Quotes

[10:50] - “This is, I suppose, kind of a pro tip that someone taught me, but if you don’t know how to ask [AI], go into the program and say this is the outcome I want, help me write a prompt for that…that was a little mind blowing for me.” ~ Judith Peterson

[14:01] - “I think what’s interesting is that, right now, the trend that I see is that most people think transactionally with AI, with the public tools, they don’t think strategically…but…[you just need to] get in there and let it be messy…there’s zero perfection [necessary] with this..” ~ Judith Peterson
