Thinking with AI — How a Simple Question Can Change Your Whole Workflow
Last night, I was working on something.
It wasn’t work related, but it was related to how I use AI for work.
I was making a noir-themed meme for my dog’s Instagram. It’s silly and cute, but still needed refinement if I wanted engagement.
I kept trying to get ChatGPT to give me what I wanted, but something felt off.
Then I realized the problem wasn’t the AI.
I had never actually defined what “noir” meant. The AI was giving me good outputs, but I couldn’t recognize it because I hadn’t made the connection I needed between the style and the content.
So I stopped writing prompts for the AI and asked a different question:
“What exactly is noir?”
That question wasn’t an AI prompt.
It was a thinking prompt… for me.
Once I understood what noir really is, everything got easier and I was no longer frustrated by results that didn’t match my vision.
The AI didn’t need to guess anymore because I was clear. I now had direction.
It sounds simple, but this is where a lot of people get stuck with AI.
If you don’t fully understand what you’re working on, the AI can’t either.
AI doesn’t make the final decisions. You do.
So before you ask for better prompts, make sure you have a full understanding.
That’s how you stay in control.
👉 Have you ever realized mid-prompt that you didn’t actually know what you were asking for? How did you remedy it?
