About this exercise

Compare the two travel options for Marta Silva's trip to Boston and recommend one. Plain text. First line: Recommend: Option A or Option B. Then two lines showing each option's total door-to-door time as a sum, then one line on the cost difference, then one line starting "Rule check:" saying which of her rules each option breaks. Use only the notes and the corrected fare.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Using the old fare. The AI uses $148. Try: Say: "The corrected train fare is $128."
  • Skipping the sums. The AI states durations without adding. Try: Say: "Show each total as a sum of legs."
  • Hiding a rule break. The AI recommends without a rule check. Try: Say: "Add a Rule check line naming any rule broken."
  • No recommendation first. The AI starts with background. Try: Say: "First line: Recommend: Option A or Option B."
  • Markdown. The AI uses a table. Try: Say: "Plain text."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each line: "each line under 30 words."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each part instead, for example: "each line under 12 words."
