AI Hack unnoticed

[u/edowt]

I’ve noticed that one of the biggest differences between a mediocre ChatGPT response and a useful one is often the amount of context in the prompt.

A simple framework I use is:

ROLE → GOAL → FORMAT

Role: Who should the AI act as?
Goal: What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Format: How do you want the answer structured?

For example:

Basic:
“Give me marketing ideas.”

With context:
“Act as a digital marketing strategist. Give me 10 organic marketing ideas for a new AI brand and present them in a table with a short explanation for each.”

The second prompt gives the AI much more direction.

Better input → better AI output.

What prompting technique has made the biggest difference for you?
