How can an AI model better understand and use specific instructions from a user?

An AI model must understand the user's core intent. The AI model should use specific instructions to guide its output. Each instruction should have a clear purpose.

The rule

An AI model must understand the user's core intent.

The AI model should use specific instructions to guide its output. Each instruction should have a clear purpose.

The AI model needs to treat each instruction as a separate, important guide. If a user gives a phrase, the AI model should use that phrase directly. If a user asks for a specific writing style, the AI model should focus on that style. The AI model should not mix different instructions in a way that makes them less clear. Each instruction should have its own clear prompt for the AI model to follow.

A writer asks an AI model to create a story in the style of Shakespeare. The writer also asks for a 'defiant' mood. The AI model should use a prompt focused on Shakespeare's style. It should then use another prompt to ensure the story's mood is defiant. The AI model should not let the mood instruction weaken the style instruction.

How can an AI model accurately follow user instructions?

An AI model needs clear and complete instructions. The user must state the desired outcome precisely.

Why did the AI model include its instructions in the answer?

The AI model saw special formatting in the instructions. This formatting made the instructions look like important text.

When a user gives an AI model specific steps, should the AI model suggest different steps?

An AI model must follow the user's algorithm as written. If the AI model's output does not meet the user's requirements, the AI model's execution is wrong.

How do an AI model's 'voice' settings interact with other writing settings?

An AI model's 'voice' setting defines how sentences are built. It also defines the special ways sentences change or turn.
