Prompting an LLM requires a different approach than typing a search query into Google, yet it’s common for people to treat them the same. The process often goes something like this: type a sentence, get a response, then ask refining questions or supply follow-up context to guide AI toward the information you’re after. If you’re only asking for a simple answer, then simple questions usually work fine. But for tasks involving deeper context or multiple steps, you’re normally two or three exchanges deep before the model begins to understand what you actually wanted.
