Prompting is often treated like a hack, a clever phrase that unlocks better answers.But this framing misses the point entirely. Prompting is not about manipulating AI. It is about making our thinking explicit. As AI becomes embedded in everyday work, prompting reveals itself as a core cognitive skill. It surfaces how clearly we understand a problem, how well we communicate intent, and how thoughtfully we reason through uncertainty. ---------- WHY PROMPTING IS MISUNDERSTOOD ---------- Many people approach prompting as a technical exercise. They look for formulas, templates, or magic words that guarantee better outputs. This mindset assumes the tool is the problem and the solution lies in learning how to control it. This leads to shallow engagement. When results disappoint, the response is often to tweak wording rather than examine assumptions. The prompt becomes a workaround instead of a reflection. AI does not reward clever phrasing nearly as much as it rewards clear thinking. When the underlying intent is vague, no amount of prompt engineering can fully compensate. Prompting feels difficult not because it is complex, but because it requires us to slow down and articulate what we actually mean. ---------- PROMPTING MAKES THINKING VISIBLE ---------- A good prompt externalizes thought. It forces us to define goals, constraints, context, and success criteria. In doing so, it exposes gaps that were previously hidden in our heads. When we struggle to write a prompt, it is often because we are unclear ourselves. The friction we feel is not with AI, but with our own ambiguity. This is why prompting can feel uncomfortable at first. It removes the illusion of understanding. AI reflects back exactly what we put in, without filling in missing logic on our behalf. Over time, this becomes a strength. Prompting trains precision. It sharpens reasoning. It turns vague ideas into structured inputs. ---------- FROM COMMANDS TO COLLABORATION ---------- Another common mistake is treating prompts as commands. Do this. Generate that. Fix this. While AI can respond to instructions, this approach limits its usefulness.

I’ve been getting pretty deep into AI, and was about to announce an AI class, when I saw the AI Advantage marketing. Brilliant! Each step of the funnel was well thought out. From the ads and initial landing page. The freemium entry point, and first confirmation page. To the $1 dollar initial commitment, then the $38 upsell. Wasn’t there over 100,000 participants? Those kind of results say it all. There were, of course, the big names, but it was the process that was most impressive to me. My question is how much did AI analysis help with the development of the marketing flow, and were there any automations that were a part of the onboarding? Was it used in the creative? Scheduling social posts? Responding to form submissions? Being able to put the entire AI Advantage marketing sequence into an automated tool would be awesome.

What do you think of it? I’ve been playing around with it and wondered what others thought of it?

I’m curious: do you use polite language like “please” and “thank you” when communicating with AI tools? Playful

my name is Othmane. I am new to skool very interested in the leverage of AI what the 3 must have tools that's crusial to grow my community besides ChatGPT⁉️⁉️
