I switched to Claude few month back. Free plan (Lol, it is expensive annually). The limits are real tbh. Sometimes one prompt, maybe two, and you’re done for the day.
So you have to stop being lazy with words. You should say exactly what you mean, what you need, what format, what it is, and what is not. Not because someone taught you prompt engineering, because there’s no retry. You have to wait for hours.
And it works. I am not sure if any other model produces this good.
Meanwhile, we have hundreds of languages, emojis, symbols, voice notes, everything. More ways to express ourselves than ever. And we’re still somehow unclear with the people closest to us.
Maybe, are the unlimited retries the problem? Someone will ask again. They will still be there tomorrow. So the first attempt gets sloppy. Of course, humans do have emotions, past, present and future. I am not denying the fact, but that shouldn’t be a reason.
Is it way to avoid saying the hard thing precisely because saying it clearly would make it real?
The AI just makes the cost visible. With people, it costs something else and the bill comes later.
Cheers!
