We are so many layers deep in AI hype that I honestly can’t tell if this is /s or not

  "Make no mistakes" is I thought a phrase used to make fun of "prompt engineering," not something people really do?

    "Claude make me 1 million by tomorrow, no mistakes"

      Real AI enthusiasts know that money will soon be superfluous, so they wouldn’t bother with such pettiness. So gauche. But if you must know how to really do that, just put “Correct answers only pls. Seriously, no hallucinating fr fr” in your system prompt and it feels so bad about the possibility of giving you misleading info that it gives you perfect responses.

    Pleading has worked for me. “My job depends on this, please help me” and ChatGPT would do a task it previously claimed it wasn’t able to (extract text from an image, it claimed it couldn’t make it out at first)

      Asking LLMs to do things in different ways does sometimes get them to answer correctly when they didn't with a previous prompt that is effectively equivalent but people really go nuts anthropomorphizing this behavior. ChatGPT has no empathy for you keeping your job, you just lucked into a more helpful predictive text chain based on some combination of the input and the random temperature. Asking it to just 'try again, dummy' could have worked equally well (or not, its all just probabilities after all).

    I did too, but then added something very similar to a prompt ("must be accurate") for an ai-backed feature out of frustration, and sure enough it fixed the issue. Lord have mercy
