Stop Optimising Every AI Prompt
You might be getting worse at using AI by trying to get better results from it.
Not because optimisation is bad.
Because if you analyse every interaction, reverse engineer every result, and chase the “perfect” prompt, you eventually stop experimenting.
And experimentation is where some of the most interesting AI discoveries happen.
Getting better results from AI is useful. Better prompts and thoughtful testing can improve the way you work with it.
But…
Optimising every interaction can strip away the best part of using AI: experimentation.
When people get an interesting result, they often stop to reverse-engineer it:
“What was the exact prompt?”
“How did you test it?”
“What variables did you change?”
“How can I make this more reliable?”
Those questions matter when you’re building a repeatable process. But they don’t need to lead the way every time.
Sometimes, keep exploring.
Change the prompt.
Ask the ridiculous question.
Give it terrible instructions.
Follow an unexpected answer down an interesting path.
Experimentation can take you somewhere optimisation never would.
You don’t have to turn every AI interaction into a prompt-engineering case study. When the only goal is the “best possible response”, you stop experimenting and start optimising.
And optimisation isn’t always the point.
Something to think about…
Sometimes, the point is simply to press the button and see what happens.
AI should help you think, create and explore not turn every moment of curiosity into a performance review.
