A useful business conversation that illustrates how AI is only as effective as its human lead<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a part of business already. Owners and leaders are using AI tools to save time in organization, communication, and customer experience. They\u2019re hiring people to work with AI and are looking gleefully into a future where they can do twice the work, better.<\/p>\n

But in most cases, they\u2019re experiencing that their AI models are just bringing garbage in faster. (Sound familiar?) Written in collaboration with Claude AI by Anthropic, Claude Hanhart makes the case for prompting AI with his VERB + NOUN framework and training it with far more specific detail than they\u2019re currently doing.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanhart handed over his knowledge and ideas, gained from his human experiences and education, to Claude by Anthropic. His first book, Connecting Goals to Impacts and Outcomes<\/em>, was a big part of that. He gave the AI his voice rules, his positioning, his style, and his book. But he didn\u2019t stop with that first conversation. He continued talking to it, stress testing it, refining it, and improving the AI\u2019s knowledge of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then he asked Claude by Anthropic to write it. It did it in under a minute.<\/p>\n

Garbage In, Faster<\/em> aims to prove that it\u2019s the Conversation Architect who makes the AI product stronger, not the inherent code, structure, and ability of the AI itself. The result is direct and well-informed\u2014an AI book on achieving stronger communication and saving time for businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Written by AI, it\u2019s a product that practices what it preaches. It\u2019s meant to be read and understood alongside Hanhart\u2019s first book, which is about communicating more directly about needs and removing vague buzzphrases from company meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like those meetings, AI models also produce some of that same empty phrasing like \u201cimprove the customer experience\u201d if not given a more structured outline of what it means. We have to be direct with AI if we want to be direct with our employees and coworkers. If you are using AI in your business and trying to implement Hanhart\u2019s practical advice in your structure, you\u2019ll want to read this companion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only thing is\u2014the prose can be distracting. Once you learn the book is written by AI in under a minute, even if fed hours of conversations before then, it\u2019s hard to give complete trust over to the prose. The sentences are littered with noticeable AI tics, like defining an idea or a process by first saying what it is not, or overemphasis on catchy, short sentences at the ends of paragraphs. It reads like AI Claude trying to be real Claude.<\/p>\n

Technical details aside, there\u2019s fluff and repetition as well. Even though Hanhart spent time talking and drilling the information into the AI model, it can still feel like we\u2019re reading an overly long conversation response in an AI dashboard, structured to make it read easier, but ultimately circling similar points for longer than we need it to. The book would be most effective if Claude AI really did side-step the empty phrases like Hanhart said it could, but there are still some sections and paragraphs here that counter his point.<\/p>\n

Garbage In, Faster <\/em>is clear in its goal and structured in a truly digestible way. It\u2019s important to give time and knowledge\u2014gained from human experience and education\u2014to the model so that work communication can improve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to take advantage of what AI can do for your business but you keep coming up with empty results, this companion will be a useful tool. It isn\u2019t perfect\u2014like AI models aren\u2019t\u2014but it\u2019s a conversation that will clear up how to actually improve vague communication and turn \u201cimprove customer experience\u201d into \u201creduce checkout abandonment by 15%.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
