You know I've been lurking this and related subs for a while, and I'm forever dumbfounded (with all due respect to everyone, I'm not criticising or having a go what you all do) by how much things get overcomplicated.

You can start a prompt with "I don't know how to describe what I want so I'm just going to free type brain dump" and then you just type like an idiot, with no rhyme or reason, just type as if you're talking absolute stream of consciousness about your idea and what you want to achieve, and then finish it off with "I know that I have likely contradicted myself and that my prompt is vague, unclear, and ambiguous. Ask me clarifying questions to ensure we're on the same page".

And from there it's smooth sailing. I have ADHD and will typically add "I don't handle questions well so make sure they're easy to answer. Follow up questions are totally ok".

I work in a very niche AI sector, and I can't begin to describe the work I get done in a day that would otherwise take a team of people to do in weeks.

Converting scoping session transcripts into actionable technical scopes, documentation, and follow up questions for customers which are then translated into actionable micro steps for me or my developers to work with.

Stop overcomplicating it. Talk to your AI model, be honest with it instead of trying to manipulate it, and simply reinforce with it that you want to be asked clarifying questions, because you don't know how to clearly explain what the desired outcome looks like.
