KEY TAKEAWAYS
Technology is there to be leveraged to make your life and that of others better.
Adding value for your customer is where the growth is.
Most people are using AI wrong and blaming the tool when they get poor results.
AI can´t read your mind, you need to give it context and invite it to ask you for clarification.
Give AI an avatar to write as e.g. You are an expert copywriter who specialises in ….
One prompt is rarely enough, you need to provide a framework e.g. To write a book, you need to provide hundreds of prompts.
It is still hard to get AI to only use the body of knowledge you give it to create content. Mike shares his method for doing this.
AI works with a limited amount of memory, so if you give it too many instructions in one go, it soon loses the thread and goes off track.
Johnathan shares several ways to get around usage caps and gain access to all of the AI models.
Make using AI a win for your team.
Learn how to leverage AI. Doing so turns you into a sought-after employee.
Do something new each day with AI.
To overcome the hallucinations issue. Trust, but verify.
When brainstorming with AI, use your voice. Weirdly, you get much better results. It is also good at transcribing.
AI does a great job of organizing and contextualizing what is sometimes a very random stream of thought.
The fastest way to learn AI is to use it consistently.
