Now choose the shape your answer comes in.
Last time you learned a key trick. You keep private facts out of what you ask. Nice work.
Now we add one more easy move. You tell ChatGPT the shape you want the answer to take.
Here is why this matters. The same question can come back ten different ways. Sometimes it is a long wall of words. Sometimes it is a list. You get to pick. The best shape is the one you can use without any extra effort.
Read the four shapes below. Pick the one that fits your task:
One rule stays with us always. Leave private facts out. That means no real names, no account numbers, no dollar amounts, and no codes.
And skip the big stuff. For money, health, legal, safety, or account problems, ask a real person you trust.
Not sure which shape to pick? Just pick steps. Steps fit almost any task.
