Bootstrap prompt clarification

Clarification sought by the AI

Before starting task 1, I’d like to clarify a few points so I can give you the most effective advice on improving your prompt:

Scope of "young people" – Are you focusing on university students only (as suggested in warnings_about_ai.txt), or more broadly on school pupils, early career professionals, etc.?
Length and format of short-form essay – Are we aiming for something like 500–800 words, op-ed style, or a shorter, sharper think piece?
Use of literature – When you say “review the literature,” should that be limited to the project files and your prior knowledge, or should I also pull in external, up-to-date sources?
Tone and audience – Should the essay lean towards academic argument, persuasive public writing, or more of a reflective/ethical think piece?
Weighting of dangers vs. positive framing – Should the essay focus almost entirely on the risks, or also acknowledge responsible/beneficial uses of AI for young thinkers?

Once I have these answers, I can refine your prompt so it fully leverages my capabilities and sets up the initiation phase for success.

The scope initially is broad. Later, during analysis and synthesis, we will focus on university students.
Change the goal to be a standard essay. This will be a concise piece of reflective writing, length up to 1,500 words.
Pull in external, up-to-date sources.
The essay should lean towards a reflective/ethical think piece.
The focus will be on if and how responsible uses of AI can overcome the dangers posed to young people.
