AI Prompt Engineering with Modestly Structured Brainstorming: Making Your Economics Reading Passages More Appealing

Part of that way of thinking is embodied in the language we use; not just the jargon, but also the structure of our arguments and the way we present examples.

We suggest asking AI to rewrite material as if it was coming from an author with a different Myers-Briggs personality.
