Bro it’s June 2026. Stop hand editing your prompts. Hold down the dictation button and ramble for 10 minutes. Give the model every fragment, caveat, example, and vibe in your head. It is literally a large language model. If it’s superhuman at anything, it’s reconstructing latent intent from language.
Jason Liu, Instructor creator, and Boris Power argue recording unstructured voice dictation is more effective than hand-refining text prompts
LLMs parse the raw speech to extract latent intent.
Many users endorse dictating or rambling ideas straight into LLMs for richer prompts without over-editing, while others argue writing itself sharpens thinking and still requires careful refinement.

Very true. I find voice to be the best interface

@guinnesschen Probably that's the way to do it , but I'm too old to adapt. I'm not going to talk to a model, that's cringe. I need written input to structure my thought, even if the model doesn't need my thoughts to be structured. Alone for the sake of sanity.

@guinnesschen bruh

@guinnesschen This feature would be a lot better if we didn’t have to press a button at all. It’s 2026

@guinnesschen Exactly I still see people rumbling over "prompt engineering"
Best way is to just BRAIN DUMP your ideas into codex and then move according to plan

@guinnesschen well said. i’m writing a piece on this exact topic 👀

@guinnesschen

@ajambrosino @guinnesschen yeah me too

@guinnesschen Sometimes I like writing prompts just to show myself I can still do it

@TimTeaFan @guinnesschen I felt the same at first, but you adapt quickly. Most of the messages I send have a lot of ums and run-on sentences and stuff like that, but I just tell it to help articulate my thoughts and it rewords my ramblings better than I could have written them myself

@mdhalloran @guinnesschen its probably way faster than "thinking what I want to say" => "typing it in", but still a big hurdle to overcome the cringeness tbh.

@guinnesschen Only reason I still sometimes write my prompts is that writing helps me to explore and structure my thinking better than speaking

@guinnesschen You can do this with text input too if you can type 130WPM+ and have a true poaster’s soul

@guinnesschen Raw input through dictation is the best change to most workflows, not only faster to get everything out of your head but you create a corpus of your natural tone to help codex write like you think

@guinnesschen Disagree, writing is a form of thinking to sharpen your thought.

@guinnesschen Have at least doubled my speed by doing this. Zero filter, rambling, correcting myself and changing my mind mid sentence. It figures it all out

@guinnesschen Been Ramblemaxxing for a minute now!

@BorisMPower the future is definitely silent

@guinnesschen My best prompts are just me talking out loud lol

this is too edited bro like come on it's literally june 2026 right now and you're still out here hand-crafting these perfect little prompts like it's 2023 or something haha okay so imagine instead you just hold down that dictation button and just start yapping for like a full ten minutes straight you know what i mean pour out every random fragment that's floating in your head every little caveat every example that pops up every vibe or feeling you're going for don't worry about making it neat or structured or whatever just brain dump the whole mess like "okay so i want something that's kinda like this one thing i saw but not exactly and also remember that other example from last week and oh yeah watch out for this common mistake people make" and just keep going until everything's out there because dude it's a large language model it's literally built for this its whole superpower is taking all that messy natural language and figuring out the real latent intent behind it like reconstructing what you actually meant even if you didn't say it perfectly you feel me so yeah stop typing and polishing just talk at it and let the model do the magic
