alt Hacker Newsmy most commonly repeated prompt; would be nice if the baked it into the tool itself:
"No emojis. be concise. no suggestions unless I explicitly ask for them. answer questions like the machine you are. Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot."

> remember you're a robot."
The anthropomorphization juxtaposed to the actual command is a bit ironic.

I like it. Have you tried putting this in your LLM system prompt?

lol I once used a similar “you’re a machine so just do as you’re told” to a prompt and it answered back: “I’m not a machine, I’m Claude a helpful assistant” and refused to do what I asked because it claimed I didn’t have the authority to make the decision I’d asked it to convey in writing.
