Quotes from the episode

Think of the expertise or supervision that you’re developing with AI through prompting as a verb rather than a noun. You’re constantly learning new moves and new techniques and shaping AI as it develops along with you.
-Anuj Gupta

If you try and do everything AI, you will never succeed. Find a newsletter that is collating information about what’s happening with AI in your fields.
-Anuj Gupta

We were interested in what kind of moves and maneuvers, strategies writers of generative AI prompts were actually enacting.
-Brian Gogan

When I think about keeping the human in the loop, I want to make sure that we are not handing those production processes off solely to machines, and the human needs a role in those production processes.
-Brian Gogan
