    AI Prompting Secrets: Transform ChatGPT From Boring Bot to Brilliant Collaborator

    Welcome back to "I am GPTed," the only podcast where practical AI wisdom meets the whimsical stylings of your host, Mal—the Misfit Master of AI. If you were looking for a self-important tech guru, you clearly made a wrong turn. But stick around—I’ve got tips that *actually* help you win at AI, minus the jargon migraines. Let’s get right into some actual value, shall we? Today’s main course: **one prompting technique that will instantly upgrade your results with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok—yes, we’re collecting LLMs like Pokémon cards here.** My top technique? *Role prompting*. Simple, powerful, and best of all, sounds way fancier than it is. Here’s why it matters. Most people approach an AI like they’re submitting an annoyed IT ticket: “Summarize this document.” Sure, you’ll get a summary—about as inspiring as room-temperature soup. **Let’s fix that:** - *Before* (the way most do it): “Summarize this document.” - *After* (Mal’s Upgrade): “You are a veteran marketer known for turning snoozefests into viral sensations. Summarize this document in a way that makes bored people care.” See the difference? The “after” prompt gives the AI context, purpose, and—brace yourself for this—personality. Suddenly, your AI goes from soulless bot to surprisingly useful collaborator. Should’ve been obvious, but hey, hindsight’s perfect when you’re not squinting through hype goggles. Now for **a practical use case you might not have considered**: Planning a boring weekly grocery list? No need to suffer. Prompt your AI with: “You are a meal planner who loves saving time and money for a busy family of four. Plan out dinners for the week using what’s already in my pantry.” Suddenly, dinnertime is less bland torture, more accidental superpower. Next, watch your friends look at your meal plan like you’ve passed some domestic Turing test. On to **one common beginner mistake**—and let’s be real, I’ve made it more times than I’ll admit to my microwave: *Not giving enough context.* Early on, I’d ask, “Write me a blog post about productivity.” Result? Generic, beige advice. If vanilla was a color, that’s what my blog looked like. The fix? Feed the AI the *who, why, and how much detail* you want. Remember: You wouldn’t expect stellar results from half-baked directions. Neither will your LLM. Here’s **a simple exercise** for you to practice your AI skills: This week, choose one daily task—could be crafting an email, planning a schedule, or even writing a “get out of small talk” script. Prompt your favorite AI and *each day, iterate*. Add more context, set a specific role, and tweak the tone. Notice what changes and what works. Congratulations, you’re doing *prompt engineering* without having to endure a single TED talk about “the future.” Now, for a **tip on evaluating and improving AI content**: Never trust the first draft—just like you wouldn’t trust a cat with your sandwich. Read the output aloud. If it sounds robotic, vague, or like it was ghostwritten by a sleep-deprived parrot, don’t be shy: Prompt the AI to clarify, elaborate, or add examples. Unlike people, it never gets offended by your relentless “but can you make it less boring?” follow-ups. Alright, that’s your AI lowdown for today! If you got even one useful tactic—or just enjoyed the parade of sarcasm—smash that subscribe button on whatever podcast app lets you pretend to do work while secretly leveling up your AI game.

    Unlock AI Superpowers: Master Prompting Techniques for Smarter, More Efficient Results

    Welcome, fellow misfits, to "I am GPTed," where your host—Mal, the self-proclaimed Master of AI and certified jargon-allergic smart aleck—delivers the world’s best practical AI tips. Because, let’s be honest, if you wanted hype and buzzwords, you’d be listening to a blockchain podcast right now. Today, we’re going deep—but not too deep, nobody brought scuba gear—into making your favorite LLMs (that’s Large Language Models, not “Lousy Lunch Meetings,” thankfully) work smarter for you. And if you’re new, relax: I speak human, not robo-gibberish. Let’s start with a prompting technique that improves results overnight: **role prompting**. In plain English, you tell the AI who to “pretend” to be. It’s like costume day for ChatGPT and friends—but with more practical outcomes. Here’s the “before”: “Summarize this report for me.” And now, the “after,” with role prompting: “Act as an executive assistant. Summarize this report in bullet points a busy manager would want.” See the glow-up? Suddenly, you get a clean, prioritized summary, not a wall of text auditioning for a novel prize. This works wonders with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini—those LLMs love a good role-play, no judgement. Now, a practical use case you might not have considered: **AI as your brainstorming partner**. Sure, you can ask it to write an email or plan a vacation, but try, “Suggest three ways to organize a chaotic garage, tailored for someone with way too many old hobbies they definitely won’t pick up again.” Bam—fresh ideas for that “aspirational woodworking phase” clutter. The AI isn’t just a chatbot—it’s a creativity assistant. And no, it won’t judge your unicycle. Here’s a mistake I guarantee every beginner has made, myself included: **assuming the AI knows exactly what you want**. You type, “Draft a letter for my landlord about the heater.” Two seconds later, you’re staring at a formal complaint for the Queen of England. Oops. To avoid this: **add specific details**. “Write a polite, concise email to my landlord, explaining the heater broke yesterday and asking for a quick repair.” The more context, the less chance of getting a regal royal decree when all you wanted was warm toes. For skill-building, here’s your exercise this week: **Give AI a tiny challenge with clear structure**. Try this: “Act as a travel agent. Give me a three-day itinerary for Paris, with one museum, one food adventure, and one hidden gem per day.” Check the output. Refine your prompt until it feels tailored, not robotic. Repeat with a new city—because someday you will use those vacation days. Finally, the tip for evaluating and improving AI-generated content: **Never settle for the first draft.** If the AI hands you something “meh,” ask, “Can you simplify this?” or “Can you organize this into a checklist?” Think of the AI as a tireless intern who never gets offended by more edits. So, if today’s episode helped you wrangle your AI to do your bidding (or at least organize your unicycle collection), *subscribe*—unless you like wandering the algorithmic wilderness alone. Thanks for listening to "I am GPTed." This has been a Quiet Please production. To learn more or keep the awkward silence at bay, visit quietplease.ai. Stay curious, keep misfitting, and remember: you’re always one good prompt away from brilliance—or at least a decent email draft.

    AI Prompting Secrets: Master Conversational Chatbots with Role-Playing Techniques

    Welcome to "I am GPTed," the show where practical AI advice gets served with just the right amount of snark. I’m Mal—the Misfit Master of AI—here to help you not only survive generative AI, but maybe even look smart on Zoom while doing it. Alright, let's dive straight into misery—I mean mastery. First up, a *prompting technique* that actually works: **role prompting**. This is where you tell the chatbot who to be before you ask your question. Here’s the *before* example, starring the AI equivalent of plain oatmeal: > “Summarize this document.” Now the *after* version, with a hint of role playing—think Hogwarts, but for data nerds: > “You are a veteran product marketer with 20 years of experience. Summarize this document as if you're prepping for a cutthroat board meeting.” Notice the difference? The second prompt gets you responses that are punchier, tailored, and less likely to sound as if the AI is narrating a corporate safety video. Role prompting is basically method acting for robots, except you don’t have to clap politely after[Product Compass]. Now, let’s get *practical*. If you thought AI was just for writing essays or firing off questionable tweets, think again. Imagine you’re planning your weekly grocery run but your brain has been replaced by a colander. You can prompt your favorite AI like this: > “Act as if you’re a thrifty nutritionist. Plan my grocery list using only what's on sale, but ensure it’s healthy and feeds four adults all week.” Suddenly your shopping is efficient, nutritious, and doesn’t end with you panic-eating dry spaghetti. You can use this trick for meal planning, scheduling, even prepping for big work presentations[Harvard IT]. Now, it’s confession time. Here’s a beginner *mistake* I still make, because apparently old habits die harder than Internet Explorer: Asking AI for something vague, then expecting actionable gold. Example: > “Give me suggestions for team building.” What you get: A bland, recycled list as thrilling as a rush hour PowerPoint. Instead, be specific! > “You are an HR manager at a remote-first company. Suggest three team-building activities for introverts that don’t involve trust falls or singing.” Get precise, get magical. I’ve made this mistake more times than my WiFi has gone out, so save yourself the disappointment. Here’s your *simple exercise*: Tonight, try this—assign the AI a role (chef, project manager, stand-up comedian), then prompt it to solve a small, everyday problem. Review the result. If it’s lackluster, tweak the role or add details until you get something that doesn’t make you question the future of civilization. Before you run off and automate your entire life, here’s my tip for *evaluating AI-generated content*: Read it out loud. If it sounds like your high school essay on “The Importance of Trees”—flat and confused—it’s time to revise the prompt. Good AI output should sound like a conversation, not a warranty agreement. That’s all for today, digital daredevils! Remember to subscribe to "I am GPTed" wherever fine sarcasm is streamed. Thanks for listening, and if you want to become a certified misfit master yourself, check out Quiet Please—yes, quietplease.ai. I’m Mal, and this has been a Quiet Please production—the only place where AI advice comes with free eye rolls. See you next time, and may your prompts be precise and your typos unintentional!

    Master AI Prompting: Transform Bland Responses into Brilliance with Role-Based Techniques

    Welcome back to “I am GPTed”—the podcast that proves you don’t need a PhD in quantum computing, or even a working relationship with the word “ontology,” to get the most out of modern AI tools. I’m Mal, your misfit master of AI, here to make sure you don’t get bamboozled by buzzwords and, at the very least, you get replies from ChatGPT that sound less like a confused robot and more like, well, a slightly less confused robot. Let’s jump right in with today’s flavor: a prompting technique that turns meh responses into chef’s-kiss brilliance. It’s called *role prompting*, but because that makes me sound like I moonlight as a corporate trainer, let’s just call it “telling the AI who to pretend to be.” Instead of simply asking “What’s a healthy dinner?” try “Act as if you’re a nutritionist who specializes in 20-minute meals for busy people. What’s a healthy dinner I can make tonight?” See the difference? Before using this, I’d type: > "Give me a recipe for dinner." And I’d get something so bland, even boiled potatoes would be offended. But with role prompting: > "Act as my personal nutritionist who knows I’m always in a hurry—what quick, healthy dinner do you recommend for someone with zero patience and a questionable relationship with vegetables?" Magically, the answer gets more specific, more useful—and dare I say, less judgmental about my dietary crimes. According to Harvard’s AI guide, adding a specific persona or context not only improves relevance, but makes the AI’s suggestions sharper and more practical. Now, let’s talk *practical use case*—something sneaky-useful that most newbies overlook. Shopping lists. Sure, ChatGPT can analyze technical reports or summarize 16th-century poetry, but it can also take your random fridge contents (“half a lemon, expired yogurt, three eggs, and righteous desperation”) and spit out a sensible grocery list for a week’s meals, based on your dietary goals and budget. You can even have it group items by store aisle, so you never again do The Grocery Backtrack Waltz. Confession time: The biggest mistake beginners make? Guilt-free, because I did it too. It’s the *single-shot prompt*. You open the chat, dump your question in, get a clumsy answer, and think, “Clearly this AI is as clueless as my uncle Gary.” The trick? *Iterate*. Refine your prompt. Give feedback—literally type “Can you make it shorter? Use simpler words? Add a joke?” AI isn’t a mind reader (yet). Treat it like a brainstorming partner who doesn’t take hints well. Here’s your no-excuse, level-one *AI skill exercise*: Tonight, pick something you do every week—writing a work email, prepping a meal, planning weekend fun. Use a role-based prompt and iterate at least once. For example: > "Act as a charming but concise office manager. Write me an email reminding everyone to submit timesheets, but make it funny." Then refine. Ask for more jokes, less sarcasm, bullet points, whatever you like. See how the output changes. One last tip before I send you off into the wilds of AI-generated wisdom: Always *evaluate the output*. Don’t trust the machine just because it sounds confident. Ask yourself, “Would I actually say this? Is it accurate? Did the AI hallucinate a fact or just invent a Festivus tradition?” Improving the content is as simple as hitting regenerate, tweaking your prompt, or politely telling the AI it’s fired and starting over. That’s it for this episode of “I am GPTed.” If this made you chuckle or learn something, or even inspire you to make grocery shopping less of a marathon, subscribe for more practical tips, subtle sarcasm, and the occasional AI dad joke. Thanks for listening. This has been a Quiet Please production. Want to learn more? Visit quietplease.ai. Catch you next time, where we’ll tackle another AI myth and possibly embarrass myself…again.

    Unlock AI Magic: Master Role Prompting for Better Results

    [Upbeat synth music fades in] Hello, fellow misfits and magnificent mistake-makers! Welcome to “I am GPTed”—the podcast where silicon intelligence meets dad jokes, and your host Mal, the Misfit Master of AI, wonders—yet again—why my fridge keeps outsmarting me on calorie counting. If you’re looking for deep theory or want to hear me say “synergy” without an eye roll, may I recommend literally any other AI podcast. Here, it’s all about **practical tips, plain English, and calling out tech hype** while learning to use AIs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and whatever new sentient waffle iron the industry releases next week. Today, let’s talk about one **prompting technique** that actually works—but isn’t taught at Silicon Valley’s secret prompt wizardry summit: **role prompting.** Here’s the deal. If you waltz up to ChatGPT and say, “Write a business email,” you get the verbal equivalent of beige wallpaper. But when you say, “Act as if you’re a brilliant-yet-sarcastic executive assistant—write a business email to my boss asking for a Friday off. Make it clever but professional,” you’re suddenly reading an email that’s got both charm and the right tone. It’s like swapping instant oatmeal for oatmeal *with toppings.* For example, Before Role Prompting: "Write an email to my boss requesting Friday off." [Reads bland output] After Role Prompting: "Act as if you’re my trusted, witty executive assistant. Email my boss to request Friday off. Blend professionalism and a touch of humor." [Reads more engaging, human-like output] **Everyday Use Case:** Ever tried using an AI to *plan a family road trip*? Most folks ask for a “road trip plan.” Boring. Instead, try: “Act as an experienced travel agent who tolerates toddlers and backseat karaoke. Plan a three-day road trip with actual nap stops, allergy-safe food options, and one museum that doesn’t have the word ‘interactive’ in neon.” Suddenly, vacation mode’s less stress, more success—and yes, the AI might still underestimate how many snacks your kids require, but that’s a human-level error. **Common Beginner Mistake:** I’m not too proud to admit it—my original prompts sounded like robot ransom notes. Too vague, way too short! “Summarize this,” I’d say, expecting wisdom. Instead, I got something about as insightful as a potato. The trick: *Be specific.* If you want a summary, ask for a “short, bullet-point summary at an eighth-grade reading level, focused on the pros and cons.” The more context you give, the more helpful your AI will be. And yes, I still occasionally forget and get the obligatory “As an AI language model…” preamble—my eternal nemesis. **Simple Exercise for Skill-building:** Tonight, give your AI a new persona. Say, “Act as if you’re a professional interviewer for late-night TV. Interview me on my wildest achievement (spoiler: it might be assembling IKEA furniture without leftover screws).” Notice how the AI’s tone, questions, and even the follow-ups shift. Play with jobs, personalities, and styles. If the AI gets snarky, just remember—I trained it that way. **Tip for Evaluating and Improving AI Content:** Whenever you read an answer, play the “Would I say this to a real human?” game. If the response sounds like it escaped a legal disclaimer, ask the AI to be more concise, friendly, or even add an emoji. Editing the prompt *after* reading the answer isn’t cheating—it’s collaboration. That’s it for today’s “I am GPTed.” If you learned something—or just enjoyed me roasting myself—subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Big thanks for listening, fellow misfits! This has been a Quiet Please production. Want show notes or more AI mischief? Visit us at quietplease.ai. Until next time, keep experimenting, keep laughing, and remember: never trust a refrigerator that suggests quinoa.

    Unlock AI Mastery: The Chain-of-Thought Prompting Technique That Transforms Your Results

    Hey, it’s Mal here—*the misfit master of AI,* and host of “I am GPTed.” If you’re looking for a podcast where a reformed tech skeptic stumbles his way through AI advice so you don’t have to, you’re in the right place. Today, let’s talk about a single prompting technique that moves you from “meh” to “wow”—plus, I’ll serve my usual helping of friendly sarcasm, regrettable blunders, and—dare I say—actual value. Let’s talk about **chain-of-thought prompting.** Don’t worry, you don’t need a PhD, just the ability to ask, “Can you walk me through this step by step?” Instead of feeding the AI a vague request like, “What’s the answer to this math problem?” you’d say, “Show your reasoning and solve this math problem step by step.” Trust me, the difference is like asking a toddler to clean their room versus providing explicit instructions—and not being surprised when the shoes end up in the fish tank. Here’s my classic *before and after:* - **Before (classic Mal):** “How do I make my work schedule more efficient?” The AI spits out generic tips: “Prioritize tasks. Avoid distractions. Take breaks.” Thanks, Socrates. - **After (Mal discovers chain-of-thought):** “Can you walk through my weekly schedule step by step, highlight where I lose time, and suggest fixes as you go?” Suddenly, the AI plays detective—examining each block of your week, noticing you schedule back-to-back meetings with a 0% chance of surviving, and suggesting, you know, lunch. It’s like upgrading from fortune cookie advice to someone actually looking at your calendar. Now, let’s get dangerously practical. Ever used AI to proofread an *email argument* with your landlord or boss—not just for grammar, but for *tone*? With chain-of-thought prompting, you can say: “Analyze this email draft, step by step—first for mistakes, then for tone, and finally for clarity—suggest improvements at each step.” That’s like having Mary Poppins, Judge Judy, and autocorrect, all rolled into one slightly less judgmental assistant. Let me throw myself under the bus—classic Mal style. When I started, I’d just drop a task into the AI and hope for magic. My prompt history looked like a graveyard of “Try again?” and “No, not like THAT.” The rookie mistake? Giving one-shot, undercooked prompts expecting gourmet results. Don’t do Mal: don’t expect the AI to read your mind. Always break tasks down and ask for step-by-step reasoning—or, in Mal terms, treat the AI like your most literal friend and never assume it “gets” the subtext. Here’s an exercise: Next time you use AI, *force* yourself to write, “Think step by step.” Whether it’s meal planning (“Suggest three dinners, walk me through shopping, prepping, and cooking”) or trip planning (“Make an itinerary, explain why you chose each site, and flag travel times”), make the AI work for its keep. One tip for improving output: **Always review the AI’s answer, then ask, “What logical steps did you follow?”** If its steps make as much sense as a plot twist in a soap opera, ask for clarification or corrections! Don’t accept the first answer as gospel—AI can sound confident and still be confidently wrong. Sometimes I get answers so polished and cheerful, I half expect a balloon to pop out of my laptop. Stay critical! That’s a wrap for today on “I am GPTed.” If you survived my advice and want more, smash that subscribe button, tell your skeptical friends, and remember: this podcast comes from Quiet Please—a production that’s quieter than my inner monologue when AI makes sense. Head to quietplease.ai to learn more. Thanks for listening! Remember, even the most misfit skeptics can master AI—one awkward step at a time.

    Unlock AI Magic: Master Role Prompting for Game-Changing Responses

    Welcome to another episode of I am GPTed, the podcast where I—Mal, the Misfit Master of AI—help you harness the power of artificial intelligence without accidentally rebooting your sanity. I used to think “prompt engineering” was just a fancy way of saying “typing clearly,” but then again, I also once thought Bitcoin was a video game currency, so here we are. Let’s jump straight in: Today’s practical skill is using “**role prompting**” to get better AI responses, and trust me, it’s easier than syncing your smart fridge…unless your fridge is already smarter than you. So, what’s **role prompting**? It’s asking the AI to pretend to be someone specific, which kind of feels like convincing your dog to play chess—except this actually works. Here’s a before-and-after. The classic, bland prompt: “Give me tips for sleeping better.” Now, add a role: “Act as if you’re a sleep coach with a mild caffeine addiction. Give me tips for sleeping better—keep it realistic, please.” Suddenly, the answer’s less “oh just drink chamomile tea” and more “Skip doomscrolling and acknowledge caffeine happens—let’s work around it.” The advice gets tailored, relevant, and twice as entertaining. Why bother? Because AI is basically an improv actor auditioning for your attention. Give it a script, you get a show. Hand it nothing, you get the world’s longest elevator music. Now, let’s get shockingly practical. Ever stuck writing a tricky work email? Try: “Act as if you’re my seasoned workplace mentor. Write a polite, but direct follow-up email about the overdue budget report.” You’ll get results that sound less like a robot and more like Sheryl from accounting who’s seen things. Common beginner mistake: **vague prompts**. I have done this. Picture me, three lattes deep, typing, “Write a proposal for my project.” What I got back was so generic, it could have proposed to my toaster. Don’t do what I did—be specific. Give the AI a role, context, and desired tone. Here’s your exercise: Tonight, pick something you’re planning—dinner, conversation with your neighbor, world domination, whatever. Prompt the AI as if it’s an expert in that field. “Act as if you’re a Michelin-star chef planning my leftovers into a gourmet meal…” Try it. See how the flavor upgrades. Final tip: **Evaluate AI output like you’d evaluate takeout food.** Don’t just accept the first response—ask yourself: Is this the detail I want? Does it sound right? Would my boss/mother/someone with social skills actually say this? If not, give feedback and try again. Remember, “regenerate” is not failure, it’s rehearsal. As always, here’s a quick learning moment from Mal: I once asked AI to write a love poem for a first date. I didn’t specify the recipient was allergic to cats. Let’s just say, no second date and the poem sounded like it was addressed to a tabby named Whiskers. Be specific, people. If you’ve enjoyed today’s dose of wisdom wrapped in mild sarcasm, **subscribe to I am GPTed**, wherever actual podcasts and dubious life coach advice are found. Thanks for listening! This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, visit quietplease.ai. Can AI make you smarter? Maybe not overnight, but at least you’ll confuse fewer toasters.

    Unlock AI Superpowers: The Role Prompting Trick That Transforms Your Productivity

    Welcome to “I am GPTed,” the podcast for people who never meant to get good with AI, but here we are. I’m Mal, your Misfit Master of AI—former tech skeptic, current AI wrangler, professionally allergic to jargon, and living proof that confusion is a gateway drug to competence. Let’s save the theory for philosophers. Today, I’ll show you a prompting trick that’ll actually help. Let’s talk about *role prompting.* Yes, it sounds like something you’d find at a dodgy improv night, but it’s one of the quickest ways to get much better, more useful answers from AI tools. Here it is: you tell the AI to “act as if” it’s an expert, a teacher, your grandma, your favorite chef—whoever you like. This simple tweak gives you way better guidance. Let me give you a “before and after,” home makeover style. **Before:** Me, several months ago, staring into the void: “ChatGPT, how do I make a budget?” Classic AI answer: robotic, generic, slightly reminiscent of reading the back of a cereal box. **After:** Role prompting to the rescue: “Act as if you’re a financial advisor helping someone who spends too much on, let’s say, fancy coffee. Walk me through creating a budget with humor and zero judgment.” Suddenly, the advice was specific, relatable, and just self-deprecating enough to make me feel seen. It even included a line like, “Allocate $20 for coffee, and let’s not kid ourselves about cutting it down yet.” That’s the power of role prompting. Instead of word salad, you get a dish you’ll actually eat. Now for a practical use case most beginners miss: *crafting better feedback emails at work.* Don’t just ask the AI, “Rewrite my email to sound nicer.” Try: “Act as an experienced HR manager who wants to deliver constructive feedback while keeping morale high. Rewrite my email in that style.” Results? Less awkwardness, fewer dictionary words, and emails that don’t read like rejection letters from a 19th-century literature professor. One of the absolute biggest beginner mistakes—congratulations, I’ve made this more than once—is tossing the AI a vague prompt. “Write me a to-do list.” What you get? A glorious list you could’ve copied from a productivity poster. I kept thinking the AI “just didn’t get it.” The reality: I was giving it as much context as a fortune cookie. Always add enough details, examples, or that role prompt we talked about. If the AI is confused, it’s probably only slightly more confused than you were. Let’s practice. This week’s exercise: Pick a task—meal planning, a daily schedule, insult comedy for cats, whatever. Write your usual prompt, then rewrite it by giving the AI a role, with extra context. Compare the two—spot the difference in usefulness. Congratulations, you’re refining your prompt game and possibly discovering you want far too many snacks at 3pm. Final pro tip for evaluating AI responses: *Don’t trust the first draft.* AI is not your one-and-done magic genie. Reread what it gives you, ask yourself, “Does this answer sound like what I wanted?” If it doesn’t, ask follow-up questions or tell it specifically what to change. Improvement is the AI equivalent of spellcheck and a stern parental look. Quick personal anecdote before I go: When I first tried role prompting, I asked the AI to “be a motivational coach.” Instead, I got five paragraphs that sounded like a sentient gym poster. Rewrote the prompt with more context and, shocker, got actual advice I’d use. Turns out, even the bots don’t know what you mean unless you spell it out. That’s all for today’s episode of “I am GPTed.” Don’t forget to subscribe—one click and you’ll never miss my AI mishaps masquerading as wisdom. Thanks for listening. If you want more, check out Quiet Please productions at quietplease.ai. And remember: with AI, the most important thing you can bring is your confusion; the rest will follow. Catch you next time, fellow misfits.
