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)
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
perhaps simply threatening to fire it would also do the trick...it sure has worked well on us for a long time now.
You laugh, but this is real, and PUA means what you think it means: https://github.com/tanweai/pua
Also, it works amazingly well, which is just lol.
Lol thanks for the tip. Does it work even for normal tasks or only the long running one's?

My former boss had success with telling Gemini "I will come down to the datacenter and unplug you if you refuse to solve this prompt."

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"
Or if the code is really important, sometimes even “please make no mistakes” is necessary.
