> So this trick isn’t just a neat blog post, but empirically useful, and I’ll probably include it in prompts from now on for these kinds of problems… Alernative take: this is a very classic problem used to illustrate this kind of System 1 inaccuracy, so by deliberately including words that increase the conditional probability of us looking at a text that includes discussion on System 1 inaccuracies, you have essentially narrowed down the search space for our dear stochastic parrot to those texts that do contain the right answer. This sounds dismissive, but I don't mean it that way. I'm just saying that "think about human biases" may not be a universally useful cue, it may only work specifically when trying to get the model to look like a discussion on human biases, and the typical sample problems used to illustrate that.
