The Problem With How Most Freelancers Use ChatGPT (And How to Fix It)

Most freelancers use ChatGPT the same way. They open a blank chat, type something vague, get a generic response, spend 15 minutes trying to fix it, give up, and do the task manually. Then they tell people that AI is overhyped. The problem is not the tool. It is the input. Why vague prompts produce useless output ChatGPT is a language model. It predicts what a useful response looks like based on the input you give it. If the input is vague, the output will be generic by design. When you type "write me a client email" you get a template that could apply to anyone.
