- The Cure for Boring AI Content
You can make any topic, no matter how dull, absolutely fascinating with the right AI prompt!
I’ve spent ages trying to get AI to write something compelling about dry subjects like quarterly budget reports, only to get back a wall of text that’s just as boring as the source material. Then I saw an incredible post from this savvy professional that cracked the code.

The secret isn’t some complex, multi-page prompt. It’s about using simple, powerful framing questions that force the AI to look for stories, patterns, and hidden connections. The mind behind it explains that this method hijacks our pattern-seeking brains, making anything from office coffee machines to filing taxes genuinely interesting.
Here are the core strategies that blew me away:
Find the Hidden Story.
Instead of asking for a summary, ask for the narrative. The original poster suggests using prompts like, “What’s the hidden story behind…?” or “How is [boring thing] secretly a survival skill?” This reframes facts into a compelling tale of psychology, economics, or power dynamics.
Adopt an Outsider’s View.
We’re often too close to a topic to see its absurdity. The creator recommends asking, “What would an alien anthropologist notice about…?” This immediately surfaces the strange rituals and assumptions we take for granted. The example of an alien analyzing LinkedIn is pure gold.

Connect to Human Nature.
The most powerful move is to make it profound. The post’s author suggests ending prompts with, “What does this reveal about human nature?” This simple addition elevates any topic, turning a mundane observation into a window into who we are.
The best part is combining these angles. The person who shared it gave this amazing example for analyzing something as simple as email signatures:
“What’s the hidden story behind email signatures? What would an alien anthropologist notice? What does this reveal about human nature?”
I’m already using these tricks to supercharge my own AI explorations. The full post includes six of these frameworks and is packed with more awesome examples.
