🏴‍☠️ Role-Based Prompting

Ever get a response from an AI that’s just… meh? It’s technically correct, but it lacks any real personality or expert insight. I’ve been there, and it’s a huge creativity killer.

But what if you could give your AI a specific job, a personality, or even a backstory? That’s the magic of role-based prompting, and it’s a total game-changer for getting awesome results. Instead of a generic answer, you get a response from an expert.
