Just one more prompt

The day AI amazed you for the first time with a magic answer, replying to a vague question, you became a gambler.

You don't know if the next question will lead to the answer. It's unpredictable. Maybe. Let's just ask.

This answer is not what I needed or asked for, but I know a little bit more. I'm moving toward a solution. Let's just ask again.

The last answers were useless. But maybe if I tweak my prompt, I'll get THE answer. Let's just ask again.

You think you're working, but you're just gambling.

Nothing wrong with that. When AI is right, it's impressive. But it's still gambling.
