One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is asking ChatGPT the same way every time.
They ask a question...
Get an answer...
And either accept it or wonder why it wasn't very good.

The hat you ask it to wear changes the way it answers.

You just need to tell ChatGPT which hat to wear.
Once you start doing that, you'll notice your answers become much more useful.
