<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''AI'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">is capable, but it relies on your instructions to perform well.</span>

|| <span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Like a child, </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''AI'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">follows instructions literally.&nbsp;</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">It cannot read your mind or guess your intent.</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">It follows exactly what you</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">tell it to do.</span>

|| <div style="color:#000000;">Imagine telling a child, “Clean the room.”&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">That’s vague.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">The child may pick up a few things and think the job is done.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">So vague instructions give vague results.</div>

|| <div style="color:#000000;">Now, let's think about how to explain the “clean the room” task to a child.</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Break it into simple parts and give clear </span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1f1f1f;">&nbsp;</span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#1f1f1f;">instructions</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">.</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">So you can say, “Put all the toys in the box.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Fold the clothes and keep them in the cupboard.&nbsp;</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Arrange the books on the </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''shelf.'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">”</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">Now the child knows exactly what to do and does the job well.&nbsp;</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Structured guidance and clear steps</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">give better outcomes</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''.&nbsp;'''</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">''For example, put all the toys in the box.''</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Next, it should give a relevant background.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">''For example, fold the clothes and keep them in the cupboard.''</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">It should&nbsp; also mention how the output should appear.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">''For example,&nbsp; arrange the books on the shelf.''</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Finally, it should specify why you need it.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">''For example, the room should look clean and tidy.''</div>
