How to Ask Better Questions of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) gives answers based on the words you use. Small changes in your question can lead to very different results. Learning how to ask clear, specific questions helps you get better and more useful answers.

Example 1: Being Too Vague vs. Being Specific

Question A (Vague): Tell me about climate change.
Result: A broad explanation that may feel too general.
Question B (More Specific): Explain climate change in simple terms for a high school science class.
What Changes: The AI adjusts the language level and focus.

Example 2: Adding a Goal

Question A: How does photosynthesis work?
Question B: How does photosynthesis work, and why is it important for life on Earth?
What Changes: Adding a goal creates a deeper, more complete answer.

Example 3: Asking for a Format

Question A: Help me study for a history test.
Question B: Help me study by giving five bullet points about the Civil War.
What Changes: The AI follows the requested format, saving time.

Example 4: Setting Limits

Question A: Write about social media.
Question B: Write one short paragraph on how social media affects teenagers, with one positive and one negative.
What Changes: Limits make the answer clearer and more focused.
