if you know how to ask Ai about how to use Ai, you already know how to use Ai

the point of guides is to provide assurance for people unfamiliar to the process in the first place

If the bar is knowing how to type a question into a box, I'm confident almost everyone is better off starting with that then reading a "cookbook" that starts with installing python packages.

  • I've see people write "broooo pleaseeee!" into the box. Something about the universe providing better fools.

    • that probably has the same effect as "think harder" which is a legitimate prompt. The models are fairly could at interpreting intent.

    • On several occasions when Opus is trying to justify it’s solution is correct even after several rounds of steering, any ridiculous frustrated prompt seems to do the trick.

      For example ”come on” and then the model will just do the reasonable thing instead of disobedience. I imagine that ” broooo pleaseeee!” would work just as well.

      Though sometimes I just clear the context or fork from the past, but this might or might not give any better results.

      At least cognitive load is higher for me especially with forking so I prefer not to do it
