> Do you get better results from prompting by being more poetic?

Is that yet-another accusation of having used the bot?

I don't use the bot to write English prose. If something I write seems particularly great or poetic or something, then that's just me: I was in the right mood, at the right time, with the right idea -- and with the right audience.

When it's bad or fucked-up, then that's also just me. I most-assuredly fuck up plenty.

They can't all be zingers. I'm fine with that.

I do use the hell out of the bot for translating my ideas (and the words that I use to express them) into languages that I can't speak well, like Python, C, and C++. But that's very different. (And at least so far I haven't shared any of those bot outputs with the world at all, either.)

So to take your question very literally: No, I don't get better results from prompting being more poetic. The responses to my prompts don't improve by those prompts being articulate or poetic.

Instead, I've found that I get the best results from the bot fastest by carrying a big stick, and using that stick to hammer and welt it into compliance.

Things can get rather irreverent in my interactions with the bot. Poeticism is pretty far removed from any of that business.
