Improve Your AI Answers by Adding this Simple Question to Every Prompt
When asking an Artificial Intelligence a question, add this one additional question and improve your results massively!
How to Improve your Artificial Intelligence Prompts, by adding one simple sentence.
One of the most complicated things about artificial intelligence prompts is that you must develop the context and additional information that the AI requires to better understand how to give you a good answer.
This task essentially requires users to type a full paragraph or two to properly convey the context of the question, while adding some type of description regarding what constitutes the kind of answer that the user is seeking. Sometimes when crafting a prompt, a user will create an excellent set of conditions that the artificial intelligence should be able to follow.When an excellent prompt is written, in many instances it properly guides the AI to a cleaner more useful answer. However, time and time again users discover that their query didn't provide enough scope or context nor did the user receive a result that meet the expectation they had from the query.
What Users Want from an AI Answer
What users want is to get an answer that fits the type and style of response that meets the users intended use for the answer. In other words, if the query requires an answer that includes statutory considerations because it is grounded in legal, or if the desired answer requires more rhyme and less reason because it will be used for marketing, end-users have to properly set the conditions in the query (prompt) to draw out the type of answer that will be usable for its intended purpose.
AI Cannot Reason or Think
The challenge for AI since it cannot think or reason is to use algorithmic token analysis to assess a solid answer from the myriad of possible correct answers. A YouTube channel named Simpletivity, has described an excellent methodology for users to properly query Artificial Intelligence which is guaranteed to reduce the interaction requirement for the end user, and get better, cleaner more precise answers.
Add this Question to every AI Prompt
End users will get significantly more useful response from AI on the 1st query, which will lower the costs of using your AI, while also reducing the interaction time that the end-user must invest to get a cleaner, more useful answer. Let’s waste no time. Here is what you do:
- You type the question that you want an answer from the AI. (Your query or prompt).
- You then add the following words to your query: “Ask me 3 to 5 clarifying questions so you are 99% certain of what I want you to do.”
That’s it! The result of adding this one sentence to your query is remarkable.We have tested it here at Moonlight 365 Technologies, Inc., and have found that in nearly every instance, where context and additional considerations are important to the AI Answer, this added question massively improved the results.

Of course, when using this methodology to tighten your prompts, the AI will generate additional questions as requested.The beauty of this simple sentence is that the AI will help you craft the context that is most likely necessary for the specific help you are seeking it to provide.
The process of answering those questions is simple.You do not need to give long winded answers.You can provide simple, short, answers, and if you like, use the numbering system that the AI provided to make your answers easier for it to process.Here is the link to the video which is useful if you want additional details about the process that Simpletivity went through (Click Here).
