What skeptics should know about using AI

1. It's a conversation, not a search engine. The biggest mistake newbies make is treating AI like Google - one question, one answer, done. The magic happens in the back-and-forth. Ask a question. Read the answer. Then push: "Make it shorter ... Give me three alternatives ... That's too formal ... What am I missing?" The best outputs come from the fifth or sixth exchange.
