Sometimes a useful place to start with AI is something as ordinary as dinner. Try this: “I have [ingredients] and about [time] to cook. Suggest three simple dinner options using what I already have. Keep cleanup minimal and ask before adding ingredients to a shopping list.” Pick what actually sounds good and adjust it for your household. You’re still the one who knows what everyone will eat 😊 What’s one ingredient in your fridge that needs using?

Ever asked AI to help you write something and thought, “Well, I would never say that”? Try giving it your own rough words first, even if they're a little messy. Then ask: “Help me make this clearer while keeping my tone and meaning. Keep the phrases that sound like me. Don't add new ideas or make it overly polished.” Read it out loud afterward. If a sentence feels strange coming out of your mouth, change it. You get the final say. Once you get it how you like it, take it one step further: “Turn what we've worked out into a reusable writing guide. Include my tone, what to avoid, and this finished version as an example. Add a prompt I can reuse next time.” Save that guide as a template, or turn it into a skill if your AI tool supports skills. Now you have something to bring into your next writing session without starting from scratch 😊 What's one word or phrase you'd happily ban from AI writing? 😂
