> "Chat-based LLMs do best with exam-style questions" really speaks to me, however I find that constructing my prompts in such a way where the LLM does what I want uses just as much brainpower as just programming the thing my self. It speaks to me too because my mechanical writing style (as opposed to creative prose) could best be described as what I learned in high school AP English/Literature and the rest of the California education system. For whatever reason that writing style dominated the training data and LLMs just happens to be easy to use because I came out of the same education system as many of the people working at OpenAI/Anthropic. I’ve had to stop using several generic turns of phrase like “in conclusion” because it made my writing look too much like ChatGPT.
