About this exercise

Staff need to know what changed in the new dock safety SOP. Write a prompt for plain text with exactly four lines starting "Changed:", "Added:", "Removed:" and "Unchanged:". Compare the two versions item by item. Items within a line are separated by semicolons. If nothing fits a line, write none. Under 100 words.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Missing a reversal. The AI skips that the driver rule flipped from stay to leave. Try: Say: "Changed = same topic, different rule; say old to new."
  • Listing the log sheet as removed. The AI says the log sheet was removed with nothing replacing it. Try: Say: "Removed = old item with no replacement."
  • Guessing reasons. The AI explains why each rule changed. Try: Say: "Do not guess reasons."
  • Wrong lines. The AI writes a summary paragraph. Try: Quote the four labels.
  • Markdown extras and long output. AI adds bold, headings and bullets by default, which show up as stray symbols where this is pasted. Try: Say "plain text, no bold, no headings" and cap each line, for example "each line under 15 words".

  • Quotes the four labels
  • Defines each line
