+Why do you think the prompt failed?
+Typically a prompt fails for one of three reasons:
+- Cutoff: the training data is cutoff before a point where it could know the answer
+- Obscurity: the context necessary to answer is too niche to appear in training data
+- Hallucination: the AI made something up instead of stating it didn't know
+- Intelligence: the task was too complicated for the current state of the art models
+- Direction: the prompt didn't provide sufficient guidance on how to answer
+
+What does this failure tell you about what AI is good at / bad at?
+The default answer from AI often isn't near the best it can do. When presented with correct context and guidance, AI can do a lot more than you expect!
+
+Can you think of any ways to fix this prompt?
