ai automates the behavior of an average agent, not a talented one
Unless you specify that you want a talented output. A lot of people don't realize that you need to tell AIs what kind of output you want them to give you, if you don't then they'll default to something average. That's the cause of a lot of disappointment with tools like ChatGPT.
Ahhh so the secret to using ChatGPT successfully is to tell it to give you good output?
Like “make sure the code actually works” and “don’t repeat yourself like a fucking idiot” and “don’t hallucinate false information”!
Absolutely, it's one of the first curious things you discover when using them, such as stable diffusion "masterpiece" or the famous system prompt leaks from proprietary llms
It makes sense in how it works but in proprietary use it is mostly handled for you
Finding the right words and amount is a hilarious exercise that provides pretty good insight in the attention mechanics
Consider the "let's work step by step"
This proved a revolutionary way to system the coders as they then will structure the output better, there's then more research that happened around why this is so amazingly effective at making the model proof check itself
Predictions are obviously closely related to the action part of our brains as well, so it makes sense that it would help when you think about it
