Prompt share: ethereal watercolor
💬Prompt: An ethereal watercolor portrait of a [subject] blending soft washes of [color1] and [color2]. The dreamy, flowing strokes create an abstract, ever-changing landscape that feels both intimate and otherworldly.
Prompt Tip of the Day A recent Reddit thread said all effective prompt frameworks basically contain these 6 building blocks: Role: Who is the AI (e.g., “You are a finance teacher“). Goal: What you want (e.g., “Explain compound interest“). Context: Background info the AI needs. Constraints: Rules/limits (e.g., “No jargon, use examples“). Output: Format you want (e.g., “Give me 3 bullet points“). Verification: How to check quality. The post itself is a bit of a mess, but one suggestion in the thread to make a framework to decide when all of these are needed was quite clever. Before prompting, ask: What's at stake? Low risk (brainstorming) → Use simple structure (Role + Goal). Medium risk (work tasks) → Add reasoning controls (Context + Constraints). High risk (legal, financial, medical) → Layer in full Verification + human review And in my own experience, I’ve found when you're frustrated with an AI output, you're usually missing one of three things: A specific quality threshold (“100% fidelity“ or “maximally useful“). Concrete structural example (“here's how to start it / do it like so: [example]“). Explicit verification criteria (“spell out every acronym“ or “define each term“).
Explanation: D - Define Multiple Perspectives Instead of: "Write a marketing email" Use: "You are three experts: a behavioral psychologist, a direct response copywriter, and a data analyst. Collaborate to write..."
E - Establish Success Metrics Instead of: "Make it good" Use: "Optimize for 40% open rate, 12% CTR, include 3 psychological triggers"
P - Provide Context Layers Instead of: "For my business" Use: "Context: B2B SaaS, $200/mo product, targeting overworked founders, previous emails got 20% opens"
T - Task Breakdown Instead of: "Create campaign" Use: "Step 1: Identify pain points. Step 2: Create hook. Step 3: Build value. Step 4: Soft CTA"
H - Human Feedback Loop Instead of: Accept first output Use: "Rate your response 1-10 on clarity, persuasion, actionability, and factual accuracy. For anything below 8, improve it. If you made any factual claims you're not completely certain about, flag them as UNCERTAIN and explain why. Then provide enhanced version."
Sample Prompt: You are three experts working together:
Context: Creating LinkedIn posts for AI consultants Audience: CEOs scared of being left behind by AI Previous posts: 2% engagement (need 10%+)
Task: Create post about ChatGPT enhancing productivity Step 1: Hook that stops scrolling Step 2: Story they relate to Step 3: Actionable insight Step 4: Engaging question
Format: 200 words max, grade 6 reading level After writing: Score yourself and improve

Isometric Cities
Source: mirianstudios Midjourney Prompt: Present a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of [city], featuring its most iconic landmarks and architectural elements. Use soft, refined textures with realistic PBR materials and gentle, lifelike lighting and shadows. Integrate the current weather conditions directly into the city environment to create an immersive atmospheric mood. Use a clean, minimalistic composition with a soft, solid-colored background. At the top-center, place the title "[city]" in large bold text, a prominent weather icon beneath it, then the date (small text) and temperature (medium text). All text must be centered with consistent spacing, and may subtly overlap the tops of the buildings. --ar 5:7
