Think giving your chatbot a name is just for weirdos and sci-fi fans? Think again. In this episode, Emily Laird tosses out the dry tips and goes full Cast Away, explaining why talking to your AI like it’s a grumpy old professor (or a pirate, or Jeffrey the Roomba) isn’t just quirky, it’s the secret to getting answers that don’t suck. Discover why a dash of personality in your prompts unlocks smarter, sharper responses, and how science says we all secretly want our chatbots to have a favorite snack. By the end, you’ll be ready to give your LLM a tragic backstory and maybe, just maybe, start saying thank you to your dishwasher too.
