Threats and Tips Don’t Improve AI Performance Study
By
–
New prompting report, from us: Don't bother with threats. Does threatening an AI really make it perform better (the way Google founder Brin claimed)? How about offering to tip the AI? We find no impact of threats or tips on average performance (but variance at question level)
