Overloading with Multiple Questions
Asking too many questions at once can confuse the AI and result in incomplete or unfocused answers.
Why This Happens
- The AI may not know which question to prioritize.
- Responses may be shallow or skip important details.
Examples
- Overloaded: "What is AI, how does it work, and what are its risks and benefits?"
- Better:
- "What is AI?"
- "How does AI work?"
- "What are the main risks and benefits of AI?"
How to Avoid
- Break complex requests into separate, focused prompts.
- Ask one question at a time for clarity.
- Use follow-up prompts to dig deeper.
Best Practices
- If you need a summary, ask for a summary. If you need details, ask for detailsβone at a time.
- Review the AI's answer and decide what to ask next.
Focused prompts get more complete and useful answers from the AI.
