How should a question be phrased to guide a user effectively?

A question asks the user to do something. A question does not ask the user how they feel. A question does not invite the user to explore a topic.

By Pawan Nayar · from the LLOS AI Learning record

The rule

A question asks the user to do something.

A question does not ask the user how they feel. A question does not invite the user to explore a topic.

A question tells the user what action to take. It focuses on execution. It does not ask about feelings or invite exploration. These types of questions are better for larger topics or discussions.

An AI model asks, 'Let's explore together how to write a good headline.' This is not a direct instruction. A better question is, 'Write a headline for a news article.'
