Why Your AI Prompts Aren’t Working (The Attention Zone Problem Nobody Talks About)
The article reveals a hidden "attention zone" problem in AI prompting: large language models focus heavily on the beginning and end of a prompt while skimming the middle. This primacy‑recency effect mirrors human memory patterns and explains why many prompts produce incomplete or off‑target results. By reorganizing prompts into three zones—core task at the top, supporting context in the middle, and precise output instructions at the bottom—users can align with the model’s natural attention flow. The piece recommends the OCE (Outcome, Context, Expectations) framework to implement this structure.
