Masculine Revival

I’ve been teaching people to use AI since 2022. If I had to condense what I’ve learned into one post, I’d give you these 10 rules: 1. Turn off training before you type anything. Fear is what stops people from starting. Knowing what’s private removes it. Example: In your AI tool’s privacy settings, turn off the option that lets it use your chats to improve its models. Turn off location metadata too. 2. You don’t need to be technical. You need to talk to it. “Can you have a conversation either by typing or talking? Cuz if you can do that, that’s like as technical as you need to be.” Example: My degree is in environmental studies and geology, and I can’t code. 3. Bad at prompting? Use three steps. People avoid AI because they think prompting is too hard to learn. Example: > Do a brain dump by voice. > Add “Clean up this prompt for ChatGPT for clarity and impact:” > Add “Now turn this into a super prompt.” 4. Train it on your voice before you ask it to write. Everyone can tell when AI wrote an email. The prompt is in the first image. Example: Use three different contexts, such as a text to a friend, an email to a supervisor, and a Facebook post. 5. Tell it what you’d never say. “What you don’t do is more important than what you do do.” Example: “Never use corporate words like leverage or utilize,” and never end with “in conclusion.” 6. Give it your resume, and have it read it like a business advisor. “We don’t see our past experiences as being so valuable.” The prompt is in the second image. Then: “Read it the way a business advisor would, not the way a hiring manager would.” Example: A former vice principal wanted to do AI in healthcare because it was trending, when AI in education was the obvious fit. 7. Build a story bank. As Les Brown says, “Do not tell a fact without telling a story.” The prompt is in the third image. Example: On the 3rd of every month, I have AI interview me for new stories. 8. Ask for income ideas that fit you specifically. “It has to be specific to you. Otherwise, who cares?” Example: Ask for ideas built from your voice profile, blueprint and story bank “that fit me specifically.” Can’t pick? Ask it to “ask me five questions to help me pick,” then go with your gut. 9. Test before you build. A 90-day plan overwhelms people before they start. Copy this: “Build me a day one test. What do I do today? Not the 90-day plan... The goal is to find out if anyone wants this before I build anything.” 10. Make it your daily coach. “Sometimes all people need is a business strategist.” Example: Report back every day, like “I did three out of the five things you gave me today,” and it tells you what’s next. AI out of the box knows everything except you. Teach it you.
