First, these tips and tricks that ”works for me” aren’t universal, it may or may not work, there’s literally no way to tell other than to run large scale empirical experiments, otherwise it’s just mythbuilding.
Secondly, it can be even worse. I’ve been ”gaslighted” when pressing on answers I knew were incorrect (in this case, cryptography). It comes up with extremely plausibly sounding arguments, specifically addressing my counterpoints, and even chain of reasoning, yet still isn’t correct. You’d have to be a domain expert to tell it’s wrong, at which point it makes no sense to use LLMs in the first place.
