I’ve used AI to help me break down complicated business reports, understand medical topics before appointments, analyze leadership styles, compare expensive products and even connect patterns across interviews and podcasts I didn’t have time to fully process myself.
But as a power user, I keep running into the same problem. Even when ChatGPT gave me technically “good” answers, the responses didn't give me the full picture. The information was mostly accurate, but it lacked texture, nuance and the kinds of deeper insights that come from doing the research myself. Putting all of my trust in AI with the hope it comes back with everything I need has only set me up for failure every time.
That is, until I started using what I now call the “butter” prompt. And strangely enough, it completely changed the quality of the results.
