← Back to context

If the explicit role-playing prompt is just to identify multi-valent terms, then revising the question to include more specific context without a role-play prompt should work just as well right? I’d be really interested if anyone has evaluated that hypothesis

A fun (frustrating) feature of language is that we get these name collisions even with a single domain. One that I have to remember to revise myself fairly often these days when chatting with other experts in my field is “diffusion model” which can either mean generative deep learning or a differential equation describing mass transport.

LoRA/LoRa always makes me chuckle. Feels like a turf war. And in the photography world, "AI model" is overloaded.

And indeed — beyond specific guidance around tool management, you have to wonder if a very minimal prompt and a /grill-me or /ubiquitous-language approach, narrowed to focus on what matters this time, wouldn't do better. I have been playing with this idea as I try to learn all this stuff in a local model context.
