Ideas have a life of their own; they are nourished and grow every time we share them. Keeping a thought to oneself is not the same as testing it against someone else\u2019s perspective. Every question or comment from a third party makes our thinking more robust. What happens, then, when we \u2018tell\u2019 our idea to an AI that has access to a vast amount of information and the ability to organise it to suit our needs?<\/p>\n

A well-formulated question accounts for 99% of the answer. The common mistake is to use AI as a simple search engine, accepting the first answer it generates. Now, if we don\u2019t want answers, a very simple way to get more out of our interactions is to ask it to draft questions for us.<\/p>\n

A personal example: towards the end of last year, my wife was studying a specialisation in Healthcare Architecture. Despite her expert knowledge of the subject, she faced the challenge of how to structure her ideas for her final essay. Being a brilliant person, she has always complained about not knowing how to express her ideas. Instead of asking the AI to write the text, we asked it to generate a questionnaire of twelve key questions to develop the topic.<\/p>\n

My wife then set about answering in simple language and pouring her knowledge into each response; the process flowed naturally. After a technology-assisted style review to polish the writing, the result was top marks. She didn\u2019t need the AI to replace her intellect, but rather to organise her expertise.<\/p>\n

The art of asking: The \u2018Prompt\u2019<\/h2>\n

The standard format of a \u2018prompt\u2019 begins by asking the AI to \u2018behave\u2019 in a certain way. It can take on the role of an \u2018architect specialising in healthcare\u2019 or a \u2018telecommunications expert\u2019. We must then describe the context in which we are asking the question and the format and conditions under which we expect our response, as in this case a list of questions to help clarify my ideas.<\/p>\n

In a reflective exercise, I asked the AI, in the role of an expert in integrated…<\/p>\n
