Why AI Misunderstands Your Prompts (and How to Fix It)
Why AI misunderstands your prompts — and why the fix is almost never a better template. Everyone has the same experience with these tools: brilliant one moment, useless the next, with no obvious reason for the difference. The instinct is to blame the model, or to go hunting for a magic prompt someone posted online. Neither helps for long. This hour covers the actual cause — the gaps between what you meant and what you typed, the assumptions you leave the model to guess at, and how to close them. It's a thinking skill rather than a list: precision framing, removing hidden burdens from your instructions, the LIFT method, iterating through feedback instead of starting over, and judging output by whether it's useful rather than whether it sounds polished. No templates to memorise. The point is that you stop needing them.
