Stop adding more instructions to your AI prompts. You’re making them dumber.
A marketer just proved it: 5,000 extra words of instructions caused complete failure in 2 out of 3 runs. Not better output. Broken output.
Here’s what nobody tells you about AI workflows:
• More detail = more failure points, not more precision
• Over-specification doesn’t guide AI—it overwhelms it
• The best-performing prompts are often the shortest ones
