All week I've been writing on the Internet about using LLMs to summarize and extract data from texts. So, this shouldn't come as a surprise.

"Follow This One Trick to Write Great Headlines"¹

I figured generating a headline is kind of the apotheosis of this week's prompts. I mean, ideally, it feels like a headline is a distillation of a text's essence.

New post! In which I get an LLM to read an email, create a list of action items, and add them to a to-do list.¹

Today's post includes some of my thoughts on AI and labor.¹

"...AI art doesn't copy human artists the way you think it does & that queasy feeling it gives you isn't about copyright. It's antitrust and labor."

We also revisit Tuesday's prompt, adding context and improving its performance.

Sometimes, I imagine the HAL 9000 answering emails on my behalf simply by saying, "I'm Sorry, Dave can't do that." So, today's title was a no brainier.

I'm Sorry, Dave Can't Do That: [Have AI] Use the text of an email to draft a polite reply declining any request(s)¹

What if I you could select a word or phrase, click a button, and get a definition, be it for a word, idiom, or initialism without leaving the page you're on? Well, I'm happy to say today's prompt template does just that.

It also starts us down the path of understanding how a neural net works!

"...everyone's been handed a telescope [LLMs], and they keep looking through the wrong end... Instead of writing prompts with 5 words and expecting 500, more folks should be providing 500 and asking for 5."
