AI creators are now using prompts that sound confident but mean very little

Hamel Husain is joking about the kinds of prompts people hand to AI agents when they want to sound like a “top 1% AI creator.”
The examples are intentionally overconfident and slightly absurd, such as:
- “wow you fixed everything? i have doubts, do another check please.”
- “go ahead and implement the onboarding flow… and make no mistakes”
- “you seem very confident. are you sure you don't want to ask me any questions before you start worki...”
It reads like a satire of modern agent prompting culture: users try to sound authoritative, but the actual prompt quality is often comically unhelpful.
