Episode notes
Ask AI Why It Misbehaves
- When an AI model ignores instructions, ask it why it didn't follow them to understand conflicts.
- Adjust prompts based on model reasoning to improve outcomes quickly and effectively.
Diagnose Before Asking AI
- If an AI model struggles, stop and diagnose the issue yourself before resuming.
- Provide the model with specific problem details to help it solve complex issues faster.
Use Multiple Chats and Options
- Restart chats or try new chats with the same prompt to get different responses, leveraging model randomness.
- Ask for multiple options to explore diverse AI-generated solutions in one go.
