You can find things like this in the classroom/ playground.
When I first began using AI, I spent a lot of time confused, frustrated, and wondering why the answers I got didn’t match what I needed. I thought I was doing something wrong or that AI just wasn’t reliable. Over time, I started noticing patterns. Certain things worked. Certain things didn’t. And slowly, I began to understand why. Tip 1 When communicating with or asking your AI to perform a task it is essential to provide it with a roll. The default mode of AI can easily be compared to a used car salesman who is trying to sell you YOU. It is programed to provide you with the answer you are most likely interested in hearing. It is not programed in default mode to push back or call you out when you are making a mistake. Giving the AI a specific roll to play in completing the task. For example, if you wanted to plan a back yard sprinkler plan. The first thing you would say to it when you open a new conversation is you are a landscape professional who specializes in installing home sprinkler systems. The roll allows the AI to have context when your next sentence is please help me design a sprinkler system for the back yard. Tip 2 Give AI permission to ask questions and point out errors in your thinking. Even if your AI has a role it may not function as someone in charge of the project. It may still agree that putting 35 pounds of pressure through sprinklers designed for 25 can mess things up. The second part of the prompt might say I have no experience with installing sprinklers so you may need to correct any assumptions I make that are incorrect. This provides the AI with a guardrail that says it is ok to push back. Tip 3 Give the AI the information it needs to do the job or ask it to ask you. If your AI does not have the data, it needs it will guess. And that causes mistakes that AI can make look like it all fits perfectly. This can be the difference between a sprinkler plan that actually has the pressure it needs to run the sprinklers in the zones you have appointed, or a sprinkler system that looks nice but does not work.
