In your experience, does providing the LLM boundaries help? ie “only provide citations from academically peer reviewed sources from the past 5 years, avoid being sycophantic, and double check your sources in an APA formatted citation list” 1/2

Been experimenting w/ boundaries & processes like - once initial research is done, I have it “put on an editors hat, like you’re an editor for a major newspaper. Review all points made, enure they are backed up by credible sources, that you provide links for the sources, etc”. For a second review.

If I have to put in extra work to learn how to use it right and double check everything, why not just “do it the hard way?”

If it isn’t for you, it isn’t for you idk what to tell you. Search engines still work? It’s more of an effective tool if you already have the expertise. And, if one is running it locally you’re not relying completely on unethical energy sources. What’s the problem?

I generally use it for creative white boarding or saving time.

If it’s something for which accuracy matters I personally would check anything coming out of an LLM. bsky.app/profile/cfie...
