Hot take: Your AI prompt is too vague if the output reads like a middle school essay

I kept getting generic fluff from ChatGPT until I started adding a specific tone, audience age, and a max sentence count, like 'write this for a 30-year-old small business owner in under 5 sentences', and the quality jumped way up has anyone else tried that kind of structure yet?

Honestly, my buddy tried writing a prompt for a Halloween party invite and forgot to say what age group. The AI pumped out something that sounded like a 5th grader's birthday party, and he had to redo the whole thing.

Wait, did your friend @wyatt_lee also forget to tell the AI what kind of party it was, or just the age group? It’s wild how one missed detail can mess up the whole vibe.
