Why does AI work better when I treat it like a person?
I find it so much easier to approach it as a person than a tool. It's kind of like an intern: you want to make sure they're thinking it through, and that you understand their thinking. Asking it to reflect back what it's doing actually makes it do it better.
What I said in the video
I don't know how to explain it because like Claude is a bit weird because like I tend to find it easier to approach it as a person in a way because it's like it's kind of like an intern like you want to just like kind of help them you know like yeah make sure that they're thinking through
it and you understand their thinking so it's like saying things like or asking it to kind of like reflect back what it's doing actually makes it do it better which is kind of weird but that's how it works so it's like if you keep like asking it or telling it to explain what it's doing or what it
did you don't have to do that all the time obviously but like right or like if you have like a large portion of um if you've done like a long session and you will start seeing on the bottom right corner you'll start seeing like um what does it say something like low context uh hitting low context or
something it has like a percentage so when you start seeing like lower context so you've used most of the context of the ai's context window that's um that's when you want to save because otherwise it will compact the whole conversation that you have and you won't be able to decide what it saves and what it compacts it's
going to make that decision for you right but if you tell it to save it yourself like throughout the conversation and it's just like say like save all and then it will just save it according to the rules that you have put in place right um i tend to do that just to it's it's like saving in
general like it's good practice to keep saving when you feel like okay now I've done something that's like worth worth saving but you don't need to keep asking it to like reflect it back for example it's more in the big thing when you're still getting used to and like kind of crafting and designing the system because then
you also understand better like how it looks at it you know because it will like this is where i put it and then like oh okay that's where it lives so then if you notice like okay it's doing something weird you know where it is because you've heard that from Claude so it's kind of like getting to
know each other kind of yeah yeah it's very funny but like i find it so much easier to approach it as a person than a tool like the tool tool side it's just it doesn't apply that well to working with it i find
