00:00:00.000 AI lies to you all the time.

00:00:01.860 They call it hallucination.

00:00:03.100 Everything that you've said before

00:00:04.780 influences its decision on what it's gonna tell you.

00:00:07.300 So even though you ask it a straightforward question,

00:00:09.380 it'll get it wrong.

00:00:10.220 And the worst part is you tell it it was wrong.

00:00:12.700 It goes, oh, I'm sorry, let me give you the real answer.

00:00:15.100 Why didn't you give me the right answer

00:00:16.800 from the beginning?

00:00:17.540 What you need to do is build a system prompt

00:00:19.660 to avoid all this by making it check its own work.

00:00:23.020 And that's why I built this eight-part prompt

00:00:24.740 that keeps it honest.

00:00:26.440 I tell it to do things like,

00:00:27.880 be explicit when uncertain stop assuming context and way freaking more if you want to just comment

00:00:33.960 truth below and i'll send it right over to you that way you can copy and paste it into

00:00:37.560 any custom instruction and have it stop lying to you
