Some AI models get more accurate at maths if you ask them to respond as if they are a Star Trek character, ML engineers say::Researchers asking a chatbot to optimize its own prompts found it was best at solving grade-school math when acting like it was on Star Trek.
*Picks up wireless mouse* Hello, computer.
is this … transparent Aluminium?
They did it. The crazy son’s of bitches did it! Quite awhile ago, it’s commercially available.
There is also This transparent aluminum (linked in that same article) and it’s been used in phone/watch screens also.
Can you explain this reference for me? I do not understand.
Go watch Star Trek IV first
I’ve seen it, but it was a while ago.
Undiscovered Countries was my favourite TOS movie, because it covered the historically important Khitomer Accords.
Then go watch it second

It’s a reference to this scene from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).
Explanation without video
Scotty, having traveled back in time to the year 1986 as part of a mission to rescue some whales, attempts to use a computer by speaking to it and then mistakenly tries to use the mouse as a microphone when the machine does not respond. He is prompted to use the keyboard instead of verbal commands and gives information on how to manufacture transparent aluminum. This material was not invented until about 150 years later according to the pre-trip history of the Star Trek future but Scotty has given it a head start.
Helping people with their work through teams has taught me that voice control is a disaster to get anything done for anything other than just dictating text.

Are you sure?!
Its because it dosent try to answer right, but more what it thinks toy want to see/read 🤷
It is only logical that an algorithm trained on the ways of a Vulcan, is precise and accurate in it operation and communication. Vastly more fascinating are the result when you ask it to behave like a human.
Doh. This says to have the AI write the prompt for you, but it doesn’t give any examples of doing that.
I don’t want to get into a rabbit hole looking up examples from the wide internet.
LLM detractors hate this one weird trick
We’ve finally figured out how to trick the computer that’s bad at math into being less bad at math.
AI models get more dishonest if you ask them to respond as if they were a pirate: https://www.circusscientist.com/2023/11/13/i-hired-a-pirate-to-take-orders-for-my-entertainment-business/
