Let’s start with how weird this sentence is: There’s been no user guide for ChatGPT or other LLMs. How is there no user guide for planet-changing, free-for-all artificial intelligence? I’ve seen user guides for kitchen tongs, for Pete’s sake. There’s no user guide because generative AI is weird and unprecedented. And your brain doesn’t know how to handle weird and unprecedented. That’s why we need to know the trick.
