# Prompting You to Consider Authenticity in the AI Age

On this inspirational Sunday (Easter if you celebrate), I offer a cautionary poem for the generative AI moment we're in...

**It’s All About The Prompts, ’Bout The Prompts**

They asked the box to dream for them,  
and it did—plastic Hasbro castles and candy skies.  
Likes rolled in. Applause echoed.

Meanwhile, the ground quakes.  
AI is reshaping industries, rewriting rules.  
And here we are,  
chasing superficial likes.

It is, in fact, all about the prompts.  
The future is being written.  
Think harder.  
Because your brand will wear  
what you dress it in today—  
and tomorrow’s human audience is keeping tabs.

*(and now you’ve got Meghan Trainor’s ‘it’s all about that bass’ in your head, amIright?)*

---

### Dilemma: What should we do about AI? (The proverbial we—brands, marketers, creators, humans…)

Exploring, learning, playing, and then remembering who it’s all for makes total sense.   
With that in mind, let’s explore ways to play with generative AI to learn its SWOT and then…  
*always present your findings with your authentic voice.*

Full disclosure: I borrowed tips from other thought-leaders talking about this and even asked my BFF, ChatGPT, which I nicknamed chIQ (pronounced chick 🐣 😏), for the ‘best of the best.

### **🎯 Top 5 AI Prompt Types**

**These are my current favs to learn generative tools.   
It’s also "interesting" to try the same prompts across the different tools to compare results.   
(ChatGPT is still the best IMO.)**

**1 Point of View Expansion Prompts**

“Please take the current debate about \[insert Topic\] and develop a nuanced opinion that challenges the dominant narrative. Back it with recent examples, future trends, and sources.”

→ *Why this works:*   
It forces AI to **build a stance**, not just summarize noise.   
Apparently, this makes people stop scrolling. Or at least some people, maybe even the right people identified in your ICP (Ideal Client Profile)!

**2 Case Study/Scenario Prompts**

“Please write a hypothetical scenario where \[insert Industry/Trend\] changes dramatically because of \[X technology or trend\]. Frame it as if advising an executive audience.”

→ *Why this works:*   
Storytelling works, even in business context. Especially if it’s actionable. Why?   
We are programmed to love a good story…well except perhaps AI?…and a few other questionable humans lacking character and kindness.

**3 Framework/Model Creation Prompts**

“Based on current trends in \[insert Industry\], please propose a 3-part framework that organizations can use to adapt to \[insert Challenge\]. Each part should include action steps.”

→ *Why this works:*   
People LOVE models (no, not the runway kind). It positions you as the *architect* of thinking, not just the repeater of it.  
*(Think: Gartner Hype Cycle-level authority.)*

**4 Contrarian Angle Prompts**

“Please summarize the conventional wisdom about \[insert Topic\], then take a contrarian but well-supported position. Defend it in under 300 words.”

→ *Why this works:*   
Everyone sounds the same until someone intelligently says, "But what if we’re wrong?" That’s the birth of authentic thought leadership.

**5 First-Person Narrative Prompts**

“Please write a first-person reflection on the future of \[insert Industry/Trend\] in the voice of a \[Founder, CMO, CISO, etc.\], showing real vulnerability about what’s uncertain.”

→ *Why this works:*   
Vulnerability + vision is now a **superpower**. People crave *humanized expertise*, not brand robots, as stated above and worth repeating with a megaphone.

**Curious to know if you’ve tried these or others and what your results were?**

**Take note, I used PLEASE in all the prompts—putting kind back in #humankind. Plus, it's just smart to be polite to the machines. 😏**

### **Conclusion for This Sunday's Scoop: Choose Your Prompts Like You Choose Your Legacy.**

In a world of infinite content, *authenticity is differentiation.*  
Use the tools — but don’t let the tools use you.

Prompt wisely. Build thoughtfully. Brand bravely.

*P.S. Generative AI defined — in case you didn’t know or look it up yet:*

| Tool | What It “Generates” |
| --- | --- |
| **ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini** | Essays, emails, poems, strategic ideas, etc. (text) |
| **Midjourney / DALL·E** | Images and art (and it’s getting better and better!) |
| **Suno / Udio** | Music |
| **Runway / Sora** | Short videos |
| **GitHub Copilot** | Computer code |

Not to be confused with Agentic AI. If you want to learn more about that and how it's apparently going to disrupt SaaS ...(I’m still grappling with it myself)...
