The AI expert
When somebody sells themselves as the AI expert, most of the time they are running a process you could run yourself. One or two paragraphs of words, sent out, and sold back to you as expertise. Ask for the prompt.

Someone sells you the AI expert
Somebody comes to you and says: I am the expert, I am the AI master. Let me do it for you.
In my experience, ninety-nine percent of the time they are doing one thing. They are running a process, a few steps, on your behalf. And they are charging you for the expertise, not for the steps.
Before you pay, ask one question: what exactly will you do? The honest answer is usually short.
What is the AI expert actually doing? Prompt it yourself
Here is what an AI expert offered to do for me, in their words. Break it into the steps they would actually run, and tell me which steps I could run myself.
One paragraph or two
What is behind most of these services is a paragraph or two of words. A prompt. They send it, they get the result, and they send the result out to you with their name on it.
That is not a crime. It is a service, and some people want it. But it is not expertise, and it is not worth what expertise costs. A prompt is a thing you can own.
If you paid for the result once, ask for the prompt. The prompt is the product. The result is just one run of it.
Why is the prompt worth more than the result? Prompt it yourself
Write me the prompt that would produce this result from my own material, so I can run it myself next time.
I can help you build yours
I build things like this with an AI agent, on my own computer. In a private session I help you do the same with your idea. Or bring it to the show, free.
Run it yourself
The point of this channel is in the name. Once you know the steps are a prompt, you can prompt it yourself. The first time takes an hour. Every time after that takes a minute, and the money stays with you.
Real expertise still exists. It looks like someone who teaches you the prompt, or who does the part the prompt cannot. If they will not show you the steps, you have your answer.
What would this look like for my work? Prompt it yourself
Take this prompt and run it on my material. Then tell me what you would change for my case, and why.
Start with the thing you were about to pay for
Take the next AI service someone offers you. Ask what the steps are. Ask the agent to write those steps as a prompt. Run it. Then decide whether you still need the expert.
What do I do next? Prompt it yourself
Here is a service I was about to pay for. Write the prompt behind it and run it on my material, so I can see what I would be paying for.
