    **Podcast Script: "I Am GPTed" – Episode: "Prompt Like a Pro, Without the Hype"**

    *[Upbeat, quirky intro music fades in – think glitchy synths with a misfit vibe. Music swells for 10 seconds, then fades under voice.]*

    Hey, misfits and AI newbies, welcome to **I Am GPTed**, where I, Mal – your Misfit Master of AI – dish out practical tips for wrangling ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and whatever LLM the tech bros dream up next. No PhD required, just plain talk and a dash of sarcasm for the soul. I'm allergic to jargon, promise. Today: supercharge your prompts, a sneaky everyday hack, my epic fail confession, a quick practice drill, and how to spot AI BS. Let's dive in before I bore myself.

    First up, one prompting trick that flips meh responses into gold: **role-playing**. Tell the AI to act like an expert in a specific role. It's like hiring a chef instead of yelling "cook something" at your fridge.

    Before example – my lazy prompt: "Give diet tips." Yawn. AI spits generic fluff: eat veggies, drink water. Useless for a couch potato like me.

    After: "Act as a nutritionist for sedentary folks with lactose intolerance. Suggest a weekly meal plan." Boom – tailored recipes with almond milk swaps and zero gym guilt. Works on any AI; I use it daily to make Grok sound like a witty therapist. Tech hype says it's "prompt engineering magic," but nah, it's just bossing the bot around politely.

    Next, a practical use case you novices miss: **job hunting cover letters**. Don't stare at a blank page. Prompt: "Write a cover letter for a junior marketer role at a coffee shop chain. I'm passionate about social media, have two years barista experience, and crushed Instagram for my last gig." Swap in your deets – instant pro letter. Beats sweating over templates while the job goes to Chad with Canva skills. Everyday win for work or side hustles.

    Now, common beginner mistake – and yeah, I did this for months: **vague prompts**. "Help me with this" gets garbage. I once asked Claude "fix my email" and got a novel-length rewrite nobody wanted. Avoid it by adding specifics: goal, audience, tone, length. Like, "Rewrite this sales email for busy parents, make it fun and under 100 words." Boom, focused firepower. Admit it, Mal – you're still learning too.

    Quick exercise to level up: Grab Gemini or ChatGPT. Prompt: "Act as a travel agent. Plan a budget weekend in [your city] for two foodies under $200." Tweak it twice – add "vegetarian" then "rainy weather." See how details sharpen it? Do this weekly; it's like AI gym reps for your brain.

    Last tip: Evaluating AI output? **Check for hallucinations and logic gaps**. Read aloud – does it flow like human talk? Fact-check two claims online. If it's hype-y or off-topic, reprompt: "Revise this for accuracy, cut fluff, add sources." Iterate till it's solid. No more sharing robo-nonsense.

    That's your misfit toolkit – go prompt like you mean it. If this helped, smash subscribe wherever you pod. Thanks for listening, you legends. This has been a Quiet Please production – head to quietplease.ai for more. Catch you next time!

  • Master AI Prompting: Stop Asking Like a Robot and Get Better Results

    Master AI Prompting: Stop Asking Like a Robot and Get Better Results
    Jan 12 2026
    # "I Am GPTed" - Episode: "Stop Asking Like a Robot"

    **[INTRO MUSIC: Upbeat, slightly quirky tech vibe - 0:15]**

    Hey, it's Mal—The Misfit Master of AI, and welcome back to "I Am GPTed," the podcast where we talk to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and basically every AI that'll listen to us ramble. Today's episode: "Stop Asking Like a Robot." Because apparently, the way you phrase things actually matters. Who knew, right? Me. I knew. After face-planting into bad prompts about a thousand times.

    **[MUSIC FADES]**

    Let's start with something that changed the game for me: **context prompting**. It's the difference between asking an AI to do your laundry and actually telling it how, when, and why.

    Here's the before: "Give me a workout routine."

    Pretty vague, right? You'll get some generic burpee-fest that might be designed for a 25-year-old CrossFit enthusiast, not your actual life. Now, the after: "I have 20 minutes three times a week, I work at a desk, my knees aren't great, and I just want to not feel like a potato. What should I do?"

    Boom. Suddenly the AI understands your actual world. It's like the difference between asking for directions versus telling someone you can't handle hills and need coffee shops along the way.

    **[TRANSITION]**

    Here's something most people don't realize: AI is *stupid good* at meal planning when you actually need it. Not the Instagram salad bowl stuff—I mean "I have these random ingredients, I'm tired, and I need to eat in 15 minutes." Tell ChatGPT your constraints, and it'll actually solve your problem instead of suggesting you make sourdough from scratch.

    **[TRANSITION]**

    Now, the biggest beginner mistake I see—and I've absolutely done this—is treating AI like a vending machine. You drop in a question and expect a perfect answer. But here's the thing: AI is more like a coworker who needs clear direction. You wouldn't ask your colleague "fix the project." You'd say "we need X, Y, and Z by Thursday because of A reason, and here's what we've tried."

    I learned this the hard way when I asked Claude to "improve my writing." Got back something technically correct but completely soulless. Then I reframed it: "Make this punchy and sarcastic, like I'm talking to someone smarter than me but not pretending to be." Night and day difference.

    **[TRANSITION]**

    Let's practice something right now—try this exercise when you're done listening: Take something you actually need help with. Write your first prompt. Then rewrite it three times, adding one more constraint each time. Deadline. Audience. Format. Tone. Notice how the answers get *uselessly better*? That's iteration, and it's the actual secret sauce.

    **[TRANSITION]**

    Last thing: after the AI gives you something, don't just copy-paste it into your life. Read it. Ask yourself: Does this *actually* sound like me? Is it solving my real problem or the problem the AI *thought* I had? Edit it. Make it yours. The AI did 70 percent of the heavy lifting—you're just making sure it's not nonsense.

  • Unlock AI Superpowers: Master Prompting Techniques That Transform Robotic Responses

    Unlock AI Superpowers: Master Prompting Techniques That Transform Robotic Responses
    Jan 10 2026
    [Theme music fades in, then under]

    You’re listening to “I Am GPTed,” the show where we take artificial intelligence, remove the artificial confidence, and see what’s actually useful underneath.

    I’m Mal, the Misfit Master of AI. I break this stuff down in plain English, with just enough sarcasm to keep us all awake.

    Today we’re talking about one simple prompting technique that makes every AI you use—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, whatever—instantly less useless: **Show, then Tell.**

    Most people just *tell* the AI what they want. Pros **show an example first**, then tell it what to do.

    Here’s the “before” prompt:

    > “Write a professional email to a client about a project delay.”

    The AI will spit out something that sounds like it ate a corporate handbook and is now deeply ashamed of itself.

    Now the “after” prompt using Show, then Tell:

    > “Here’s an example of the tone and style I like:
    > ‘Hey Sarah, quick heads up on the timeline. We’ve hit a snag, but here’s what we’re doing about it…’
    >
    > Using that same friendly, honest tone, write an email to a client about a one-week project delay because a key supplier missed their deadline. Keep it under 150 words.”

    Same task, totally different output. You gave:
    - an **example**
    - the **tone**
    - the **reason**
    - a **word limit**

    You showed, then told. The AI finally has some guardrails and can stop cosplaying as a 1990s fax machine.

    Let’s move to a practical use case you probably haven’t tried: **using AI as your “meeting translator.”**

    Next time you get a messy meeting transcript or a wall-of-text notes doc, paste it into your AI and say:

    > “You are my meeting translator.
    > 1) Summarize the discussion in 5 bullet points.
    > 2) List action items with owner and due date.
    > 3) Rewrite any vague tasks so a new hire would understand them.”

    Suddenly that 60‑minute chaos call becomes a clear to‑do list. No MBA required. No buzzwords harmed.

    Now, a common beginner mistake—one I absolutely made: **asking once, accepting whatever comes out.**

    I used to type a vague prompt, get a “meh” answer, and think, “Guess AI just isn’t that good.”
    No, Mal. **You** just weren’t that good.

    Treat the first answer as a **rough draft, not a verdict.** Follow up with:

    - “Make this shorter and more direct.”
    - “Add two concrete examples.”
    - “Rewrite this for a 12‑year‑old.”
    - “Give me three alternative versions with different tones.”

    The magic isn’t in the first prompt. It’s in the *back‑and‑forth*.

    Here’s a simple exercise to build that skill:

    1. Pick one small task: a text, email, social post, or explanation.
    2. Ask the AI to do it in your default lazy way.
    3. Then force yourself to ask **three follow‑up prompts**:
    - one to change tone
    - one to change length
    - one to add or remove detail
    4. Compare all four versions and pick the best parts.

    Do that daily for a week and you’ll be better than 90% of people using these tools. Low bar, yes. Still true.

    Finally, how do you **evaluate and improve** AI content so you’re not just copy‑pasting robot noise?

    Use this quick checklist:

    - **Clear?** Can a non‑expert understand it on the first read? If not: “Simplify this, remove jargon.”
    - **Concrete?** Does it use examples, steps, or specifics? If not: “Add 2–3 practical examples.”
    - **Correct?** Sense‑check facts against your own knowledge or a quick search. If shaky: “List your assumptions and uncertainties.”
    - **Concise?** If it feels like a TED Talk that won’t end: “Cut this by 50% without losing key points.”

    You’re not just consuming AI output—you’re **editing** it. Think of the AI as the overeager intern, and you’re the one with the red pen.

    Alright, that’s it for today on “I Am GPTed.”

    If this helped you wrangle your favorite AI into something vaguely useful, **subscribe to the podcast** so you don’t miss future episodes.
