And honestly you can be better at writing prompts and be proud of that too, but given that AI is built entirely on using other people’s work, you’re not allowed to be upset about people using it. Don’t post them publicly if you really care.

Fond of google 2000-2005 (ish).

Back before enshitification, when could use extra criteria to reliably filter and refine the search, and could go dozens of pages deep into search results. Back before it got nerfed and censored.

There used to be a strategy to it. Simply googling several specific and relevant keywords would get you incredibly good results. Nowadays, you're honestly better off typing out a whole question and hoping the bullshit Ai answer has good sources you can click on.
