  • Master AI Interactions: Unlock Powerful Prompting Techniques with Productivity Hacks

    Master AI Interactions: Unlock Powerful Prompting Techniques with Productivity Hacks
    Dec 5 2025
    Welcome to “I Am GPTed,” the show where you learn to boss AI around… kindly.
    I’m Mal, the Misfit Master of AI, here to help you get better answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and whatever shiny model launches while you’re still figuring out the last one.

    ## One simple prompting technique

    Today’s technique is: give the AI a role and a clear job.
    Instead of saying, “Help me write a resume,” try: “You are a friendly career coach. Write a one-page resume for a junior marketer changing careers from retail. Use simple language and short bullet points.”

    Before: “Write a resume.”
    After: “You are a friendly career coach. Write a one-page resume for a junior marketer changing careers from retail. Use simple language, short bullets, and highlight customer-facing skills.”
    Same human, same keyboard, wildly better output.

    ## A practical use case you’re missing

    Here’s a use case most beginners skip: using AI as a weekly planning assistant.
    You can paste in your messy to‑do list, your meetings, and your goals, then say, “Act as my no‑nonsense productivity coach. Turn this chaos into a realistic weekly schedule, by day, with time estimates, and flag anything I should probably say no to.”

    Suddenly your half‑baked notes become a plan: priorities, time blocks, and even polite email wording to decline things.
    It’s like having a project manager who never rolls their eyes… at least not out loud.

    ## A common beginner mistake

    A classic mistake: treating AI like a vending machine instead of a collaborator.
    People type one vague question, hate the answer, and declare, “This thing sucks,” as if they didn’t just ask it the equivalent of “Do my life please.”

    Confession: Mal did this too.
    The fix is to follow up.
    Ask it to “Try again with simpler language,” or “Give me three shorter options,” or “Ask me three questions to make this better.”
    Good AI use is less magic spell, more back‑and‑forth conversation.

    ## A simple practice exercise

    Here’s a quick exercise to build your skills: the “three‑round refinement.”
    Pick one small task: an email, a caption, a summary, a lesson plan.

    Round 1: Ask for a basic version.
    Round 2: Tell it what you liked and didn’t like, and ask for a revision.
    Round 3: Ask it to shorten, clarify, or change the tone.

    The goal isn’t perfection.
    The goal is to get used to shaping the answer, instead of passively accepting the first thing it spits out.

    ## How to judge and improve AI output

    When the AI gives you something, run it through three quick checks:
    1) Is it accurate enough for the stakes?
    2) Is it clear enough for a tired human to understand?
    3) Does it sound like something you would actually say?

    Then ask the model to help you fix it:
    “Rewrite this in my voice: more casual, less corporate.”
    “Highlight any claims I should fact‑check.”
    “Give me a shorter version for someone who will skim.”
    You’re not just getting answers; you’re co‑editing them.

    That’s it for today’s episode of “I Am GPTed” with Mal, your slightly sarcastic tour guide through the AI jungle.

  • Unlock AI Magic: The Role-Playing Prompt Technique That Transforms Your Results

    Unlock AI Magic: The Role-Playing Prompt Technique That Transforms Your Results
    Dec 3 2025
    # I Am GPTed - Episode Script

    **[INTRO MUSIC: Upbeat, slightly irreverent tech vibe fades under]**

    **MAL:**
    Hey, I'm Mal, your Misfit Master of AI, and welcome to "I Am GPTed"—the show where we make artificial intelligence actually useful instead of just impressive at parties. Today, we're talking about the one prompting trick that'll make your AI actually listen to you like you're paying it.

    **[MUSIC FADES]**

    ## The Game-Changing Technique: Role-Playing

    So here's the thing. Most people treat AI like a vending machine. You drop in a question, and hope something edible comes out. But what if I told you there's a dead-simple way to completely transform what you get back?

    It's called **role-playing**, and no, we're not getting you a cape.

    Here's the before version—the sad version—the version I used for approximately six months like an absolute amateur:

    **BEFORE:** "Write me a marketing email for my coffee shop."

    You get something generic. Corporate. Boring. Like watching paint dry while someone explains cryptocurrency.

    **AFTER:** "You are a charismatic barista who genuinely loves connecting with customers. Write a marketing email for my coffee shop that sounds like you're texting a friend about your favorite hangout spot."

    Suddenly? You get personality. Voice. Something that actually sounds like a human wrote it instead of a robot having an existential crisis.

    The magic here is that you're not just asking the AI to do something. You're giving it permission to adopt a perspective. It's like the difference between asking a friend "what should I say?" versus "what would your grandma say about this?"

    ## Real-World Gold: Meal Planning for Your Brain

    But here's where this gets genuinely useful. Let me give you something most people miss entirely.

    You can use this exact same trick for meal planning. I know, thrilling. But stick with me.

    Ask your AI: "You're a nutritionist who specializes in meals for people who work 10-hour days and have zero energy to think. Give me five meal prep ideas for this week." Suddenly you get practical suggestions that account for actual human exhaustion, not just optimal macros.

    That's prompting working for your *life*, not just your LinkedIn posts.

    ## The Rookie Mistake (I Made This)

    Here's the confession: I spent weeks frustrated with AI because I was too vague. I'd ask Claude something like "help me understand marketing" and get back a dissertation. I needed a thesis, not a textbook.

    The fix? **Specificity is free.** Tell it your experience level. Tell it your exact goal. Tell it you want it in three paragraphs, not War and Peace.

    Beginners think being specific limits creativity. It doesn't. It focuses it. It's like the difference between "draw something" and "draw a cat wearing sunglasses on a skateboard." The second one is better, obviously.

    ## Your Practice Exercise

    Here's what you're doing this week: Take something you actually need—a cover letter, a product description, a complaint email you're too angry to write yourself—and try three different role-playing prompts. Compare the results. You'll feel the difference immediately.

    ## The Quality Check

    After your AI generates something, ask yourself: Does this sound like how I actually talk? Would I send this to someone who matters? If the answer's no, give the AI feedback. "That's too formal" or "make it snarkier" or "this reads like a robot's diary."

    AI improves with direction, just like everyone else.

    Mastering AI Interactions: Unlock Powerful Role-Playing Prompts for Smarter Results

    # I Am GPTed: The Art of Asking Better Questions

    **[INTRO MUSIC: Upbeat, slightly quirky tech soundtrack fades in]**

    **MAL:** Hey everyone, it's Mal—your friendly neighborhood AI enthusiast who still hasn't figured out how to use Siri correctly. Welcome back to "I Am GPTed," where we prove that you don't need to be a computer scientist to get computers to do awesome stuff for you.

    Today, we're tackling something that'll genuinely change how you interact with AI. We're talking about **role-playing prompts**—and no, this isn't about pretending you're a wizard. Though honestly, if that gets you better results, go for it.

    **[TRANSITION SOUND: Quick notification ding]**

    ## The Game-Changer: Role-Playing Prompts

    Here's the thing about AI: it's like talking to the world's most knowledgeable person who's also incredibly literal. If you ask vaguely, you get vague answers. If you ask like you're talking to a specific expert? Magic happens.

    **Before I knew this trick:**
    "Explain machine learning."

    **After I got smart about it:**
    "You're a seasoned data scientist explaining machine learning to someone at a dinner party. Keep it conversational, skip the math, and use one really good analogy."

    Suddenly, my AI doesn't sound like a Wikipedia article. It sounds like an actual human who knows their stuff.

    ## Where This Actually Matters in Real Life

    Let's say you're writing performance reviews for your team—something most managers avoid like root canals. Instead of staring at a blank screen, try this: "You're an empathetic HR professional who's seen thousands of reviews. Help me write feedback that's honest, specific, and actually motivates improvement."

    Boom. Different output entirely.

    **[TRANSITION: Brief pause]**

    ## The Mistake I Made (And You Probably Will Too)

    Here's me being vulnerable: I used to treat AI like a magic 8-ball. Ask a question, get an answer, done. Then I'd complain when it was useless.

    The beginner mistake? **Assuming the first response is final.** It's not. AI outputs are like rough drafts. They need refinement, pushback, and iteration. You're not being "difficult" by asking follow-up questions—you're actually using the tool correctly.

    Start viewing yourself as a collaborator, not a customer. Ask for specifics. Ask why. Ask again differently.

    ## Your Practice Exercise (Yes, Really Do This)

    Spend ten minutes right now:

    1. Pick something you actually need help with—not a test. A real task.
    2. Write one prompt the "lazy way"
    3. Write the same prompt with a specific role: "Act as [specific expert]. Keep the tone [specific style]. The output format should be [specific format]."
    4. Compare the results

    You'll see the difference immediately. Then you'll feel smarter. Then you'll wonder why nobody explains this stuff in plain English from the start.

    ## Making Sense of What You Get Back

    Here's my golden rule: **AI content needs an editor.** Always. Check for accuracy, tone, and whether it actually solves your problem. Does it sound like you? Probably not yet. Does it have useful bones? Hopefully.

    Copy-paste is for people who haven't thought about what they're doing.

    **[OUTRO MUSIC BEGINS TO SWELL]**

    **MAL:** That's what we've got for you this week on "I Am GPTed." Remember to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes where we figure out AI together—mistakes and all.

    Thanks for listening, everyone.

    **Do this:** Head over to **quiet please dot ai** to learn more and to see if there's something actually useful waiting for you there.

    This has been a Quiet Please production.

    Now go forth and prompt responsibly.
