Modern AI chat tools are powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), which are sophisticated systems trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like responses. LLMs like ChatGPT , Claude , and Gemini don't truly "understand" in the human sense, but they excel at recognizing patterns in language and predicting what text should come next based on your input. This is why the quality of your prompt matters so much. The AI model can only work with what yo

And What Happened to CoT Prompting? Prefer to listen to this article instead? I used ElevenLabs TTS  to create this narration. Check them out using my affiliate link, here . "Think step by step" ...was once great prompt engineering advice, but now seems to have little to no effect. In fact, what if I told you that this technique, at best, has little effect on output quality, and at worst, increases costs, latency, and may even reduce the accuracy of your response? It decreas
