How should we really talk to AI, and how can we use tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini without losing our own judgment?In this episode of the Future Of Business And Technology podcast, I speak with Jamie Bartlett, author of How To Talk To AI, about one of the most important skills of the AI age: communicating well with intelligent machines. 🤖💬We explore why prompt engineering is only part of the story, and why the real skill lies in developing better habits when using AI. Jamie explains why we should ask whether we need AI for a task in the first place, why the first answer from a language model should always be treated as a draft and how AI can become a powerful creative partner when we push it beyond bland, average responses. 💡We also discuss the risks of AI sycophancy, where chatbots flatter us, agree with us and reinforce our assumptions. Jamie shares practical ways to challenge AI outputs, use AI as a devil’s advocate and avoid outsourcing our thinking to machines. 🧠This conversation also covers AI in education, mental health, autonomous agents, privacy, creativity and the future of human judgment in a world where AI is becoming part of everyday work and life.If you want to understand how to use AI more effectively, how to get better answers from AI tools and how to stay in control while working with intelligent machines, this conversation is for you. 🚀Topics Covered:How to talk to AI more effectivelyWhy prompt engineering is really about better habitsHow to get better answers from ChatGPT, Claude and GeminiWhy the first AI answer should be treated as a draftHow AI can boost creativity and idea generationThe danger of AI flattery and sycophancyHow to use AI as a devil’s advocateWhy we must protect human judgmentAI in education, work and mental healthThe risks of autonomous AI agentsHow to use AI without becoming too dependent on it#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ChatGPT #GenerativeAI #PromptEngineering #HowToTalkToAI #JamieBartlett #FutureOfWork #AITools #BusinessTechnology #AIEducation #AIProductivity #HumanJudgment #ClaudeAI #GeminiAI
