Great article, Elena, and those graphics are on-point!

The one thing that's radically helped my prompting, in addition to everything you share in the AI Prompt Structure, is to always provide an example of what "good" looks like.

It's been a game-changer for every single prompt I use.

Every time I get lazy and don't give the LLM an example to follow, it costs me far more time in back & forth getting "not quite right" responses.

Daniel Bustamante models this incredibly well with all of his prompts over at his excellent "AI Email Marketing Prompts" newsletter.

I agree Mike, just as we learn from examples, Generative AI also improves performance when given examples. This technique, known as one-shotting or few-shotting (one or more examples), is highly recommended practice.

Fantastic breakdown! Anyone serious about AI needs this vocabulary; it’s the foundation for making smart, informed decisions.

Thanks Suhrab, then I will add yours to my new tool where I'm condensing all these information and I'll promoting Substacks (or Substackers?) that teach about AI :)

This is a brilliant synopsis of the core ideas and terms non-technical people would benefit from! If anyone wants a more meandering but useful and non-tech-oriented exploration into some of the concepts, I'd present you my take on them: https://ashstuart.substack.com/t/conc
