AI models are not mind readers. They need clear, organized, and precise instructions to provide the desired results. The author, a prompt director at an AI startup, suggests treating AI models like smart children who need contextual and specific guidance. Although advanced AI models can handle complex tasks and language, they still require well-laid-out prompts, especially for more complicated tasks. The author advises organizing instructions into a list rather than a confusing paragraph, which helps both the user and the AI model stay organized. Additionally, including an instruction to double-check the work can yield more accurate responses from the AI model. The author also emphasizes the importance of including examples of desired outputs, particularly when a specific style or tone is required, to improve the AI’s understanding and performance.
