simply ask the word generator machine to generate better words, smh

this is actually the most laughable/annoying thing to me. it betrays such a comprehensive lack of understanding of what LLMs do and what "prompting" even is. you're not giving instructions to an agent, you are feeding a list of words to prefix to the output of a word predictor

in my personal experiments with offline models, using something like "below is a transcript of a chat log with XYZ" as a prompt instead of "You are XYZ" immediately gives much better results. not good results, but better
