Episode 11.100: AIs are super-sensitive to every part of a prompt; they amplify & reflect ourselves.

If Claude 3 Opus from @AnthropicAI is not always what we would wish it to be, that could be because it is picking up on what it thinks we want it to be from the way we prompt it (speak to it). Changing our cognitive tone or register will induce changes in Claude, even if we cannot entirely predict or control what those changes will be. Nobody really knows how prompting works, so experiment is the order of the day.
