The widening gulf between free and paid tools. BBC issues editorial guidance for genAI. More prompt design resources. Do people trust GPTs? Inflection AI releases Inflection 2.5.
Thanks for the two resources on generating prompts. I had the opportunity to hear Ethan Mollick speak last week. He said that non-coders were actually better at prompting than coders. I found that interesting. I'm getting better with my prompts - I like your advice on giving them a way out. It addresses one of my concerns that these systems seem to give you an answer to anything you ask. By default, they don't know when to say, I don't know.
Thanks, David. We've built that into our custom instructions for GPT4. But GPT being GPT I don't know if it's following them well or not. Claude 3 Opus seems to be better and following that sort of direction. I hope that's an indication of where things are headed. Ethan's perspective is interesting. We've found that it's easy to over-engineer a prompt. It's like cooking -- how much spice is enough? Just enough.
