Eidos Design. Vol. XXXIX: Why your "Umms" beat perfect prompts (and the app built on that) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello fellow designers, creatives, digital professionals and Eidos Design members!A year ago my prompts looked like legal contracts: numbered rules, role definitions, output formats, and a “do not” list longer than the task itself. Some weeks I’d run one AI tool just to polish the prompt I was about to feed another one. A prompt for the prompt. It felt like engineering.Lately that ritual works worse.
