A useful AI bug report usually compares what was expected with what was observed, using the smallest non-sensitive example that still triggers the issue. Hypothetically, a stronger report for an AI writing tool would include the exact prompt shape, any system or template instructions, the model or mode selected if relevant, and the output snippet that looks wrong. A weak report often says only “the AI ignored my instructions”, while a stronger one shows a short input such as “Summarise this in three bullet points” and then notes that the output returned a paragraph instead. That helps humans separate prompt design problems from possible product defects and lets support, product and users discuss the same workflow clearly. Which single setting or prompt line seems most important in your failing example?
