When you're vibe coding, you need to narrate long prompts, including things like "And remember not to hallucinate or make any errors." All that is a lot faster to say than type.
Clearly, you're not vibe coding, and your job will be (checks notes) automated away by someone with a #grindset.
/s, in case that wasn't obvious.
Actually the tooling is such that you have that written in some kind of a rules file that will then more or less append the rules to the prompt so you wouldn't have to repeat it over and over.
At least I think that's how it works, I was only half listening to the mandatory AI training.
Wondering if those AI trainers know every character you put in that file is another token they're paying for
If youre not using a custom instruction that brute forces different ways to try to get the other model not to fuck uo youre doing it wrong. If that doesn't work, add another llm into the pipe
Edit what is a token and why is my boss sending me angry emails
I was talking to an acquaintance and she was taking AI course.
She was taught to "validate" LLM infos by asking the same question in a different model.
This is an actual university course.
I was baffled. There is no guarantee that both models aren't wrong. But speaking to people that use LLMs, this is a common strategy.
