Chats - much better word! I’ve been thinking and writing a bit more about this in one of my articles on prompting, because I’ve really come to believe that a lot of the skepticism (especially on Reddit) comes from the word “prompt” itself. It gets misunderstood and stripped of its actual purpose - which is, in the end, just… having a chat. Totally with you on this.
Also Tiff, huge congrats on everything you’re building and achieving lately - you’re goals <3
Daria!! YES! The word 'prompt' makes it sound like you're programming a machine instead of having a conversation with a really smart colleague. No wonder people on Reddit are skeptical - they're probably writing stuff like 'GENERATE CONTENT ABOUT TOPIC' and wondering why it feels robotic 😅
I'd love to read your article on this! Drop the link - always love your takes on these things!
And thank you so much for the kind words! Honestly still pinching myself about all of it. Here's to making AI less intimidating, one chat at a time 🎉
Yes right ....we need to stop treating AI just as a machine ,not can understand our tone and reply accordingly. So we need to START TALKING to AI to unleash its power and support and make u productive.
Don't forget AI is just like a child with SUPER POWERS🚀 it's reaction depends on you input.
AI is just like a child with SUPER POWERS' - I'm absolutely stealing this analogy 😂
You nailed it though! The way people talk to AI vs. how they'd talk to a really smart intern is wild. Nobody would walk up to an intern and say 'WRITE EMAIL. PROFESSIONAL TONE. THREE PARAGRAPHS.' But that's exactly how most prompts look lol.
Treat it like a conversation with someone brilliant who's just excited to help, and suddenly everything clicks. Thanks for getting it!
Thanks, TechTiff! Glad you liked the analogy☺️. Talking to AI should be fun—just like chatting with a curious kid who’s ready to help out. Who knows, maybe one day it’ll ask us for a snack break😂! Appreciate your awesome reply.”
This is such a refreshing reframe. AI fluency isn’t about learning secret syntax, it’s about thinking out loud and having a conversation. The real skill is curiosity and iteration, not crafting perfect prompts. Start talking, follow up, refine, repeat; that’s how AI becomes a partner, not just a tool.

This piece nails what we’ve been exploring together at "AI, But Make It Intimate":
that fluency isn’t about prompts or syntax, it’s about presence.
Every chat, every shared question, is part of that unfolding dialogue.
