Your AI isn’t expensive. Your prompts are.

Every vague instruction creates compute churn — more tokens, more retries, more GPU burn. Most teams don’t notice the cost compounding until the bill shows up.

In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT’s Liz Gattra breaks down the invisible tax of bad prompt engineering — and how AI literacy becomes a cost-control strategy as generative AI moves into production.

We cover:
• Why vague prompts silently erode ROI
• A practical prompt blueprint that improves outputs fast
• How to reduce token spend without downgrading models
• When to switch between ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude
• Why system prompts, agents, and context engineering determine whether AI scales — or spirals

Most teams upgrade models.

The smarter teams upgrade thinking.

Precision compounds.
So does cost.

Stop paying the invisible tax.
