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.
Did they try to ask the models to act as Euler, Gauss or Tao?
Tao said he would ask the AI model to pretend to be a colleague before asking it anything. So your suggestion works!
