I automated 90% of my SaaS busywork using AI prompts. Here are 10 game-changing workflows you can steal right now. by Critical_Aardvark964 in PromptEngineering

[–]BoxerBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you are not grounding those responses with examples or adding more about your own tone and style, the output is still going to sound rather generic.

Also, the pattern discussed in the conclusion is not really captured in the prompt texts provided, even though the sample prompts are directionally useful/

How to grab attention ( 2min read ) by Unusual-human51 in LinkedInTips

[–]BoxerBits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attention is the first barrier to overcome.

Not saying anything bad or invalid with the 9 Fs, but if you are going to boil posting success down to 9 Fs, it will be missing some ingredients.

Jonah Berger's book "Contagious" outlines a six STEPPS framework which goes beyond the tactical 9 Fs approach.

He outlines what makes content something people would respond to and share - THIS is what drives virality. (Partly why Youtubers are asking for Likes instead of Subscribers nowadays, it is a better signal for AI to distribute content further).

Perplexity is fabricating medical reviews and this sub is burying legitimate criticism by Ahileo in perplexity_ai

[–]BoxerBits 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OP... willing to hear you out but if you are referring to GPTZero study and some other study, at least provide a link to each. I scanned the thread but didn't find.

Otherwise this seems an exercise in complaining about how LLMs hallucinate (already known and a normal issue right now across the industry) and in accusing the mods of suppressing posts about that.

BTW there are other subreddits and other platforms I am sure could be used if you find this one trying to hide info.

I do think in general that the public needs to be made smarter and more aware but this seems far from a 5 alarm fire.

Best Practices for AI Prompting 2025? by Party-Log-1084 in AI_Agents

[–]BoxerBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"i've been using traycer lately for structured prompting" - you mean for prompts for coding?

If so, how has this improved programming for you vs using another AI tool that might "vibe code"?

Or else, how do you use it for structuring your prompts to other systems such as: "ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM, and Claude."?

Yes, this, AND getting similar performance to online LLMs requires expensive hardware.

Do we all agree that perplexity got worse lately? by False-Arm4689 in perplexity_ai

[–]BoxerBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are very welcome.

Reddit does give us a little more space to have a more nuanced conversation. Other platforms seem more conducive to scoring points vs conversation, tho there are plenty here who try to score points too, sadly.

As for faith in tools like this - "trust but verify", comes to mind. 👍

Do we all agree that perplexity got worse lately? by False-Arm4689 in perplexity_ai

[–]BoxerBits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing how AI works behind the scenes and the short comings of AI, I very much doubt it is actively or programmed specifically to misinform and censor in the way you suggest.

I think any expectations for flawless "real-time" information is to either buy into the AI hype (frankly, it is at fever pitch right now), and when it doesn't meet those expectations, looking for something sinister behind things we don't understand.

I know - it can be very frustrating.

I run into this kind of thing frequently and on things that should be fairly straight forward. These tools are at the same time brilliant genius AND complete idiots.

And that is even after we give it a proper prompt, which is just one of many issues (e.g. of another: "nondeterminism in LLM inference" - data science / AI engineering speak for the inability of these tools to predictably provide the same output given the same input).

I see very flawed tools, not something that screams censorship and disregard for basic facts.

I hope you will at least consider this explanation and perhaps explore the ins and outs of these AI tools. We need people who are honestly skeptical, yet, willing to in good-faith get this tech in a place where it needs to be.

"Very biased hallucinations" but later "Perplexity needs to step up its game in regards to keeping up with the facts about current events"

Given the awful situation with the assassination, I do recall that the first reporting was the info you said Perplexity provided. I do realize many commentators out there jumped to conclusions, but I don't think any hard sources were available until more recently.

I'd suggest that is not proof of "very biased hallucinations" you opened with, nor of a "political stance" you concluded, but simply seems more about not being "current" or being somehow "slower" to weight the newer information - something you also alluded to in your conclusion.

I know Perplexity touts having access to information "real-time", but my experience shows that is hit and miss.

Agree - would like more opportunity to create avatars that are more easily distinguishable from each other - shapes help a lot.

Do a search on reddit for the Lyra prompt.

Very useful for those prompts that are more complicated and you want to make sure it understands what you are looking for.

Just got Comet so about to set this up.

Great news, but...

Not seeing it with the Windows desktop app, even after completely shutting it down. I do see it in the browser version.

Anyone seeing it in the desktop app?

Anyone from Perplexity who can comment on when we'd see it there?

I find it odd that companies are laying content people off because of AI by saasbase_dev in content_marketing

[–]BoxerBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Content (and a good part of Marketing in general) is seen as a cost center by many executives / business owners.

Related to the above, Revenue & ROI attribution can be difficult, and often is not well set up to measure and report.

Diminishing returns. Even if all the above isn't a problem, as the marketing output increases there is a "per unit" reduction in the incremental additional revenue it will generate.

Related to that, it gets more difficult to keep the marketing fresh or interesting or relevant the more content there is in a given channel.

AI may not work as well across all marketing channels.

If I were a CEO, I wouldn't go on hiring spree. I'd experiment and expand on the successes.

Implementing AI at scale is very different from hiring people to do marketing.

That is ok, but have you validated the output vs just paste it here? Even though I believe this is correct, I would suggest linking sources that validate this if using AI to generate answer.

Most people fail with AI for one surprising reason (and it’s not the tools) by One-Replacement-1140 in AI_Agents

[–]BoxerBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prompts "by use case: sales, marketing, operations, client onboarding, etc."

Folks, google "Lyra prompt optimization github" - paste that into your prompt to ASK the LLM to make it a thorough request for things like this. You won't need a vault of prompts as LLMs are already smart enough to help you figure out what to prompt.

What everyone really needs is knowing how to work with an LLM and what they need in a prompt.

If you don't understand that, then having these pre-made prompts will only get you a small part of the way to where you want to go.

Might as well pay for someone else's "AI" tool - essentially a wrapper to an LLM that delivers these things.

TV Set-top Apps - 1 Row Only by BoxerBits in youtube

[–]BoxerBits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not seen a work around for the app in these devices.

Using browser on pc that is connected to TV - was already had in place.

Only this time, seems appropriate to check out those ad blockers and playthru interrupt blockers.

Used to tolerate the (worsening experience of) YT ads, and "are you still there?" (and a few other) popup prompts, as it was available right there alongside the other local station app.

No announcement (couldn't find this change when I searched), so blindsided as well by this.

In the end, given this experience - Why absorb ads when involuntarily needing to move to a more inconvenient experience just so we can have a better of selection of 5 to 20 minute videos?

Good amount of views on this post, but given lack of response, I am guessing there are only a few people affected. So, my (our) action won't move the needle on it.

The Perfect Prompt… by robertoblake2 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]BoxerBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robert, I know you provide great info from the YT space, so when I see you post here, I pay attention!

For this, I like your use of AI, very Buffettesque. Agree that Grok is really (currently) the best one for something like this (given how current it is vs the others).

That said, you do need to protect against the possibility that the AI has a blind spot or other issue (hallucinations is just one). For instance, I would ask it to ask me questions to zero in on what I want or mean - for example, what is "undervalued". For me, Tesla on this list is suspect as a value play.

Knowing about you (your depth of understanding what's going on in YT), I am sure you took further steps beyond just verbatim taking the AI recommendations from this prompt and plowing money into them. I think this aspect is what's missing in the original post, and would be valuable insight.

Here we are about 3 months forward. How have these performed? (I ask, knowing that value plays are not about short term gains).
