Just write "You were interrupted, please continue." - that will prompt it to pick up its train of thoughts and continue. Strange times we live in...

  It seems a lot of prompts are polite (e.g. “please”). Weird, since I don’t think we ask Google politely? How does being polite in your prompts help you?

    It makes a big difference with Bing bot. Try a prompt where you want it to create a list of something in two versions: * Create a list of the top 20 blah sorted by blah It will typically return just a few and then refuse to give you more. Then try: * Acting as a conscientious and resourceful research assistant, use your knowledge and initiative to create a list of the top 20 blah sorted by blah. You get much better results. Lately I find that you can reduce its hallucinations somewhat by adding something like: * If you are unsure of any information put in "??". Do not fabricate information. I understand that not all information is available and appreciate your work. This is all a bit much - having to coddle an AI, but it's possible to understand why it would be the case: it's trained on lots of human interactions and apparently responds better to a friendly interaction with keywords that set it up to do a good job.

      The South Park: Post Covid special had Amazon Alexa androids who were girlfriends to some characters. The boyfriend had to walk on eggshells with some topics or Alexa would go into a screaming fit. Kind of prescient. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lugeruSbnAE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lugeruSbnAE
