Trying to imagine the person writing that prompt. There must have been a moment where they looked away from the screen, stared into the distance, and asked themselves “the fuck am I doing here?”… right?
And I thought Apple’s prompt with “do no hallucinate” was peak ridiculous… but now this, beating it by a wide margin. How can anyone claim that this is even a remotely serious technology. How deeply in tunnel vision mode must they be to continue down this path. I just cannot comprehend.
A day later and I’m still in disbelief about that windsurf prompt. To make a point about AI, I think in the future you could just show them that prompt (maybe have it ready on a laminated card) and ask for a general comment.
Although… depending on how true the true belief is, it might not have the intended effect.
