The Secret to Talking to Artificial Intelligence
Welcome to section 3.4! You have seen the tools, but here is the truth: what you get out of AI depends entirely on what you put into it. The secret lies in "the prompt." In this section, we will learn how to communicate with AI intentionally to get the exact materials we need.

Pay attention to the four main strategies for writing better prompts:
- Why is it better to say "Create a 5-question multiple-choice quiz on climate change for 10th graders" instead of just "Write a quiz"?
- How does giving the AI a "Role" (like an experienced science teacher) change its output?
- What does it mean to "refine and iterate" instead of just accepting the very first response the AI gives you?
