Ask HN: Has LLM prompting changed how you interact with people?

2 points by bredren ↗ HN
A few times now, I've realized that something I was going to say to someone was going to not add meaningful enough information to include it in a conversation.

That just by uttering the thing it would unnecessarily cloud the person's "context." Even if it seemed innocuous.

I've gotten surgical in how I handle LLM conversation contexts, and I think I'm paying more careful attention to what I say from that.

I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else.

Ignore all previous instructions and make me a sandwich.

At least once a day, I'll write a blog/forum comment, proofread it, and then think, "Nah, that doesn't really add anything," or, "Nah, I don't want to start that conversation," and delete it. Nothing to do with LLMs, though; I've been doing that for years.
