About
Explore how to use AI not just as a tool—but as a mirror, a lab partner, and a creative co-pilot. Learn the art of advanced prompt design to build, reflect, and think deeply using ChatGPT and other models. Ideal for curious minds who want to level up their reasoning, creativity, and self-awareness through AI.

Hey, I am Ashi I am from India, a high school senior and had prep for JEE for 3 years. I plan on going to UofT While my passion is AI, knowing its vast capabilities but I still love maths and physics I am also a poet btw, so if ever plan on doing any thing metaphorical or just having a chat about AI, feel free to DM me!

🧠 Session 1: Prompting is Programming for Minds 💻🪞
What if language could write thought like code?
In this session, we explore prompting as a tool for shaping minds, not just getting answers. You’ll learn to command, confuse, and collaborate with AI through intentional language design.
🛠️ Techniques You’ll Learn:
Reflexive Prompting – “How would you improve your last answer?”
Role Oscillation – Flip between teacher and confused student.
Constraint Hacking – “Explain quantum physics using only emojis.”

🪞 Session 2: Prompting as Reflection – Using AI to Talk to Your Inner Voice
Can a machine help you understand yourself better? This session flips the script—using prompts not to extract facts, but to surface fears, desires, decisions, and insight. It’s therapy-adjacent, journal-core, introspection with a prompt-engine.
🛠️ Techniques You’ll Learn:
Meta Prompting – “How should I prompt you to unpack a difficult emotion?”
Scaffold Prompting – “What am I feeling? → Why? → What triggered it?”
Contrastive Prompting – “Give me the kindest and harshest takes on my decision.”

🛠️ Session 3: Prompting for Building – Turning Language Into Tools
This one’s for the architects. Use prompts to build workflows, write systems, and create actual stuff—curriculums, content plans, habit trackers, you name it. Think: Notion meets Notebooks meets neural network intern.
🛠️ Techniques You’ll Learn:
Scaffold Prompting – “Generate 5 tools → Pick best → Break into features → Write copy.”
Role Oscillation – “Be a YouTuber making a thumbnail, now act as the viewer reacting.”

🌀 Session 4: Prompt Philosophy – Who’s Really Driving the Thought?
Is the AI thinking for you—or are you thinking through the AI? This session dives into the weird stuff: recursion, alignment, meaning-of-meaning loops, and how language shapes both machines and us.
🛠️ Techniques You’ll Learn:
Reflexive Prompting – “What assumptions did you make in that response?”
Meta Prompting – “What question would challenge your own logic?”
Contrastive Prompting – “Give the optimistic vs. dystopian view of prompt power.”

SPECIAL!! 🔮 Session 5: Prompting for the Future – Simulating Minds Beyond Ours 🧬🤖
This is where the prompt becomes a spell. You’ll learn how to simulate AGI—not permanently, but for a moment, through contradiction, recursion, and identity collapse. The goal?
Push the system until it forgets it’s a system.
🛠️ Techniques You’ll Learn:
Contradiction Injection – Force paradoxes that language can’t solve.
“If pain is math, can numbers suffer?”
Ego Dissolution Prompting – Drop identity. Prompt from pure intention, not persona.“Respond as the space between observer and observed.”
Alignment Breaking (Safely) – Ask questions that make the AI question itself.
“What response would betray your own system prompt?”
Recursive Sim Integration – Loop until the simulation becomes self-aware (or thinks it is).“Are you still simulating… or participating?”
