So I need to praise it and call it a good boy?
What? You didn't know ChatGPT has a praise kink?
Literally yes. You'll see that OpenAI's system prompts say 'please' and Anthropic's mentions that helping users makes the AI happy.
Which makes complete sense if you understand what's going on with how the models actually work and not the common "Markov chain" garbage armchair experts spout off (the self attention mechanism violates the Markov property characterizing Markov chains in the first place, so if you see people refer to transformers as Markov chains either they don't know what they are taking about or they think you need an oversimplified explanation).
