I spend hours on my prompt and it includes graphical designs and schemes. When I made my prompt I ask an llm what I did forget or what is unclear. Often it's like 9 points. When answered that, I really get the results I wish for. These days we can generate perfect software with just a few hours work but still we want to do this in five minutes. Lazyness and AI do not go good together. It looks like that on short term. For a long time AI raised only frustration to me.

Unironically why AI doesn't work as well as some people would like to believe
If you're too lazy to write code you're also too lazy to write good prompts, so your code will suck either way. Theres no magic way to create good code! -
@12bitfloat I use keep reprompting and using up its context window until it lands the ball
it's like golf. AI golf -
@jestdotty That's a neat concept. Like code golf, but for LLMS: prompt golf. Use the shortest prompt to get the LLM to actually work correctly.
Ah, nevermind. You'd never get it below a paragraph. -
@BordedDev good joke :p but I do use AI to finetune prompts to ask what is unclear and that helps a lot to make a better one.
