ChatGPT as Our Running Coach: What We Had to Fix
from Out of Our Depth Hosted by Mary and Josh
We need to prepare for El Cruce, a three-day mountain race. Mary wants a coach, cute gear and the logistics handled. Surely AI can sort all that out… right? We turn a messy brainstorm into ChatGPT project instructions, compare voice with dictation, and build a training website we actually want to use. The first version needs work. So do our instructions. Along the way, we figure out how to give AI useful context, bring examples of what we like, ask for a plan before it starts building, and stop when something is good enough. Plus a few reminders that learning AI together can get chaotic. Try this on your own project: give AI your goals and constraints, ask what information is missing, then request three possible output formats before it starts building. 00:00 Our adventure and the AI brief 04:35 Turn a brainstorm into useful context 09:09 Save instructions and test voice 12:23 Ask for a plan before it builds 14:14 What the AI asks before planning 16:23 Your taste belongs in the prompt 18:19 Bring examples the AI can use 20:06 Review the first result 21:56 Define what good enough means 23:52 A website we want to use 25:18 Share the website 27:15 Now for the logistics 28:32 Better thinking beats more prompting 31:52 Good enough and learning together
