Although much of what I post about ‘AI’ is sceptical, I am in fact a daily user. Whether it is for helping with technical matters, or sorting out my thinking on some topic or other, I find Google’s Gemini particularly useful.

What I have found though is that sometimes I don’t even need to press ‘enter’ on my prompts. Any regular user of these tools knows that the more you give them, the better the results, with the impact that prompts are often quite long, and include an awful lot of information.

Occasionally, just the simple act of explaining an issue for the purposes of the prompt is enough to provide the answer in itself, so as I say, I don’t even need to hit enter. And hopefully save a tree or two in the process.
