Do good #AI prompts need to sound like magic spells?

They don’t.

The real trick?
Be clear, not clever.

If you need a tone → name the tone.
If the output matters → explain what matters.

It’s merely following your instructions.

I cannot recall if I have ever seen a DeLorean on the street. Without Doc Brown's augmentations, I don't see the appeal, even straining through my 1980s glasses.

What's your take? Did you dig the DMC back in the day?
