An MIT researcher, Michael Schrage, has distilled insights from hosting more than 100 "AI prompt-a-thons"—workshops where people experiment with crafting effective AI prompts. His big takeaway? It’s less about technical tricks and more about refining how we think and collaborate with AI to get better results.

Editor’s Note: As AI tools like ChatGPT become everyday aids, Schrage’s findings highlight a shift—mastering AI isn’t just about coding skills but learning to "think together" with it. For professionals, students, or curious users, this suggests the real edge comes from creativity and clarity, not just fancy prompts. It’s a reminder that the future of AI is deeply human.
