In its current state, artificial intelligence takes whatever you tell it very literally. As such, it is very easy to misdirect it into digital rabbit holes… which is the last thing you want, when time is very much money to your business. This is precisely why it is so crucial that we become adept at properly prompting the AI models we use.
