The CORRECT way to use ChatGPT (in 2025)
🧠 The Correct Way to Use ChatGPT in 2025: Why How You Ask Matters
By Reality2Reel.net – Aug 6, 2025
ChatGPT and AI tools have become essential in our creative workflows, research, business planning, and even casual brainstorming. But in 2025, just “using” AI isn’t enough — how you use it determines everything. That’s the exact point of the video “The CORRECT way to use ChatGPT (in 2025)” published by Vox and explained by reporter Kelsey Piper.
If you’ve ever felt like AI gave you a bland or useless answer, this blog post is for you.
🧩 The Key Takeaway: Better Prompts = Better Reasoning
The video lays out a critical idea:
“Reasoning models perform best when the question is important or hard, and when you're willing to wait a little longer for a better answer.”
This turns the usual “quick tip” or “copy-paste prompt” advice on its head.
ChatGPT isn’t just a search engine. It’s a reasoning model — which means it shines when you treat it more like a collaborator than a vending machine.
🗣️ What You're Probably Doing (That’s Holding You Back)
If you’re using ChatGPT like this:
“Write me a business plan”
“What’s a good name for my brand?”
“Give me 10 hashtags for music promotion”
You’re not using it wrong, but you are limiting its power.
Instead, the video suggests pushing ChatGPT into thinking, reasoning, and refining — especially for complex, open-ended, or subjective problems.
✅ How to Use ChatGPT the Right Way in 2025
Ask Big, Real Questions
Not: “Give me YouTube ideas”
Try: “I want to grow my YouTube around indie hip hop reviews. What would a 3-month content strategy look like that builds trust with new viewers?”
Show Your Work and Let AI Build From It
Not: “Write a song”
Try: “Here’s a rough chorus I wrote. Can you suggest a bridge that keeps the same tone but flips the meaning?”
Refine Iteratively
Think of ChatGPT like a partner: you’ll go back and forth.
Ask for critiques, comparisons, alternatives — not just answers.
Don’t Fear the Wait
A slower, deeper answer (even 20–30 seconds longer) often means it’s drawing on richer reasoning or broader context.
📈 Why This Matters for Creators & Entrepreneurs
If you run a business, make content, or are building something new (like we do at Reality2Reel), this method:
Produces higher-quality strategies
Helps you see blind spots in your thinking
Turns AI from a “tool” into a thinking partner
This is especially critical for artists, writers, marketers, and founders — people solving hard, creative problems every day.
🎯 Final Thought: Train Your Prompts Like Muscles
The more effort and specificity you put into your prompts, the more powerful your results become. Don’t rush it. Think deeply, communicate clearly, and let ChatGPT stretch its reasoning legs.
If you’re not getting great answers… the model might not be the problem. 👀
