Why you get bad AI answers.
You asked a very capable assistant a flat, three-word question and got a flat answer back. Here's why that's a search-engine habit, not a ChatGPT failure.
10 AI prompting do's and don'ts.
Twenty small habits separate a prompt that gets you a usable answer from one that gets you a shrug in text form. None of them are secret tricks.
