This video explains how to transition from being AI-curious or AI-literate to being AI-native. It outlines three core strategies: leaving AI breadcrumbs, building an AI swipe file system, and AI-first task planning, along with a bonus habit of maintaining a prompts database. The goal is to help viewers integrate AI seamlessly into their workflows.
The term "swipe file" originates from copywriting and marketing, where professionals would collect examples of advertisements, articles, or other content they found effective. They would then "swipe" or borrow elements, structures, or ideas from these examples to use in their own work. In the context of AI, the speaker adapts this concept by suggesting users collect and analyze examples of excellent AI-generated output or well-structured content to inform and improve their own AI interactions and outputs.
