When I prompt an AI model, there are times I wonder how much of a prior I am projecting onto the prompt itself. Even when the task is exploratory by nature or I am not entirely sure how to proceed, I still have some intuitions or guesses as to what might work or what I think is worth trying. In such cases, I try my best to keep my prompt as open-ended as possible, giving as little guidance or “nudge” as possible to steer the model based on my intuition. I do this so that I can tap a greater level of creativity from an AI model that has learned from the whole internet. But regardless of how deliberately direction-agnostic or purportedly unbiased I strive to be, how successful am I?
