A better way to ask AI for a first draft

Less ‘make it cool.’ More useful constraints. Everyone wins.

Ask for a role, a reader, a constraint and an opinion. ‘Write a friendly launch note for a skeptical operations lead. Keep it under 120 words. No buzzwords.’ That is a real starting line.

Then ask for the weird version. The clearer version. The one that sounds like a person who slept well.

Specificity is the opposite of boring. It is a kindness to the work.
