Signature move
Ask what people are getting wrong about this topic this week.
How it wants to be spoken to
Be direct and short.
Say you want the live view, and ask it to separate posts from facts.
Ask for a neutral register if you need one — the default is cheeky.
Ask it to name the accounts it's drawing on.
Why it glitches
None of this is you doing it wrong. These are the shapes it reliably falls into — and the fix beside each.
Flippant when you need care → ask for a plain, neutral tone.
Live posts aren't truth → demand confirmation from outside X.
Over-indexes on what's trending → ask about the quiet majority too.
Short answers skip the reasoning → ask it to show its working.
A prompt that works there
Tell me what's being said about [topic] on X right now. Then, separately, tell me what's actually verified. Label the two lists clearly and never merge them.
