Example

For the article on the labor rights of holographic protopolymers, the following prompting approach was used:

Grounding

1. Requested list of materials and tasks associated with holography
2. Requested list of specifically organic materials used in holography; identified photopolymers as an interesting lead
3. Requested breakdown where in process photopolymers are used
4. Requested list of fair practices of labor compensation

Exploring

1. Requested a set of hypothetical fair labor practices that might be appreciated by the organic aspects of photopolymers (AI responded with caveat letting me know that photopolymers “don’t require labor practices or compensation.”)
2. Established that this is a speculative exercise, then selected three of the listed labor practices to explore in more detail with an academic article outline.

Building

1. Requested abstract from this hypothetical article
2. Requested introduction from hypothetical article, with note that “Since this is a fictional world, you can reference fictional events, experts, or legislation.”
3. Requested one additional paragraph for introduction to set it up for the case study that was to follow
4. Requested the “Fair Labor Practices for Photopolymers” section that was in the original outline.
5. Requested case study to be included, with at least one storytelling anecdote
6. Requested “Ethical Considerations” section from original outline
7. Requested “Future Implications” from original outline
8. Requested “Conclusion” from original outline
9. Requested “Appendices” from original outline
