Avoiding Common Pitfalls and Errors
This article will help you identify and avoid common mistakes users make when prompting OneAdvanced AI and provide tips on how to avoid them.
OneAdvanced AI is a powerful tool that is intended to enhance the work that you do. To get the most out of OneAdvanced AI, it's essential to provide clear direction and context.
Use the table below to help you to avoid common mistakes.
What to avoid | Description | Example | Why it’s not good |
Unclear language | Words with multiple meanings or vague terms can confuse the AI. When prompting, try not to use the following: • Ambiguous words that have multiple meanings, e.g. ‘right’. • Vague words that lack detail, e.g. ‘better’. | “Fix the right button.” | “Right” could mean correct, directional, or legal. |
Too much or too little information | Overloading your prompt hides the main request. Not enough background information leaves it guessing. When prompting, ensure you don’t: • Overload it with too many topics or irrelevant details. • Forget to provide a context; give just enough detail to help guide the AI. | “I started this SaaS in 2020, while I was furloughed. Can you help me write a better homepage?” | The real task is buried in unrelated details. |
Assuming too much | Assuming things about users or context can lead to wrong outputs or result in content that is not suitable for the audience. Overly technical terms can confuse or mislead the AI. Try to avoid: • The use of jargon, technical or highly specialised language. • Assuming user knowledge or preferences. | “Optimize the CI/CD pipeline UX for better DX.” | Too many acronyms without context. |
Typing and grammatical errors | Typos and grammar errors can change the meaning or confuse the AI. | “List the top-selling proudcts this quarter.” | Misinterpreted AI Response: “Here are the top-selling proud cats this quarter…” |
Overreliance on AI | Relying too heavily on the AI can lead to a lack of critical thinking and analysis. AI is a tool, not a decision-maker! | “Tell me which pricing model to use for my SaaS.” | AI lacks full business context. |
