OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is urging people to rethink how they interact with ChatGPT, suggesting that the future of AI may involve far less prompt-writing than users are accustomed to.
In a 38-minute talk to Stanford students, Altman discussed how people can get significantly more out of ChatGPT by changing the way they approach the tool.
The conversation offers a glimpse into how AI use is evolving beyond simply typing carefully crafted instructions and waiting for an answer.
For many users, the difference could be substantial. Instead of treating ChatGPT like a search box, the goal is to use it as a more capable assistant that can reason through tasks, work with context and help execute ideas.
The recording has since been shared among users exploring more advanced ways to use ChatGPT, with some discovering that they may be using only a fraction of the toolâs capabilities.
The takeaway is simple: AI is becoming less about knowing the perfect prompt and more about knowing how to work with the technology.
