Most AI frustration traces back to one habit: prompting like you're Googling. Here's what changes when you stop.
-
Prompt chaining breaks complex AI tasks into sequential steps. Here's how it works, when it's worth doing, and where it quietly falls apart.
-
Using AI more doesn't always mean using it better. Here's where the tool helps and where it quietly starts doing your thinking for you.
