A guy at the Columbus library demo showed me my own prompt was doing all the work
I sat in on a small AI tools demo at the Columbus library on Saturday and a guy named Marcus typed my exact prompt into two different models to show how much the words mattered. He pointed at one line where I'd written "be helpful" and said that tells a model nothing, then rewrote it to "list three risks in this plan" and the output changed on the spot. I've been scribbling that lesson on sticky notes all week. What's the one phrase you added to a prompt that made the biggest jump in quality?
