AI is perpetually patient

AI is perpetually patient

My friend and colleague Noel Shatananda of fusionSpan was providing me some tips about using AI. During that discussion, he pointed out that one of the keys to using AI tools like ChatGPT successfully is to continue to ask it questions to refine its work. As he put it, "AI is perpetually patient."

This is a great perspective on the value of AI, and a smart way to approach using AI to assist with your work. If you're just looking for a simple answer, you may not need to ask follow up questions. But if you're developing content or developing more complex agents, asking follow up questions may get you to a better outcome.

So as you use AI for whatever reason, don't be afraid to keep poking, prodding, and asking questions. After all, unlike humans, AI is perpetually patient.
