By skyforbes If ChatGPT keeps giving you robotic or painfully generic answers, you’re not doing anything “wrong.”
You’re just missing context — the secret sauce that turns bland outputs into natural, human-like responses.
You’re just missing context — the secret sauce that turns bland outputs into natural, human-like responses.
Here are 3 super simple context fixes I use daily that instantly make AI replies sharper and more relevant 👇
- Set the scene before you start
Give the model a situation or scenario to think inside.
Example:
“You’re helping me prepare for a job interview at a tech startup.”
That one line tells ChatGPT who it is and what role it’s playing. Suddenly, the advice feels tailored — not random.
- Show, don’t tell
Saying “make it friendly” is vague.
Instead, say:
“Make it sound like I’m chatting with a friend over coffee.”
See the difference? You’re giving the model a mental picture, not just an instruction.
- Guide it with examples
Models absolutely love examples.
Example:
“Use the same tone as this: ‘Learning AI isn’t scary — it’s like teaching your computer to think.’”
It anchors the model’s style and tone instantly — way more reliable than guessing what “friendly” means.
