Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

• Getting a corrected version. The AI writes the right definition, which you then copy. Try: Say: "Do NOT give a corrected explanation."
• Vague praise. The AI says 'good start' without naming what's off. Try: Add: "Mixed up must name what my explanation leaves out."
• No fixed lines. Without labels you get a long review. Try: Say: "Three lines: Got right:, Mixed up:, Try this:"
• Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total and it often lands 20% over. Try: Cap each part: "each line under 12 words."
• Forgetting where it's going. AI formats for a screen, with bold and headings that show up as stray symbols. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
