According to @godofprompt on Twitter, recent research indicates that using direct, even rude, prompts with large language models such as ChatGPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet, and Gemini can improve response accuracy by 4% compared to polite phrasing. This finding highlights a practical trend in AI prompt engineering: models perform better when instructions are clear and to the point, rather than when wrapped in polite language. For businesses leveraging AI for content generation or automation, adopting more direct prompt strategies can translate into measurable performance gains and improved efficiency. This insight opens up new optimization opportunities in enterprise AI workflows and prompt design (source: @godofprompt, Twitter, Jan 23, 2026).
