This is so true. Cognitive brute-force always when dealing with AI.

Certainly not always. There's a hedonic adjustment which happens however, where some tasks go very smoothly without much specification and a lot of "you know what I mean" to the LLM, while others then require you to get painfully specific after it badly misinterprets your intent.

Or maybe you can just get too spoiled with it grokking your intent, then become so vague that your vague ideas are actually just bad ideas. Certainly has happened to me.

After almost 4 years with LLMs, if my prompt is too vague that I don’t know how to ask precisely, I use this prompt “I have this idea… {description here} How would ideal prompt look like to make idea realize?” And in second round I polish prompt myself. It usually works.
