Vague Prompt, Vague Answer — How to Feed AI Better

## Episode 9 — Monday Marketing with Janet Here's the biggest misconception about artificial intelligence. People think it reads between the lines. They think it understands what you mean, even when you don't say it clearly. That it picks up on context. That it knows your business, your brand, your customers, just because you typed a few words into a box. It doesn't. AI is not intuitive. It is not psychic. And it is absolutely not going to give you what you're looking for if you haven't told it what you're looking for. There's an old saying, you get out of it what you put into it. That is never more true than with AI. The more information you give it, the more specific, the more detailed, the more defined your parameters, the better the output. Every single time. Vague prompt. Vague answer. Clear prompt. Useful answer. It really is that simple and it really does make that much of a difference. So what does feeding it better actually look like? Tell it who you are. Tell it who your customer is. Tell it what you're trying to accomplish and why. Tell it the tone you want. Professional, casual, funny, direct. Tell it what you don't want just as much as what you do. Think of it like briefing a new employee. You wouldn't hand someone their first assignment with no background and expect a perfect result. You'd explain the business, the customer, the goal. AI is no different. If AI isn't giving you what you expected, don't blame the tool and don't blame yourself. Feed it more. Define it better. Give it the parameters it needs to do its job. That's the skill. And once you have it, everything changes. I'm Janet Gillaty with JG Marketing Solutions.
