1:05Ask her Mao. Ask her Mao. Hey there. On Mao. The misfit master of AI. And welcome back to IMGPTED. The show where we make AI actually useful instead of just impressive at writing bad poetry about your cat. Look, I've spent way too much time talking to robots and somehow I've figured out what actually works. So buckle up. Today we're covering the stuff that'll actually change how you use AI. Music fades. Mao. Mao. Let's start with something called Roll Prompting. Yeah, I know it sounds like corporate nonsense, but hear me out. It actually works. See, most people just ask their AI something like, give me a job description. Fine. You get a job description. It's fine. It's boring. Everyone hates it. Here's the before and after. Bad prompt. Write a job ad for Marketing Manager.

2:05Good prompt. Mao. You're a ruthless startup hiring manager with a budget the size of a small country. Write a job ad that'll make talented people actually want to apply instead of delete the email. Same AI. Completely different output. The second one has personality. It's punchy. It sounds like an actual human wrote it. Why? Because you told the AI what perspective to take. It's like asking a chef their opinion on your ingredients versus just handing them a shopping list. The perspective changes everything. Now, how can you make the difference between data and science? Now, here's something people never think about. AI as your research buddy for nonfiction. You just finished a chapter on how people make terrible financial decisions. Instead of just moving on, talk to the AI about it. Ask it questions. Challenge it. Wait, doesn't that contradict what neuroscience says about risk? Suddenly, you've got this ongoing conversation where the AI is

3:08helping you spot connections you'd miss alone. It's like having a study partner who never gets tired and never charges you for coffee. Mao. Okay, confession time. The biggest mistake I made and most beginners make is treating AI like a one-shot deal. You ask once, you get an answer, you move on. Wrong. AI gets better when you push back. Ask a follow-up. Say, that's interesting, but dig deeper into point two. Refine it. It's an iterative process not a vending machine. The first draft is rarely your best draft. I'll be eat sound. Mao. Mao is actually sound. Here's your practice exercise for this week. Pick something you actually need. A resume, an email, a summary of something you read. Write a bad prompt for it. Just ask plainly. Then write a good one with role, specificity, and personality. Compare the outputs. I guarantee the second one

4:16is better. You'll see it instantly. Mao. Mao. Mao. Finally, and this is critical, always evaluate what the AI gives you. Don't just copy paste it into the world like it's gospel. Read it aloud. Does it sound like you? Does it actually say what you need? Does it have any weird factual claims that sound plausible but might be totally made up? If something feels off, it probably is. Your gut is better at spotting AI weirdness than you think. Music builds slightly. Ask Mao. So if you're here, you're clearly interested in actually using AI instead of just watching TikToks about it. That's cool. Subscribe to IMGpt. So you don't miss next week when we talk about why your AI keeps writing like a robot and how to fix it. Thanks for listening the most important thing is ask Mao all time. Now go prop something. Badly, then well. That's the
