<p>Thanks.  Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane attempting to ŕeason with people who think the opposite.  That these are oracles imbued with human level intellect and creativity.<p>Now, sure, these models can be impressive - but it's a warped lens of humanities own impressive (selected) corpuses.</p>

<p>My take is its less so about being physically comfortable, but there is a different type of comfort by the protection of the nest from predators.  It's like being uncomfortable to have peace of bird mind, in other words.</p>

<p>> expresses instructions<p>To instruct is akin to providing an input.  Where do we input to?  The program.  The program is programmed; but most importantly, the input is <i>not</i> programmed in the sense the program is programmed.  It is, perhaps, thoughfully designed (or not).  This role is best described as Prompt Designing or Prompt Engineering, not Prompt "Programming".  In any case, it is indeed very important.  But in my respectful opinion, it is not programming.<p>It's kind of like thinking that entering a query into a search engine is programming - a host of techniques can be utilized to optimize how that input effects the output (tomes can be written on this just as they can for LLM prompt design by now).<p>I can kind of defend that premise but it breaks the meaning of conventional usages, and creates more confusion than it brings clarity.</p>

<p>No...prompts are definitely not programs, prompts are inputs to programs.  How someone can write a blog post on such a demonstrably fallacious premise is beyond me.<p>I am beginning to write a blog post in rebuttal, because it's so fascinating.</p>

<p>I'd think the application would be used more for understanding the psychedelic experience.  Not about safety.  There is such a wide tome of experiences - there are going to emerge similarities to a knowledgeable AI that can load it all up at once.  I'm very curious what patterns can emerge with up to date language models.</p>
