Over the last year or so, we’ve seen an explosion in generative AI tools across every platform imaginable. Some integrations felt intentional. Others were clearly rushed, often tacked on with little thought for how people actually use AI in real workflows. One challenge I kept running into was this ongoing tension between standalone AI tools […]
A trapdoor prompt is an input designed to trigger a specific output from a language model, without using any of the words in that output. It’s not a guess and not a coincidence. It’s a byproduct of how models memorize fragments of their training data and the way those fragments can be resurfaced with the […]
Over the past 6 months, in between contract gigs, client work and The Alib.ai, I’ve been spending a lot of time exploring what’s possible with generative AI. Not just playing around with ChatGPT or generating cool images with Midjourney, but really digging into what you can build with these tools. Like, how fast can I […]
I’ve been using ChatGPT to write code since 3.5 and most recently have been leaning heavily on the 4o model. I’ve also experimented with o1-preview and 4o with canvas. Whether it’s setting up build pipelines, generating code from scratch or refactoring large blocks of code, ChatGPT has changed everything about how I work and write […]
When I began exploring AI prompt engineering, I quickly realized that how I structured my prompts significantly impacted the quality of the AI’s output. A crucial aspect of this structuring was the use of delimiters, specific sequences of characters like —, ### and |||, to organize and clarify the instructions given to AI models like […]
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, prompt engineering stands out as an essential skill for the future. It allows you to shape the responses of AI models to produce the desired outputs. Whether you’re a seasoned AI expert or a newcomer just starting to explore the field, refining your prompt engineering techniques can […]
I shared in my previous post, about my experience using ChatGPT to plan my honeymoon, that I was also experimenting with AI text to image technologies. One specific thing I’ve been working on is generating professional looking headshots based on a few selfies that I had taken on my phone. This post will get a […]
