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?
Yep. Tell it to lie and it will.
