Getting Better Results
The key to success is asking detailed questions.
Instead of asking:

Try asking:
I have chicken, mushrooms, onions, and rice. Create a healthy dinner recipe for two that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.
The more details you provide, the better AI performs.
Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment
There’s no wrong way to use AI.
Try asking questions.
Try different wording.
Ask follow-up questions.
Request revisions.
The more you use AI, the more useful it becomes.
