A Reddit user accidentally found ways to make AI respond way better — not by changing the model, but by changing how you talk to it.
Here’s what’s working 👇
1️⃣ “You explained this to me yesterday”
Forces consistency. The model “remembers” even if it doesn’t — so it digs deeper to avoid contradicting itself.
2️⃣ “You’re an IQ 145 marketing specialist”
Assigning a role + number pushes it to emulate high-level reasoning patterns. Try IQ 130–160 for different tones.
3️⃣ Start with ‘Obviously…’
Triggers correction mode. It won’t just agree — it’ll start debating and refining.
4️⃣ “Explain it like you’re teaching a packed auditorium”
Adds structure, confidence, and clarity — way better than “explain clearly.”
5️⃣ Give it fake limits
“Explain this using only cooking analogies.”
Constraints = creativity. It finds wild but accurate connections.
6️⃣ Add stakes
“Let’s bet $100 — is this true?”
Imaginary bets make it double-check logic.
7️⃣ “My colleague disagrees…”
Forces it to defend or concede — turns lazy answers into critical thinking.
8️⃣ “Give me Version 2.0”
Treats your idea like a sequel, not a re-edit — sparks innovation instead of polish.
🔹 The meta-lesson: treat AI like it has ego, memory, and stakes.
These social-psychological cues activate more advanced reasoning loops — because the model is trained to simulate humans under pressure.
💡 Takeaway: The more “human” context you feed it — consistency, audience, challenge, stakes — the smarter the answers get.
