The answer was good.Then another report arrives and changes the picture. The first answer is buried in an old chat. The second is in a new one. You now have to remember which finding came from which document and whether the two reports agree.Andrej Karpathy’s LLM Wiki proposal has a sensible answer: keep the original sources and

    How to Stop AI Writing Sounding Generic (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    7 constraints to add to your prompt files that eliminate robotic filler, corporate cliches and predictable generic frameworks.You wrote a good prompt. Role, audience, tone, word count, two examples. The output still came back sounding like a press release that had been through a compliance review.The reason is mechanical. A model fills every gap you leave with the most probable option, and probable means the phrasing everyone else’s output already contains. Your prompt described the shape of the

    The prompt structure I stopped using after it made me lazier (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    There’s a prompt structure almost everyone lands on eventually. Role, task, context, format, constraints. Feed it a topic, get back something that looks finished.It works.

    Why your AI gives worse answers when the stakes are higher (and what to do about it) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Ask an AI to name a decent restaurant in York and you’ll get a useful answer. Ask it whether you should drop the client who pays 40% of your income, and you’ll get something that reads just as confidently and is worth a great deal less.This isn’t a feeling. Researchers at Stanford ran 11 models across thousands of advice scenarios in March and found the models endorsed the user’s position 49% more often than a human adviser would. Where the user’s described behaviour was actually harmful, the mo
