How Clear Prompts Improve AI Accuracy

  Examples of Good & Bad  Prompts and Outputs 📜Introduction In Human Computer Interaction,  Clear prompting is the link between what we intend and what AI predicts . In my last article ( How AI Understands You: Inside Human & AI Communication ), I called it the bridge between human language and AI's probability engine . This follow-up post shows how small changes in our prompts can dramatically improve accuracy . The goal isn't to write perfect prompts . It's simply to give AI enough context, clarity and direction so that the prediction pathway becomes more precise.   ❌Example 1: Bad or Inadequate Prompt + Inadequate Output Bad Prompt:  Explain coffee. Likely Output (example): Coffee is a popular beverage made from roasted beans. People drink it in many countries, and it can be prepared in various ways. Why it’s inadequate: It’s vague. It doesn’t specify audience, purpose, angle, or depth. AI must guess what you want, so it defaults to a generic, ...

Style or Fashion? A Guide On Why You Need Both

"Fashion fades.  Only Style remains the same" - Coco Chanel From our clothes, shoes, bags and hair to the accessories we choose, style reflects our personality and values.  Style isn’t limited to what we wear — it shows up in our electronics, the car we drive, even how we decorate our home. These choices reflect our personal lens and preferences.  Style influences how we feel, how others perceive us, and how we move through different spaces in life.

It’s like seeing a blazer on someone and saying, 'Oh, that’s in right now' (fashion), versus thinking, 'That is so her' (style). Fashion is constantly changing but Style is...

The Impact of Fed Rate Changes on Your Wallet, Loans, Businesses, Gold and Economy

  🔎 Understanding the Fed Rate and Its Impact Interest rate changes often fly under the radar until they directly affect our finances.  Suddenly a new mortgage or student loan costs more, credit card bills climb, or business loans become harder to afford. At the core of these widespread shifts is the Federal Reserve rate , known more simply as the Fed rate .   It’s one of the most important tools used by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the country’s central bank) to manage the economy.   🏦 What Is the Fed Rate? The Fed rate is the interest rate that banks charge each other to lend money overnight. This helps banks meet the minimum amount of cash (called reserves ) they must hold. While this might seem like a behind-the-scenes number, it directly influences many of the interest rates you see, including those on credit cards, mortgages, car loans, student loans , and savings accounts . When the Fed raises or lowers this rate, it’s making a deliberate move to guide ...

Learn to Spot Fake AI Experts misleading your Business

    "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." – Daniel J. Boorstin   Last year, in a weekly newsletter to their small business customers, my insurance company included a podcast (along with a transcript) titled:  What Small Business Owners Need to Know About AI .   Honestly, why would a small business owner or anyone be interested in learning about AI from an insurance company?  Customers may be interested in AI related business insurance products but if they're interested in learning about AI, they'd rather take an AI course , correct? Regardless, it seemed like a good faith effort by the insurance company. AI, or artificial intelligence , has been one of the hottest topics on almost every CEO, senior and mid-level manager’s agenda since ChatGPT’s birth in November 2022 .  Their annual performance appraisals and bonuses probably now also take into consideration the level of AI awareness, training and usa...
