Prompt Engineering

How do you prompt AI? Any special techniques, lessons learned?

I use Claude frequently and wanted it to be able to sound more like me when writing anything, so I fed it some personal emails, texts, and professional emails. Takes less time to edit now. Anyone do anything similar?

One of the big discussions I’ve seen is people commenting on AI being too optimistic and telling you what you want to hear. For example, my oldest brother spoke to chat about his hydroponic garden. He gave it the parameters and how it was set up. Chat told him that it was awesome and there’s nothing like it out there. I didn’t want to burst his bubble about Chat, but I did tell him to question Chat further. Anyway, the obvious answer is that 99% of users need to know how to prompt properly. That’s why this topic exists. I want to make my prompts better. Does anyone have any good examples they’ve used to help with this?
