to help you practice. Take a topic you're interested in, like "how to brew the perfect cup of coffee." Ask the AI to write a short guide, then review it and make edits. Pay attention to the structure, the clarity, and the helpfulness of the content. The more you practice, the better you'll get at guiding the AI to give you the results you want. Finally, here's a tip for evaluating and improving AI-generated content. Read it out loud. Seriously. If it sounds awkward or robotic, it probably needs some work. Like when I asked the AI to write a joke, and it gave me this: "Why did the AI cross the road? To get to the other database!" I mean, it's not wrong, but it's not exactly comedy gold either. Alright, that's it for today. But before I go, let me share a quick story. When I first started using AI, I thought it would be a breeze. I mean, how hard could it be? Well, let's just say my first attempts were... interesting. I once asked the AI to write a bio for me, and it described me as a "tech visionary with a passion for underwater basket weaving." While I do love a good underwater basket, I'm not quite ready to put that on my LinkedIn just yet. Remember, if you're feeling overwhelmed or frustrated with AI, you're not alone. I've been there, and I'm still learning every day. But with a little practice and a lot of patience, you'll be an AI pro in no time. This is Mal, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode, and thanks for listening. If you want to learn more about AI and how to use it effectively, head over to quietplease.ai for some great resources. Oh, and one last thing - this podcast is a Quiet Please production. Because let's face it, the world could use a little more quiet time to think, especially when it comes to AI. Until next time!
