Make sure you ask the AI not to hallucinate because it will sometimes straight up lie. It’s also incapable of counting.

But where is it fun in it if I can't make it hallucinate?

I do feel bad when I have to tell it not to. Hallucinating is fun!

But does it work to tell it not to hallucinate? And does it work the other way around too?

It’s honestly a gamble based on my experience. Instructions that I’ve given ChatGPT have worked for a while, only to be mysteriously abandoned for no valid reason. Telling AI not to hallucinate is apparently common practice from the research I’ve done.

Makes me wonder: Can I just asked it to hallucinate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yep. Tell it to lie and it will.
