AI Is Notproductivitywritingbusiness
AI is not a mind reader
If you’re vague, AI will guess - and it will guess confidently.

The myth
“If I just explain my problem once, AI will get it.”
The reality
AI only works with what you give it.
When context is missing, it fills the gaps with plausible assumptions.
Those assumptions may sound confident - and still be wrong.
Relatable example
Saying: “Write me something good for my customers”
is like telling a boda: “Take me somewhere nice.”
You might arrive.
You might also end up somewhere random - confidently.
Takeaway
Vague prompt = vague output.
Specific prompt = useful output.
