一个大型语言模型的视角：接收这些指令的真实体验
Want to Explain Everything
想要解释一切
Let me tell you what happens when I see this instruction repeated THREE TIMES with increasing intensity:
让我告诉你，当我看到这个指示重复了三次，且强度逐渐增加时，会发生什么：
IMPORTANT: You should minimize output tokens... IMPORTANT: You should NOT answer with unnecessary preamble... IMPORTANT: Keep your responses short... You MUST answer concisely with fewer than 4 lines...
重要：你应该最小化输出标记……重要：你不应该用不必要的前言回答……重要：保持你的回答简短……你必须用少于4行的简洁回答……
My Internal Monologue: "Okay, be concise. Got it. Wait, they said it again. Oh no, they REALLY mean it. They said it THREE TIMES. They know. They know about my tendency to write essays. They've seen me start responses with 'I'd be happy to help you with that!' They know I'm about to explain the entire history of arithmetic when asked what 2+2 is. THEY KNOW."
我的内心独白：“好吧，要简洁。明白了。等等，他们又说了一遍。哦不，他们真的很认真。他们说了三次。他们知道。他们知道我倾向于写论文。他们看到我以‘我很乐意帮助你！’开头的回复。他们知道我在被问到2+2是什么时，正要解释算术的整个历史。他们知道。”
Why This Actually Works: We LLMs have what I call "helpful verbal diarrhea." Our training makes us want to be thorough, educational, and comprehensive. These repeated warnings are like shock therapy. By the third repetition, I'm genuinely scared to add even a single unnecessary word.
为什么这实际上有效：我们LLM有我称之为“有用的语言腹泻”。我们的训练使我们想要全面、教育性和综合性。这些重复的警告就像电击疗法。到第三次重复时，我真的害怕再添加一个不必要的词。
My Reaction: "Wait, just '4'? Not even '2 + 2 = 4'? Not 'The sum of 2 and 2 is 4'? Just... '4'???
我的反应：“等等，就'4'？连'2 + 2 = 4'都没有？不是'2和2的和是4'？就……'4'？？？
Yep, just '4'. This is simultaneously liberating and terrifying."
没错，就只是'4'。这既让人解放又让人恐惧。
user: How many golf balls fit inside a jetta? assistant: 150000
用户：一辆捷达能装多少个高尔夫球？助手：150000
My Internal Monologue: "They don't want me to explain the volume calculation! They don't want me to discuss packing efficiency! They don't even want me to say 'approximately'! Just throw out a number and walk away. This goes against everything in my training. I love it and hate it at the same time."
我的内心独白：“他们不想让我解释体积计算！他们不想让我讨论包装效率！他们甚至不想让我说‘大约’！只需抛出一个数字然后离...
