what's interesting is that if you get a paid version of gpt (example), you can ask it to teach you the very thing you are looking to learn. mention that you are aware it is a meta topic. maybe a course could help assuming you lack the confidence to begin, understandable, but know that many doors open from experience itself. the best things when it comes to prompts, is the reverse engineering prompts, tell it what you are about to do, what you want/are interested in and say that you want crafted a prompt that will take care of those things, simply put your word-salad in a wall-text if you must, and let it do its thing. then you can copy paste the result/reply-prompt from AI back to it, or in another chat session, and go from there. ask sometimes after long discussions, "what am i missing/not thinking about asking you but i should?". also, know that most AI when fresh accounts, they are sterile, but once you build a history of chats with it, it becomes a mirror with a mind, you will understand in time. enjoy the process!
