Tell these two apart
Two terms you nod along to and could not reliably distinguish.
What is the one test that tells these two apart? Give me the test first, then a borderline example.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Scrutinising ideas. Where a concept stops working, what people get wrong, and whether a claim holds up.
