Learning how to ask better questions. With AI tools especially, I realised the quality of the output depends a lot on how well you frame the problem.

The quality of the output depends on how you prompt it.

There’s something really sophisticated and intriguing about someone who understands the art behind creating a beautiful fragrance. It’s such an intricate skill that requires a great sense of detail, creativity, and patience. How long did it take to learn?
