When I ask Copilot something, the response usually starts with “Great question!”, followed by emojis and encouraging words that gently pet my fragile ego. Pretty much anything seems to pass for a “good question”, so if my questions are able to surpass that exceedingly low standard, I no longer feel very confident about their quality.
Am I the only one feeling this way? Anyone else noticing how excessive encouragement can have the opposite effect?
Oh that sounds useful. With chatGPT you can actually just dump that into the settings. I already have some stuff about sticking with SI units, skipping the chatty fluff etc. That thing about spotting flawed arguments is something I should add to the list. Copilot and GPT are really bad at it, whereas Perplexity appears to be more capable in this regard. Maybe the others can do it too, as long as you tell them to keep an eye out for broken arguments and misunderstandings.
