I never would have thought about the creativeness of how to generate a better prompt, but i guess its all in the prompts. Every goal, objective or method can be expanded by giving an AI a role. I can't believe how much i've learned that i've listened to it 4 times already. From listening to the narrator to refining the prompt, or going deeper into the topic or subject to even include statistics or those details you haven't thought of before, its all here. I like how the author put it, work on it until its polished, yeah this will take some practice but this prompt engineering is going to be wonderful for any listener.

Great way to learn refined prompts
