• Clarity matters more than tone. It’s not about being polite or aggressive—it’s about being clear and specific.
• Tone might just change the wording. A stronger tone often means more direct language, which helps the AI—not the attitude.

• Good prompts beat good vibes. Being consistent and structured matters more than sounding nice or firm.
• Treating AI like a person can backfire. It might feel natural, but AI isn’t human—it won’t truly understand intent or emotion.
