I’ve started learning into the various AI-isms in my prompts. Most recently, em dashes to chain related information in a single sentence.
“Something something main point — but also pay attention to this related thing — finish main point.”
Anecdotally, it seems to produce more consistent results when I “speak its language”.
On the output side, I’ve become much more aggressive about trimming and editing any prose it produces that I intend on sharing. Both for my own benefit to improve comprehension, but also because dumping the raw, verbose output on my colleagues feels lazy and disrespectful of their time.
