No, the correct way is to have it reason from first principles: 1. "Think about what are the underlying principles for evaluating the truthiness of statements like 'X' - list them out, explain why you chose each one, what tradeoffs you made, why you believe it's the right tradeoff in this case" 2. Start a new conversation and make the system prompt be that set of principles 3. In the user prompt, ask it to decompose X into a weighted formula for those principles and give a sub-score for each principle. 4. Finally, based on the weighted sum, ask it to determine if X is true or not true, and ask it to provide a confidence score between 0 and 1 for its response
