We all grew accustomed to using search, so we just default to using search prompts with AI because it looks like a search feature. A generic request goes in, the results are miserable. Then you waste time refining the search and trying to get the AI back on the rails. Only to have cost yourself more time than if you had spelled out a properly formed AI query in the first place.
You nailed it. We are the problem, but we are also tech people and early adopters. This is exactly how the average user will be trying to use AI for the foreseeable future. Normies will not take the time to figure it out they will get mad and not use it. So it is up to those pushing AI to accommodate them or be left out in the cold
Great point on being early adopters. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is using it. But it came out in late 2022. All the clunk we see is because it’s new!

Really enjoyed this one. Using AI is such an underrated skill, the more you practice, the sharper your results get.
I think it’s such a powerful tool people don’t realize it still needs skill and practice!
