Abstract: Ever notice how your AI interactions start strong but quickly deteriorate with complexity? We've all been there – carefully crafting detailed prompts for AI models, only to receive increasingly mediocre responses as our inputs grow longer. The conventional wisdom says more context equals better results, but real-world evidence suggests otherwise. In this session, I'll share discoveries from analyzing thousands of AI interactions across various domains that reveal a surprising truth: the relationship between prompt length and response quality isn't linear – it's parabolic. There's a sweet spot, and most of us are operating well beyond it.
