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
Then I found out and tried adding one simple line to my prompts
“Ask clarifying questions before answering."
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. đź’Ż
Give it try it in your next prompt:
“Ask clarifying questions before answering”
It makes a bigger difference than you’d expect.
