@peteskomoroch From the POV of this tweet, better prompts probably just do a better job of limiting the search space than vague questions Worth noting that questions work like this on people too

This insight makes obvious to them what is obscured from many other perspectives. Like: the core role of prompting is to make the many undesired continuations _impossibly unlikely_, subtracting from the scope of the left-hand side of p(next | context) by adding to the right.
