Something I’ve been wondering about lately: When you use ChatGPT or Claude, do you actually write detailed prompts, or have you mostly moved toward just talking to it like a person? I feel like there are two very different ways of using these tools. One is: "Here's the context, here's exactly what I want, here's the format…" The other is basically opening voice mode and saying, "Okay, I need help with this thing…" I do both, but I’m curious which one people naturally prefer. Also, for the prompts you do write, are they things you create from scratch each time, or do you have a few that you keep around and reuse? Interested in hearing what people actually do, rather than what they're "supposed" to do. submitted by /u/Prudent-Bad-8786 [link] [comments]

Point out gaps, add examples, and define the output format you want more precisely.
