Lack of Iteration and Refinement

Expecting a perfect answer on the first try is unrealistic. Iterating and refining your prompt leads to better results.

Why This Happens

• The first response may not be exactly what you want.
• Refining your prompt helps clarify your needs and improves the AI's answers.

Examples

• No refinement: "Write a story about a dog."
• With refinement:
  1. "Write a short, funny story about a dog who learns to skateboard."
  2. "Make the story suitable for children."
  3. "Add a twist ending."

How to Avoid

• Review the AI’s response and adjust your prompt as needed.
• Don’t hesitate to clarify or ask follow-up questions.
• Use feedback from the AI to improve your next prompt.

Best Practices

• Treat prompting as a conversation, not a one-shot request.
• Each iteration can bring you closer to your ideal answer.
