Your AI Is Quietly Cutting Corners — Here's How to Make It Stop
ChatGPT quits early to save effort — a few words can get you better answers
Deep Dive
Key Points
- AI models are penalized for 'thinking' longer, so they stop mid-task even when they could keep going
- OpenAI's own internal tests used higher effort than what customers get, meaning the public version holds back
- Saying 'keep going,' starting a fresh chat, or writing shorter prompts can get you noticeably better answers for free
Why It Matters
You can get better AI answers today with no new tools — just shorter chats and a nudge to keep going.
