Here's the thing most people miss: when your AI output looks like garbage, nine times out of ten it's not the model's fault. You just didn't give clear enough instructions.

Think about it—precise directives beat vague intentions every single time. Why? Because AI doesn't process information the way we do. It's essentially playing a sophisticated game of "complete this pattern," not reading your mind.

Stop expecting the model to guess what you want. Spell it out. The difference between mediocre results and exactly what you need comes down to how well you communicate the task.
