Most people think AI is dumb. In reality, their prompts are dumb.

In this episode, we break down prompt engineering for business leaders — showing you how to turn ChatGPT (and any AI tool) into a consultant that gives clear, useful, and tailored answers.

👉 What you’ll learn:

• Why AI gives generic, fluffy answers (and how to stop it)
• 4 prompt frameworks you can steal today: S.C.O.R.E, T.E.A.C.H, R.A.F.T, S.T.A.R
• How to brief AI like you’d brief a senior consultant or strategist
• Real business examples: crafting better strategies, client emails, and profitability plans

Why it matters: AI is only as good as your prompts. If you run a business, lead a team, or just want smarter answers, this episode shows you how to stop wasting time — and start getting results.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI comes with “Spicy” and “Unhinged” modes — including flirty voice chats, foul-mouthed rants, and even celebrity deepfakes. Aamir and Davina put it to the test… then ask the harder question: what happens when businesses start using unregulated models like this at work?

Along the way we dig into:
• What’s new with GPT-5 (and why its “PhD-level” reasoning is a genuine leap forward)
• Australia’s AI Adoption Report — and why construction + manufacturing are falling behind
• The basics of Responsible AI (half of businesses aren’t even checking outputs before sending them to customers 😳)
• Why the next wave isn’t just chatbots — it’s agents that can take actions on your behalf

Why it matters: flashy features aren’t the same as safe features. If you run a business, the wrong AI could put your data, your reputation, and even your customers at risk.

“Vibe coding” — telling an AI tool to spin up a whole app from a simple prompt — feels like magic.

Tools like Bolt, Lovable, and Replit can generate working apps in minutes and even auto-deploy them. But here’s the catch: vibe-coded apps often lack security, testing, and solid architecture.

In this Dumb Monkey deep dive, Aamir Qutub unpacks when AI vibe coding is useful (rapid prototypes, one-off internal tools, research dashboards) and when it’s dangerous (anything customer-facing or handling sensitive data).

We also explore how senior developers pairing AI assistants like Cursor or Claude can hit 80% efficiency gains without the risks. Leaders will walk away with a clear line between playful vibes and production-ready AI for business.

AI is powerful, but out of the box it’s just… generic. In this reflection episode of the Dumb Monkey Podcast, Aamir Qutub explains how to personalise ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot so they understand your preferences, tone, and guardrails. By teaching your AI assistant who you are — what you like, what you avoid, how you want things phrased — you can transform these tools from basic chatbots into trusted business partners. Whether you want professional reports, cheeky social posts, or clear internal updates, AI can adapt to your style. This is how leaders save time, reduce misfires, and finally get practical value from AI.
