What is the most likely outcome of using a vague prompt when interacting with a generative AI model?
What is the most likely outcome of using a vague prompt when interacting with a generative AI model?
- The AI will take initiative and fill in the gaps, leading to innovative results.
- The AI will default to a standard response, ensuring a baseline level of quality.
- The AI's response will likely be less effective or relevant due to lack of specific guidance. (correct)
- The AI will request clarification before proceeding.
What is the recommended strategy for handling a complex task when using AI prompting?
What is the recommended strategy for handling a complex task when using AI prompting?
- Increase the length of the prompt to include as much detail as possible.
- Break the task into smaller, more manageable prompts to avoid overwhelming the AI. (correct)
- Combine all requirements into a single, comprehensive prompt to ensure holistic processing.
- Use technical jargon to ensure the AI understands the complexity.
Why is it important to fact-check and guide AI-generated content with follow-up instructions?
Why is it important to fact-check and guide AI-generated content with follow-up instructions?
- To ensure the AI-generated content aligns with your specific needs and expectations.
- Because generative AI models predict content rather than 'understand' it, making them prone to inaccuracies.
- To correct any errors or inconsistencies in the AI's output.
- All of the above. (correct)

Study Notes
- Experienced users can still make mistakes when using AI prompting.
Common Pitfalls
- Vagueness leads to weaker results.
- To avoid vagueness, include audience, tone, format, and examples.
- Overloaded prompts, which attempt to address multiple tasks, can cause confusion.
- For complex tasks, split them into smaller steps.
- Generative models predict content and do not "understand" it.
- Always fact-check and guide the AI with follow-up instructions.
Actionable Tip
- Test prompts across multiple platforms to learn their strengths.
- Compare how each platform handles a specific task.
- Example Specific task: "Draft a mission statement for a startup focusing on sustainable energy.”
