Prompt
I'm working on [task] and have already done [number] iterations with AI. Here's the latest output: [output]. Help me understand: (1) Has this output reached the maximum achievable via prompting? (2) Did recent iterations truly improve or just shift the problem? (3) What remains that only a human can do better? (4) If I were to do one last iteration, what would be the highest-impact prompt?
Expected Output
An output maturity analysis: whether it reached plateau, whether iterations are still productive, what needs human intervention, and a potential last high-impact prompt.
Limitations & Risks
AI has incentive to always suggest "one more iteration". Be critical of the response and trust your own judgment.
Variants
For long projects: "I've been using AI for hours on this project. Am I still productive or going in circles?"
