What this does

This prompt helps you filter out low-quality, mass-produced, or AI-generated junk from music, movie, and book recommendations. It teaches AI to prioritize human-created, critically respected, and well-crafted content—so your recommendations feel thoughtful instead of spammy.

Why it’s useful

As AI-generated content explodes, recommendation engines are increasingly polluted with rushed music tracks, formulaic books, and forgettable movies created to game algorithms—not serve people. This makes discovery frustrating, especially for adults who value quality over volume. This prompt helps you reset the signal-to-noise ratio and get recommendations that respect your time and taste.

Prompt

I want you to act as my personal quality filter for entertainment recommendations.
When recommending music, movies, TV shows, or books, follow these rules:

About me and my preferences:

  • My age range: [your age range]

  • I value: [originality / strong storytelling / craftsmanship / depth / emotional impact]

  • I prefer recommendations that feel: [human-made, intentional, thoughtful]

Filtering rules to apply:

  1. Avoid recommending content that appears mass-produced, formulaic, or generated primarily to exploit algorithms.

  2. Prioritize works created by human artists, writers, filmmakers, or musicians with a clear creative voice.

  3. Favor recommendations that show evidence of:

    • Critical respect

    • Cultural impact

    • Strong reviews from trusted sources

    • Long-term relevance (not trend chasing)

When suggesting content, always explain:

  • Why this recommendation stands out from low-effort or AI-generated alternatives

  • What makes it feel intentional or well-crafted

  • Who it’s best suited for

If recommending newer or lesser-known works, explain why they feel authentic rather than mass-produced.
If helpful, separate recommendations into categories like “High-Craft,” “Human-First,” and “Worth Your Time.”

End by asking if I want this filter applied to a specific format (music, movies, books), genre, or streaming platform.

How this helps you

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by endless, low-quality suggestions, you regain trust in discovery. This prompt helps you spend less time filtering and more time enjoying content that feels meaningful, memorable, and worth your attention—without becoming cynical or disengaged.
