Small prompt habit that helps when an AI answer feels too generic:
1. Do not ask for the final answer first.
2. Ask the model to interview you with 3 clarifying questions.
3. Answer those questions briefly.
4. Then ask it to build the output using only those answers.
Practical takeaway: the fastest way to improve AI output is often not a longer prompt — it is forcing one short clarification loop before generation.
Discussion question: where do you see AI giving you generic answers right now — writing, images, coding, research, or business planning?
