I’ve had a fair amount of success with using AI prompts to refine my AI prompts. Interested in trying this yourself? Generative AI for Dummies, a book I recently reviewed for LLRX, has some good ideas for getting started.

Nothing in that book nor anything I’ve come up with myself is as elegant as one drafted by Eric Porres, recently shared by his friend Jeremy Utley recently shared on LinkedIn:

Hey, I’d like to consult you as an AI expert. I would like your help to identify ways to leverage AI in my day-to-day work. Would you please interview me asking only one question at a time until you have enough context about my work responsibilities and daily tasks and workflows and KPIs such that you could make what you consider to be two obvious recommendations and two or three non-obvious recommendations for how to leverage generative AI.” (literally copy/paste this into chat)

BTW, I’ve been wondering why more people are not sharing their best prompts. Way back in the early days of the Internet, one of the best ways to develop a reputation as an expert was to share your expertise in the form of checklists, etc. I hope to share my collection here in the not-too-distant future.

Surely other lawyers have been doing this already. I haven’t found many yet. Where are they?

Maybe this is a project for Dennis Kennedy’s students at the Michigan State University Center for Law, Technology and Innovation?
