10 Things I Wish Someone Taught Me Before Using AI

A free guide to staying human while working with smart tools

(Instant download, no weird follow-up spam)

You don’t need to become a robot to work with one.


This quick, soulful guide distills what I’ve learned after hundreds of hours using AI in my studio—what actually works, what no one tells you, and how to use GPT as a creative partner (not a bossy robot or a soulless copy machine).

If you’ve ever opened ChatGPT and thought:


“How do I even talk to this thing?”

Or

“Why does it sound weird and nothing like me?”


This is for you.

What’s Inside:

  • The metaphors that finally made AI click (intern, sous chef, mirror…)

  • Real ways to stay in control (and not get bossed around by your GPT)

  • Practical prompts for slowing down, sorting your thoughts, and sounding more you

  • My favorite ways to use tone, structure, and repeatable language without feeling canned

This guide is for you if…

  • You want to use AI but don’t want to lose your voice

  • You’ve tried prompting before and got “meh” results

  • You’re curious, creative, or a little overwhelmed by the tech talk

  • You care more about alignment than algorithms
