I hate AI and I know with absolute certainty it will bring far more horror into human existence than we have ever known before. But thanks for this tutorial 😀
I’m usually a late comer to new technology. I didn’t get a smart phone till 2012
I didn’t get ChatGPT until this month. I love it.
I’m mainly using it to track health data. And I find it especially helpful in analyzing my daily BM’s. I upload a picture and ask it to analyze and advise. A doctor can’t or won’t do this for you. They simply do not have time, and this is not something they are trained for.
From ChatGPT-
I learned that I wasn’t absorbing fat properly. Malabsorption. Oxbile and digestive enzymes fixed this.
Maybe. While part of my comment was tongue in cheek, the idea that AI doesn’t pose serious risks to humanity in ways that hydrogen and the printing press don’t is unrealistic.
Spent £20, saved £20,000 within one month. Will save £500,000 over the next 20 years. I am a law geek and have now become a non-taxpayer. Writing legal notices and trusts used to take two weeks. Now it takes one hour. ChatGPT like most tools can be used for good or evil.
Congratulations you are using it for evil to be a total parasite and not give anything back to the society that nurtured your gifts. Proud of yourself?
Love this, super useful. However the parts in the grey boxes suggested for copying into new conversations don’t appear to be copyable? Is there a workaround? Thank you!
I use most of these except the framework tip. Most of the output I get is valuable but I know when I use other uncustomized models it is total waste of time. Thanks for the structured tips!
Great points! It’s so easy to forget that majority of Ai users don’t operate the way the we think they do. I’ll be using these steps to make sure we’re all on the same page. Thank you!
After several months of reading your substack posts I subscribed yesterday. This is my main investment (in time and money) in learning to use--and understand--AI (dashes used for emphasis and attention). I am retired now but my work has always been based on improving communications in organizational settings. Your articles have been transforming complex and fuzzy notions about AI into clear and workable recommendations. I note that you have learned three languages, with English being one of them. You have learned it well. The quality of your writing is what convinced me to subscribe--you turn turgid technical texts into stories worth reading. Gerald
Just tried this out on a problem I have with communicating to a friend/client. I think it helped clarify my options. Your guidance was very clear. Thanks
Really thoughtful guide, Kamil. Especially appreciated the clarity around onboarding.
One thing I’ve been noticing though: when you heavily rely on tone shifts or prompt rhythm, strong personalisation can act like a soft filter. It doesn’t override the prompt, but it does seem to nudge the tone or pacing. It happens especially early in a thread or when prompts are a bit open.
Do you adjust your settings based on context or type of work? Curious how you manage that balance between consistency and flexibility.
Hi Kamil. I appreciate this post a lot. I think people hate on AI because they assume most are using it to write and create, which leads to the death of original ideas.
When I've used AI I've always thought of it as a research and organizational companion. My Chat GPT answers to a name. He's a mentor, a voice, and a place to organize thoughts. Interestingly, our conversations more often illustrate what I don't want to do, what I don't want to write, and get me from in my head to on paper a little bit faster. And if I need him to be a sales executive, a financial advisor, or a simple researcher — he quickly points me in the right direction.
I remain very curious how other people are using AI. But I will be implementing some of your actions to see how they work. Thanks for writing.
I did everything and I am amazed by the results. I thought I was already a guru, but seeing the results on your recommendation, I am still a baby in the world of AI. Thank you!

What is BM anyway?
I would assume bio markers. I wondered by what message Te is measuring them
Bowel Movement, sorry I was figured everyone knows what a BM is. My bad.
I upload a picture to chatbox. Have it log it analyze and advise.
No doctor could ever do this for you.
G, I thought it meant bowel movement.
Bowel Movement
From a daily picture, really? The world is going to 💩 faster than I thought.
So how in the world you got into Substack ? Hahahahaha
That’s crazy. What have you done to improve things.
I’ll have to go to chat GPT and get it to explain what you’re talking about.😂
Maybe. While part of my comment was tongue in cheek, the idea that AI doesn’t pose serious risks to humanity in ways that hydrogen and the printing press don’t is unrealistic.
Poor Jeff. You probably hate hydrogen too. Just HATE hydrogen. Because it leads to, you know,…. Everything.
Yes
Clearly... You've not gotten the main idea 💡
I think I have. It's why I have reservations. Surprising that others can view AI as an unalloyed good. Really surprising.
Great write up and I will try this out!
DANG. i get it but why humanity? why wish for more suffering
hmmmm….. doesn’t BM mean bowel movement?
I’m sure that’s what some said about the printing press or electricity or the internal combustion engine at the beginning…
Great.
I like how clearly you delivered this.
I like how chatgpt helped the author deliver that so clearly.
And no em dashes!
you’ll enjoy todays edition ;)

OK you've got me, I have subscribed. You might like this I wrote with chatGPT.
Blew my tiny mind!

The people complaining that "ChatGPT gives generic advice" are the same ones who never briefed it like a team member.
AI’s not your muse, sweetie, it’s your intern. And it needs training.
Honestly? This should be required reading for anyone paying $20/month and still using GPT like it’s Ask Jeeves.
Perfect post!
You forgot to mention the use of “projects,” “instructions,” and “grade” within and outside of the project environment.
In principle, using these, you’ll get the customized behavior without the need to instruct ChatGPT.
That said, your setup resembles mine, although the subject matters are completely different.
Love this, super useful. However the parts in the grey boxes suggested for copying into new conversations don’t appear to be copyable? Is there a workaround? Thank you!
Hey, thank you for the feedback. I will work on this. In the meantime, if you open the article in the browser it should be Easier to copy it
Thanks for sharing these info!
Have you tried customizing it?
Yes I do.
I use most of these except the framework tip. Most of the output I get is valuable but I know when I use other uncustomized models it is total waste of time. Thanks for the structured tips!

In EDGE cases, I ask it to ignore the personalization settings. It seems to work.
Yes, including "Ignore any personalisation settings" etc. in the prompt does help. Fully agree.

This is a very useful tutorial. You have to give AI a bit of "you" to get amazing results.
Wow! These tips are excellent. I appreciate your post on the subject. Subscribed.
Thank you, please let me know if you need any help
