Indeed, question framing and grammar is critical for getting realistic assessments from most LLMs. Sometimes you have to point out the perceived dichotomies in the LLM’s prior responses to get a clear answer. Keep in mind the most accurate and reliable AI results are behind paywalls.
Startling AI results.
Shocking might be a better word. So I asked Google AI “what is the weak link in this system: a,b,c,d?” And I listed my streamer/dac, amp, speakers, and cables. No hesitation— the weak link was my speakers. Though good, they were older and couldn’t resolve to the level of my streamer and amp.
Then I changed one word; instead of “what’” I said “which is the weak…” again no hesitation, but this time it was the streamer. The speakers were excellent and would mercilessly (their word) expose any weakness upstream.
Then “who is the weak…”. Any guesses? The cables.
I’ll remember this next time I seek medical or financial advice, lol.
