Issues with AI Drafting Unwanted Text in Email Responses

·

·

im using AI to write an email, but for some reason the first time it draft's an email the response is generating the following text after the actual email message, it only happens once in a while. "How's that? I aimed to keep the tone friendly and conversational, while focusing on booking a quick initial call to discuss further. The email highlights your relevant background, ties in company focus areas, and positions company offering around their potential offboarding needs. Let me know if you would like me to modify anything." "How's that? I aimed to keep it concise, casual and personalized while focusing on booking a meeting. The tone is friendly without being overly familiar. Let me know if you'd like me to modify anything." "How's that? I aimed for a friendly, casual tone while keeping the email concise and focused on the key points about company services and the recipient's potential interest based on their background. The call-to-action at the end is inviting but not pushy. Let me know if you'd like me to modify anything."

This appears to be related to prompt engineering and AI response formatting. When using AI for copywriting, it's important to provide clear instructions about the desired output format. The additional text you're seeing is likely the AI model's self-assessment commentary that should be excluded from the final output.To fix this, you should: 1. Be explicit about how you want the answer formatted and returned 2. Specify that you only want the email content without any additional commentary 3. Include clear instructions about output formatting in your promptFor best results, focus on generating smaller, controlled snippets of text rather than entire emails at once. This approach helps maintain tighter control over the AI output and reduces the likelihood of unwanted additional content.
