In this case, it will still... See more

#4—Prompting is a finicky art, but a worthy investment While it would be great if the three techniques I’ve shared so far immediately transform your prompts, there's a decent chance they will fall flat for your use case. My guess is that they will even become irrelevant as models become smarter and more cost-effective over time. My point in sharing

Recursive prompting isn’t just a personal trick. It’s a missing skill for millions of people who use AI every day at work without realizing they’re using it wrong.

It flips the entire script. Instead of asking AI to do tasks you don't understand, you use AI to build the understanding you need, then guide it to execute at a higher level.
