AI Prompting Best Practices For Adult Content Creators

Is AI going to be the death of the internet as we know it? Are we all just slowly wading into a pool of chat GPT slop everywhere we turn now? I don’t know, maybe. But one thing I do know is that AI is a powerful tool that adult content creators should not be sleeping on! You do not need to be a tech bro to get strong results from AI. You need clarity, a system, and a few prompts you can tweak in minutes. This guide gives you a beginner friendly rundown without dumbing it down. Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming resource breaking down real life applications of AI in a ethical, productive, and optimized way for adult content creators.

What “prompting” actually is

Prompting is how you tell an AI exactly what you want, so it can give you something useful on the first try. The best prompts define the goal, the audience, the format, the constraints, and the vibe. OpenAI and Anthropic both emphasize being specific, giving examples, and iterating based on output quality, which matches what works in the real world. I can only imagine adult friendly tools like gptease are the same.

The 5 rules that make your prompts work

For this example we are going to build a prompt to find 30 Instagram captions for selfies.

1) Start with the outcome

Tell the model the business goal first. This reduces fluff and keeps responses focused. Both OpenAI and Anthropic call out clarity, specificity, and formatting as the biggest levers. Tell the model what success looks like so it optimizes for that. Then list the audience, platform, and constraints.

Where it lives in the prompt: GOAL section, first lines.

“GOAL

Write exactly 30 high performing captions for Instagram selfies that encourage saves and comments. Primary outcome is engagement rate, secondary outcome is profile visits. Keep language PG 13. Main audience is adult male consumers of adult content.”

1a) Add constraints

Then, add a hard constraint so the model cannot wander.

Where it lives in the prompt: GOAL section, final line.

“Output must be usable without edits and must follow Instagram Community Guidelines.”

2) Give examples, then ask the model to mirror

Paste one example that already performed well. Ask the model to extract style rules, then produce new variations. Few shot or multishot prompting is especially useful when you need consistent tone or structure. This Is especially helpful to encourage the AI to respond in your usual tone and manner of speaking. Examples anchor tone and rhythm. Ask the model to extract rules, then generate.

Where it lives in the prompt: FEW SHOT EXAMPLE TO MIRROR section.

“FEW SHOT EXAMPLE TO MIRROR

Analyze this winning caption:

“Paste caption or reference here”

Extract 8 style rules from the example, including sentence length, rhythm, and CTA style. Apply those rules to all new captions.”

3) Make the model show its work

Ask for quick reasoning bullets before the final copy. This reduces weird outputs and makes editing easier. Anthropic recommends verification and step-wise thinking, and OpenAI encourages iterative refinement paired with review criteria. When you ask for quick reasoning first, you get cleaner outputs and easier edits.

Where it lives in the prompt: QUALITY CHECKS BEFORE FINALIZING section, before the output schema.

“Self critique in 3 bullets, and analyze what to improve if projected projectengagement is low. Then pr

4) Lock the format

Models ramble when you let them. Control layout with a requested structure or JSON. OpenAI highlights structured outputs so you get consistent formatting without fighting the model. Give a strict schema and field limits.

Where it lives in the prompt: OUTPUT FORMAT LOCK section.

“OUTPUT FORMAT LOCK
A. Return a hierarchical outline in this exact structure:

A. STYLE RULES
a. 8 bullet points

• B. CAPTIONS
  a. 30 numbered items, each includes:
  i. Angle, theme label such as golden hour, coffee break, mirror selfie
  ii. Caption plain, 70 to 140 characters, no emojis
  iii. Caption emoji, 70 to 140 characters, tasteful emojis
  iv. Hashtags, 2 or 3 safe and relevant tags
  • C. TESTING PLAN
    a. One short paragraph on how to A or B test five captions over 14 days
    B. Do not include any content outside this outline structure”

5) Iterate like a scientist

Treat every output like a draft. Change one variable at a time, then test. Both OpenAI and Anthropic recommend iterative prompting and tight feedback loops. Inside the schema you already asked for a testing plan. Now add a ready to use follow up you can paste after you review results.

Where it lives in the prompt: TESTING hooks inside the schema, plus a ready follow up message.

Final Prompt:

Put all of that together and fill in the final details and you could have a prompt that looks like this.

Final Thoughts

AI is not here to replace your voice, it is here to help you stay consistent, make data driven decisions, and protect your energy. When you lead with clear outcomes, show a strong example, make the model explain itself, lock the format, and iterate with small tests, you stop having to wonder if the damn model is hallucinating and start getting results you can repeat.

Keep it people first. Your audience wants you, not generic filler. Use prompts to save time, then layer in your humor, your stories, and your boundaries. Track one metric, learn, and feed that back into your next prompt.
