I stopped writing careful ChatGPT prompts and rambled at it for 10 minutes instead — the results changed how I use AI

ChatGPT's voice mode running on an iPhone.

I've often treated ChatGPT as though a poorly worded prompt might break it. I'd think about what I wanted to ask, rewrite it a couple of times, remove anything that sounded irrelevant, and essentially do half the chatbot's work in my head before ever submitting a prompt.

Recently, I've discovered that some people succeed with the complete inverse of that strategy. Instead of polishing every sentence, they simply talk, and keep talking. They switch on ChatGPT's advanced voice mode, start rambling, and let whatever happens to be bouncing around inside their head spill out for several minutes without interruption. I was curious to try out simply thinking out loud and letting ChatGPT sort through the mess afterward.
