In this episode, Sam and Katy discuss how to effectively interact with AI by asking the right questions.

Most people ask AI to solve the problem they think they have, without ever stopping to check if it's the right problem in the first place.

You'll learn: Why narrow, one-shot questions produce flat, forgettable answers How to use AI as a brainstorm partner instead of an order taker What asking for a sample first changes about the final result The two words that turn a first-response into something worth using
