  > you can't have one LLM to read your mind to prompt another LLM
I’m excited to inform you that we as a species have developed a particularly useful facility known as Language which these LLM tools are evidently rather handy at wielding. This facility is particularly useful in this context when it takes the form of “dialog” or “questioning”, which can be used to propagate abstract ideas by means of mutually-feedback-guided-iterative-Language-use-turns, or more concisely, “conversation.”

One might even say that this remarkable facility can be used to “read” the ideas from one entity’s mind, such that after sufficient dialog the second entity obtains a (possibly lossy, but there are mitigations for this) copy of the ideas of the first. You might further be surprised to learn that this sort of idea-transfer business using language has already been happening in our society and species for quite some time indeed.

This is a lot of words to say that a human can prompt an LLM to tell it what they want.

edit: it reminds me of all that I have to wade through after I've asked an LLM a straightforward question and the answer should have been "yes, you're right."
