The Best Prompts Are AI-Generated Prompts

With infinite answers now available, asking the right question becomes priceless.

Most people think prompt engineering is about getting better at telling AI what to do.

But the real power move is asking AI what it needs from you.

With infinite information on tap, AI doesn’t struggle with answers.

It struggles with ambiguity.

Precision gives it power. The sharper your prompt, the smarter your AI responds.

To get the smartest prompts, ask AI to generate the prompt for you. Then copy/paste the prompt immediately.

Escher AI

In a February 2024 study in the Journal of Web Engineering, they found an 11.46% improvement in performance by using a Query Transformation Module—a fancy way of saying:

Let AI refine the question before it answers it.

Telling an AI what you want is fine, but there’s not a lot of leverage there.

Showing is better, but it’s not as sharp as possible.

Asking AI to give you the best prompt is the point of greatest leverage.

This creates a feedback loop, like how regenerative braking charges a car battery. The more you do it, the more power you store.
