 *How I went from typing "Hello" and waiting for magic to happen, to actually jamming with an AI*
 
 ## The Moment I Realized I Was Doing It All Wrong
 
 Picture this: It's 2024, everyone's talking about AI, and I'm sitting here staring at a blank Claude chat like it's 1998 and I just logged into AOL Instant Messenger for the first time. Or maybe you remember that feeling from your first text message, or setting up BBM on your BlackBerry, or even just joining a new Discord server. You know that moment - cursor blinking, not sure if you're supposed to say "hey" or just dive right into whatever you need.
 
-The thing is, we've all learned how to talk to technology before. Whether it was figuring out AIM screen names, mastering the art of T9 texting without looking, or learning that BlackBerry PIN messages were somehow more official than regular texts - we've always had to figure out the social rules of new communication tech.
+<Aside type="note">
+We've all learned how to talk to technology before - from AIM screen names to T9 texting to BlackBerry PINs. With AI, we just need to remember those conversation skills!
+</Aside>
 
 But with AI? I completely forgot everything I knew about starting conversations.
 
 My first attempt? Pathetic. I typed "Write me a blog post about coffee" and hit enter. Claude dutifully cranked out 500 words of generic coffee content that could have been written by any marketing intern with a caffeine addiction. It was... fine. Technically correct. Completely soulless.
 
-That's when I realized I was treating Claude like a really expensive typewriter instead of what it actually is: a conversation partner who happens to be really good at thinking through problems with you.

+</Aside>
 
 ## Let's Try Two Different Approaches
 
 I want to show you something. We're going to try the same request two different ways, and I want you to notice what happens.
 
-**First approach:**
-"Lookup coffee culture and summarize it."
+<Tabs>
+<TabItem label="❌ Generic Approach">
+<Code code={`"Lookup coffee culture and summarize it."`} lang="text" title="What most people try first" />
 
-Go ahead, try that with Claude. See what you get.
+Go ahead, try that with Claude. See what you get. It'll be... fine. Generic. Forgettable.
+</TabItem>
 
-**Now try this approach:**
-"Yo buddy! Can't wait to talk to you about coffee culture - I'm thinking about writing something for my personal blog, but honestly I'm kind of tired of the whole 'third wave' narrative everyone keeps repeating. What angle am I missing here?"
+<TabItem label="✅ Conversational Approach">
+<Code code={`"Yo buddy! Can't wait to talk to you about coffee culture - I'm thinking about writing something for my personal blog, but honestly I'm kind of tired of the whole 'third wave' narrative everyone keeps repeating. What angle am I missing here?"`} lang="text" title="A real conversation starter" />
+
+Notice the difference? Context, personality, specific direction, and genuine curiosity.
+</TabItem>
+</Tabs>
 
 Try that one too. Notice the difference in what Claude gives you back.
