Ask weak questions and, well, you get the point.<\/p>\n<p>The better you prompt, the better your results. You must get the AI to focus, and for that you need to give it detail. The key is focusing the AI&#8217;s vast capabilities into precise, useful outputs through three core components.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>WHO: Define the expert<\/strong>. Assign a specific role or expertise level. &#8220;As a cognitive psychologist specializing in memory formation,&#8221; yields more targeted insights than &#8220;Tell me about memory&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WHAT: Set the context<\/strong>. Frame the specific scenario, problem, or topic scope. Rather than &#8220;Write about learning,&#8221; try &#8220;Analyze how spaced repetition enhances vocabulary retention in second language acquisition&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HOW: Shape the output<\/strong>. Specify format, length, and style requirements. &#8220;Present three evidence based strategies in 300 words using academic language and bullet points&#8221;.
