Key takeaways
- We speak three to four times faster than we type, which saves time directly.
- Typing loses context, and context is the most important currency for AI.
- It's not the magic prompt that counts, but enough context and clear guidance.
I'm three times faster at prompting than most, and the reason is unspectacular: I don't type, I speak. We talk about three to four times faster than we type. But speed is only half the win.
Context is the most important currency
When typing, you unconsciously cut corners. Out of convenience only a fraction of the thought lands in the prompt, and exactly that missing context is what leads to mediocre AI results.
Dictate and the whole thought comes out, including the side notes, the why and the examples. From this apparent rambling the AI then builds protocols, concepts or processes. Raw material becomes gold.
It's not the magic prompt that counts
Hunting for the perfect prompt formula is a dead end. What matters isn't the magic line but enough context and clear guidance. Dictating is the easiest way to deliver both.
It's the same principle as working AI-powered in general: AI gets better through context and guidance, not through tricks. Dictating is just the fastest lever for it.
