Prompting Like a Pro: The Art of Talking to AI

from Just Lori, I Can Only Be Me! · host Valora Richardson

AI ain’t broken.Most of us just don’t know how to talk to it yet.In this episode of Just Lori, I Can Only Be Me, I’m walking you through why so many people try AI once, get something basic or weird, and decide, “Yeah… this ain’t for me.” Spoiler alert: it’s not the tool—it’s the instructions.When I first started, I was doing the same thing. Typing in stuff like, “Create an image of a woman.” And what came back? Plain. Forgettable. No soul.Then it clicked.That’s like walking into a restaurant and saying, “I want food.”Okay… but what kind?AI works the same way. The clearer you are, the better it responds.In this episode, I break down:• Why vague prompts give you trash results• My 5-part prompt formula (the same one I teach inside M.U.S.E. Method Academy)• How using more vivid, human language changes everything• Why your first result isn’t supposed to be perfect• And why your voice is the part AI can never replaceWe talk about prompting like you’re painting a picture—not barking orders. About adjusting, refining, and having an actual conversation instead of giving up after one try.I also share a scripture that grounds this whole conversation:“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” — Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)Your words matter. Period.To people. To systems. To AI.Before you finish this episode, I want you to try it for yourself. Create a prompt this week and tell me how it went. Call the Just Lori Listener Line at 872-262-7418 and share what you made—or where you got stuck.And if you’re ready to really learn this stuff without feeling overwhelmed, I’d love to have you inside the M.U.S.E. Method Academy on Skool. That’s where I teach creatives how to:• Use AI without fear• Turn ideas into actual products• Simplify their systems• And show up confidently as themselvesDetails are at bit.ly/JustLoriPodcast.
