Genius! Why didn't I think of that!
In every RAG guide I've seen, the suggested system prompts always tended to include some more dignified variation of "Please for the love of god only and exclusively use the contents of the retrieved text to answer the user's question, I am literally on my knees begging you."
Also, if reddit is any indication, a lot of people actually think that's all it takes and that the hallucination stuff is just people using LLMs wrong. I mean, it would be insane to pour so much money into something so obviously fundamentally flawed, right?
Yeah that method is clearly flawed. Not enough incense and prayers to the Machine God, no wonder the Machine Spirit is displeased. All praise the machine god of Mars! Praise the Omnissiah!
I've tried screaming "stop overfilling my hboxes" when compiling my TeX document, but it isn't working! Am I prompting it wrong?
yes. perhaps try more emotional guilt-tripping?
It's weird how well telling Stable Diffusion to make an image of something and telling it not to make an ugly image helps it makes a good looking image. I sort of understand it there. I guess folks start to think that's a universal fix or something.
