The effectiveness of interacting with AI hinges more on the user's underlying mental model than on the specific wording of prompts. Just as a reader needs context to understand a paragraph, an AI model requires a clear schema or framework to interpret prompts accurately. Without the right mental model, both the user and the AI can confidently misunderstand the task, leading to incorrect outputs that appear plausible. Therefore, before refining prompts, users should focus on establishing the correct mental model and context for the AI. AI
