“AI Doesn’t Understand Me?” Let’s Fix That Today.
Ever typed a question into ChatGPT and got a weird or off-topic answer?
You double-checked your wording…
You tried rephrasing…
But still, it didn’t get you.
You’re not alone.
A lot of people feel the same way.
AI is smart but it’s not human.
It understands patterns, not feelings.
It follows rules, not intuition.
Let’s break down how AI really understands your words and how you can get better answers.
1️⃣ How AI Understands Words
When you write something like:
“Give me a simple diet plan.”
AI doesn’t read it like a human would.
Instead, it breaks it into tiny parts called tokens.
A token is just a chunk of text maybe a word or a part of one.
For example:
- “Give” → 1 token
- “me” → 1 token
- “a” → 1 token
- “simple” → 1 token
- “diet plan” → 2 tokens
Now AI takes those tokens, looks at what similar requests looked like before, and predicts what you might want next.
It doesn’t understand your feelings.
It sees patterns and guesses the most helpful next sentence.
It’s like finishing a sentence in your head, but with millions of examples behind it.
2️⃣ The Secret Behind Tokens (Why They Matter)
Every chat has a token limit, a max number of words, AI can process at once.
Think of it like a whiteboard: if it’s full, older stuff gets erased.
So if you ask a long question, or the conversation goes on and on…
AI might lose track of earlier things you said.
That’s why clear and focused questions work better.
The more precise you are, the less confused the AI gets.
3️⃣ Common Mistakes That Confuse AI
Let’s be real, sometimes the issue isn’t AI…
It’s how we ask.
Here are a few things that often cause problems:
❌ Vague questions: “Tell me about business.” (Too broad)
❌ Multiple questions in one go: “Tell me a business idea and how to do it and write a plan.” (Too much at once)
❌ Changing topics too quickly: AI loses track of the thread
❌ Lack of context: “Can you write that email?” (Which email?)
✅ Tip: Treat AI like a helpful intern. The more context you give, the better it performs.
🛠 Try This Mini Experiment
Want to understand how small changes in prompts affect the answers?
Try this in ChatGPT:
Ask: “Write a 100-word story about a cat.”
Then ask: “Now make it funnier.”
Then ask: “Make it suitable for kids under 5.”
Notice what happens.
The same base request but different tones, styles, and lengths.
That’s the power of clear instructions.
This will help you see:
✨How AI interprets tone
✨ How it is customized content
✨ How prompt clarity shapes output
Lesson: Tiny tweaks can create big shifts in response quality.
Want better answers?
Ask better questions.
Be clear, add context, and keep it simple.
