By skyforbes I used to feel like AI gives good answers but not the answers I actually need.
Then I found out and tried adding one simple line to my prompts

Instant upgrade.
I tested it while asking for a workout plan.
Normally I’d get a generic plan like 'you do push ups, squats, cardio' type of routine.
But when I gave the AI permission to ask questions, it asked:
1) What’s your goal?
2) Home or gym?
3) Any injuries?
4) Current weight?
5) How much time per day?
And then the plan it created was realistic, safe, and something I could actually follow.
It made me realize something that
Most AI problems are really clarity problems.
If we give better inputs, we get MUCH better outputs. 💯
Give it try it in your next prompt:
“Ask clarifying questions before answering”
It makes a bigger difference than you’d expect.
