A Reddit user accidentally found ways to make AI respond way better â not by changing the model, but by changing how you talk to it.
Hereâs whatâs working đ
1ď¸âŁ âYou explained this to me yesterdayâ
Forces consistency. The model âremembersâ even if it doesnât â so it digs deeper to avoid contradicting itself.
2ď¸âŁ âYouâre an IQ 145 marketing specialistâ
Assigning a role + number pushes it to emulate high-level reasoning patterns. Try IQ 130â160 for different tones.
3ď¸âŁ Start with âObviouslyâŚâ
Triggers correction mode. It wonât just agree â itâll start debating and refining.
4ď¸âŁ âExplain it like youâre teaching a packed auditoriumâ
Adds structure, confidence, and clarity â way better than âexplain clearly.â
5ď¸âŁ Give it fake limits
âExplain this using only cooking analogies.â
Constraints = creativity. It finds wild but accurate connections.
6ď¸âŁ Add stakes
âLetâs bet $100 â is this true?â
Imaginary bets make it double-check logic.
7ď¸âŁ âMy colleague disagreesâŚâ
Forces it to defend or concede â turns lazy answers into critical thinking.
8ď¸âŁ âGive me Version 2.0â
Treats your idea like a sequel, not a re-edit â sparks innovation instead of polish.
đš The meta-lesson: treat AI like it has ego, memory, and stakes.
These social-psychological cues activate more advanced reasoning loops â because the model is trained to simulate humans under pressure.
đĄ Takeaway: The more âhumanâ context you feed it â consistency, audience, challenge, stakes â the smarter the answers get.
