Each mistake is illustrated with real-world examples, showing both what goes wrong and how a small adjustment can dramatically improve the outcome. You'll learn how to: Spot the most common beginner mistakes that lead to bad answers Rewrite prompts to be clearer, more specific, and more reliable Add the right context without overloading the AI Catch inaccuracies, assumptions, and hallucinations early Refine responses step by step instead of starting over Rather than discouraging AI use, this book helps you use ChatGPT more confidently and effectively. By the end, you'll understand how to diagnose problems quickly, correct them intelligently, and get consistent, useful results for writing, research, learning, and everyday tasks.
