Better questions get better answers

From the talk

A prompt is just the question you give AI, and the quality of the question decides the quality of the answer. The simplest framework is RTF: Role, Task, Format. Tell it who to be, what you need, and how you want it to look.

For bigger questions, like preparing for a treatment decision or an insurance appeal, use CLEAR: Context, Length, Examples, Audience, Role. And no matter which you use, end your important prompts with one sentence: tell me what you are uncertain about and what I should verify. AI will not volunteer this.

You have to ask.
