Listen "Walt's Cloak"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWelcome to celebrate creativity. My name is George Bartley, and this is episode 435 - Walt’s CloakIt seems that the best way to get useful information from an ai is by using clear and thorough prompts. In other words, the best way to get an answer that is useful is to spend time thinking how to communicate clearly what you want to say - possibly writing down a list of the questions you want to ask - because it is easy to get off-topic. Sometimes, that might require that you spend a few sentences describing your situation. This will inevitably get you a better answer.Here I am using perplexity - not my favorite AI - but one that is serviceable enough. To start with, I enter what might seem like a rather long prompt. Some people might feel that it even has unnecessary information, but I have found that's a more information you give the AI.bot the more information it has to go on and the better answer we can give you.So without further ado, my prompt regarding Whitman and Peter Doyle is as follows:Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
