How I Work When Answers Are Everywhere
Sometimes I ask AI too quickly.
A thought appears.
I type it immediately.
AI responds fast, helpfully.
And I move forward.
The problem wasn’t the response.
It was the question.
It hadn’t matured yet.
I realised I was asking the first version of my thought —
not the considered one.
That’s not curiosity.
That’s impatience.
The AIYING move I use
I don’t ask AI the first question that comes to mind.
I pause and ask myself:
“Is this really what I want to ask?”
Sometimes I rewrite the question once.
Sometimes twice.
That’s all.
Why this works
Rewriting forces the thought to settle.
The question becomes clearer.
The answer becomes more useful.
AI responds to a better question —
because I took time to form it.
What actually changed for me
I stopped feeling like AI answers were generic.
I started noticing they were more aligned to what I truly needed.
Work felt less rushed —
and more precise.
Try this today
Before sending your next AI query, rewrite the question once.
Then ask it.
Notice how different the response feels.
Clarity is a practice. AI is a participant.
