PROMPT_01 / BE SPECIFIC
Stop Being Nice to AI book cover
POLITE ≠ PRECISE

NICE / VAGUE

“Could you maybe help me write a little message to my team?”
AI has to guess the meeting, time, tone, and length.

DIRECT / USEFUL

“Write a 60-word message moving Thursday's 2 p.m. standup to Friday at 10.”
AI knows what done looks like.

CHAPTER_03 // WHY BEING NICE GETS YOU WORSE RESULTS

“When you're worried about being polite, you make small, soft requests. You don't want to seem demanding, so you ask for ‘a little help’ instead of spelling out exactly what you need.

The AI isn't offended by the bossy version. It loves the bossy version. The bossy version is the one that tells it precisely what to build.”
