Task

Be specific

Take the vague request “tell me about food” and rewrite it into one specific one. Add at least one clarification: number of options, deadline or limitation (for example, how many ideas and how much time to cook). The answer is in plain text, one or two lines.

Precise requests to AI
💡 A bit of theory

Imagine walking into a cafe and saying, “Bring me something to eat.” The waiter will be confused - everyone has different tastes. It’s the same with AI: the vaguer the request, the more general and useless the answer. The mechanics are simple: the neural network guesses what you meant according to your words. Few words - a lot of guesses - the average answer is “for everyone”. Technique: add three things - what exactly, how much and a frame. Instead of “tell us about nutrition,” it turns out to be “give 3 simple breakfasts that can be prepared in under 10 minutes.” A number, a topic and a limitation appear - and the answer immediately becomes useful. A common beginner mistake: asking “everything at once” and then getting upset that the water came out. Don't be afraid to narrow your topic—a narrow question will almost always yield a better answer than a broad one. If you're not sure how to narrow it down, ask yourself, “What can I realistically do with this answer in five minutes?”
