That's a tip I recommend people to try when they are using LLMs to solve stuff. Instead of asking "how to..", ask "what alternatives are there to...". A top-k answer is way better, and you get to engage more with whatever you are trying to learn/solve.
- sschueller 8mo agoSame if you are coding, ask "Is it possible" not "How do I" as the second one will more quickly result in hallucinations when you are asking it for something that isn't possible.
- actionfromafar 8mo ago"Is it possible" is the conservative choice if you don't want to get an explanation of something that in fact, cannot be done. But it seems "is it possible" also leads it into answering "no, it can't" probably modelling a bunch of naysayers. Sometimes, if you coax it a little bit, it will tell you how to do a thing which is quite esoteric.
