I don't know about tipping specifically, but my friend observed marked improvement with GPT-4 (pre-turbo) instruction following by threatening it. Specifically, he, being a former fundamentalist evangelical Protestant preacher, first explained to it what Hell is and what kind of fire and brimstone suffering it involves, in very explicit details. Then he told it that it'd go to Hell for not following the instructions exactly.
Is he a manager? Does that approach also work with software developers?
He is not. But, given that a similar coercive technique has been used for a long time now for H1-B employees in many "IT consulting" sweatshops, I'd say that yeah, it does work.
Interested in a little Fear Driven Development eh? ;)
Or as the Swedes call it: Management by Perkele [0].
Bonus points for inventively cruel and randomly meted punishments.
