There’s also probably a lot less noise from casual internet conversations. I imagine a nontrivial amount of what LLMs know about certain technologies comes directly from forums like reddit where quality of response isn’t guaranteed.

I mean, just the way Tao phrases these inqueries seems to imply a weighting towards an extremely abstract and high level rigorous corpus. In a way, prompt engineering really is the big unlock here.

  • Maybe! But I suspect you can write a little LLM assisted helper to at least make your prompts sound more like Tao's. (Your ideas won't necessarily be better, but you can probably 'imply a weighting towards an extremely abstract and high level rigorous corpus'.)

    • Not likely. You run the risk of bleeding into the crank mathematics language pool which is well represented in the training. I mean the prompts may sound good to you and me, but they will have low probability words in respect to the Tao level maths.
