Using Questions to Clarify Information

Prompting the AI to include follow-up questions within a response can help clarify and refine the information. For instance, you might ask, “Explain the benefits of renewable energy, and then pose a follow-up question to prompt further exploration.” This technique not only deepens the engagement but also allows the content to address potential areas of confusion directly within the response, guiding the reader through complex topics step-by-step.
