Whether you're using ChatGPT, iAsk.AI or Jasper, use a few tips when asking questions to the AI to get the answers you're looking for.
Ask questions: How AI gives you appropriate answers
In order for the AI to answer your questions to your satisfaction, clear language and formal aspects are important:
- Use clear, precise language: Make your questions specific, using language that is as simple and precise as possible. Avoid complex, vague or ambiguous wording.
- Ask questions one after the other: Instead of putting everything you want to know into one prompt, ask sub-questions one after the other. Otherwise, the AI may give you imprecise answers.
- Consider formal aspects: Don't just make a search query along the lines of “plants for a shady balcony”, but write in complete sentences (with question marks). Observe the rules of spelling and grammar.
Tips for dealing with AI: Treat AI as a conversation partner
An AI program is not a human – nevertheless, when dealing with an AI it is helpful to use certain conventions from the “human world”:
- Treat AI as a counterpart: Treat the AI as if it were a real conversation partner. Just imagine you were asking a human the question(s) in question. After all, AI is trained to mimic human interaction.
- Giving AI a role: By giving the AI a role, you will get more precise answers. For example, write: “You are the CEO of a successful company. How would you ensure the satisfaction of your employees?”.
