There is a fine line between "following my instructions" (is what I want it to do) vs "thinking all I do is great" (risky, and annoying). A good engineer will also list issues or problems, but at the same time won't do other than required because (s)he "knows better". The worst is that it is impossible to switch off this constant praise. I mean, it is so ingrained in fine tuning, that prompt engineering (or at least - my attempts) just mask it a bit, but hard to do so without turning it into a contrarian. But I guess the main issue (or rather - motivation) is most people like "do I look good in this dress?" level of reassurance (and honesty). It may work well for style and decoration. It may work worse if we design technical infrastructure, and there is more ground truth than whether it seems nice. | ||
