Writing the best AI prompts is something that seems so easy yet tricky. Today, we will learn the tricks of how to do it smoothly.
We live in the world of AI now and the application of AI is felt more and more every day.
Is AI helpful and contributing to our technological development? Definitely. Would it be a threat? Well, I think that’s for another time and we will discuss later.

What are AI Prompts?
To understand our topic better, let’s first understand the basics. AI prompts are the input you give to AI for it to generate a desired output.
Just because AI is smart and intelligent doesn’t mean that it can work on itself. Just as any computer, AI needs instruction inputs to generate an output.
As they say a computer is only as intelligent as the user, AI needs detailed and clear prompt to give the best output.
Why are AI Prompts Important?
Imagine giving instruction to a kid to carry out a simple work. You will need to give a very specific and clear instruction on what you want out of your instruction. That way, he will be able to execute more closely to your desired level.
AI – although are being incorporated in many levels of computing and machine operation, are constantly learning the various possible outcomes.
So it is important to have a clear idea on what you want, how to present what you want through AI prompts. This guide is here to give you tips on how you can improve on your AI prompts.
Some Tips to Write the Best AI Prompts
So enough said, let’s get to our point on how to write the best AI prompts to get our job done.
Following these simple steps will help you ge the best results from your work.
Define the Scope of the Work
Perhaps this is the most important part of writing the best AI prompts. You need to define to the specifics what output work you are actually expecting.
This includes as detailed as possible job description. For instance, let’s compare the following two AI prompts:
- Write a 1500 worded article on “Contribution of AI in Medical Advancement”.
- Write a 1500 worded article on “Contribution of AI in Medical Advancement” and classify them into headings and sub-headings. Ensure to cover from the practices before AI and current scenario with citations from various international research papers.
If you look at the above 2 prompts, obviously the second prompt will give a more detailed and in depth output which will meet your requirements.
So you, as a human should be able to clearly define what you want AI to do, in order to get the best results.
Specify your Requirement Subject to the Nature of the Work
Next you need to specify the exact requirement that is relevant to the nature of output work you expect. For article contents for your blog posts, you may want to specify the tone – friendly, formal, casual etc.
You may also want to instruct AI on the oeverall structuring of your desired output. While AIs are being trained to understand human better, they will only address the topic and areas you specify.
You may also want to quote relevant and trusted sources as the data is available to AI for topics around the globe.
Limitations of AI in outsourcing your Work
AI being relatively new and the implementation even more recent, will certainly have its limitations.
These may be overcome by using the premium paid service of such AI related service providers which are limited for free users.
They may also be a general limitation to which the AI has not been trained adequately. Either way, they will improve very fast over the next few years.
Some Simple Activities you can Get AI done
Here are some simple activities you can get AI done for you with the minimum effort.
- Generate Articles and Web Contents
- Create and Design Websites
- Create Creative Music
- Generate Images from descriptions
- Develop Softwares through coding by AI.
There are just so many things AI can do. It’s all a matter of time they are done perfectly and totally replace human effort in some specific fields.
AI Advancement will Boost Exponentially
Not long from now, we will see the wide application of AI in almost any activity. There are thousands of AI start-ups working around the clock contributing towards the advancement in AI.
We can expect a lot of jobs will be taken over by AI, barring some few areas where simply logical decisions are not the only requirement.
AI will most definitely tansform the world and the way we get things done.
It is in our own interest to keep up with the fast paced technological development, lest you’d be left behind.
