Improving AI Answers: Learn AI The Right Way

Stop guessing and start mastering AI! Amanda Askell, the philosopher at Anthropic who helps build Claude, just revealed the real secret to getting amazing results from any chatbot. She says most people treat AI like a search box when they should learn AI as a brand-new language. In a new video, Askell explains that great prompting is not about magic words; it’s about experimenting, watching outputs closely, and teaching the AI exactly what you want, step by step.

Learn AI Prompting Like a Pro: Amanda Askell’s Top Tips

Askell, who uses her philosophy background to “think clearly with machines,” shares simple yet powerful ways to level up fast:

• Treat prompting as an experiment: test different styles and see what works best with each model.
• Give crystal-clear instructions: explain the task, style, format, and examples just like you would train a super-smart but forgetful new employee.

Most AI coding tools have terrible taste.

They generate logic fine, but the UI always looks like a generic wrapper "AI Slop".

The fix isn't better prompting-it's better references.

• Drop old assumptions: every AI model behaves differently, so watch output after output to understand its personality.
• Reason together with the AI: ask it to think step-by-step, show its work, and fix mistakes as you chat.
• Be patient and iterate: the best prompt engineers interact hundreds of times to discover what really clicks.

Anthropic already teaches users to picture Claude as “a brilliant but brand-new colleague with amnesia.” That means the AI has zero memory of your preferences unless you spell them out every time. The more context you feed it – goals, tone, examples, and rules, the better it performs.

“Philosophy actually helps here,” Askell laughs. “My job is explaining complex ideas clearly – and that’s exactly what good prompting does.”

If you want to learn AI the right way in 2025 and beyond, start treating every chat as a conversation with a talented intern who needs detailed guidance. Master these habits and you’ll unlock mind-blowing results from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any model. The future belongs to people who speak AI fluently – and the best time to learn AI prompting is right now!
