Andrej Karpathy posted something last week I’d been doing for months without a name for it.
Long, rambling, voice-dictated prompts work better than carefully constructed ones. You talk. The AI sorts it out. Your mess gives it more signal than a tight prompt.
2.5 million impressions. Because everyone who’s tried an AI assistant knows the pressure. Trying to compress a fuzzy idea into the right words before you know what you want to say.
I stopped doing that months ago.
I dictate. Five, ten minutes straight. The AI gets the tangent about font sizes, the aside about a competitor, the half-formed idea I’m not sure about. It hands back something cleaner than what I started with.
Tight prompts make you decide what matters before you know. Voice rambling lets the AI find the shape.
