Prompt designers are human (when they're not other LLMs). So many of these prompt conditioners (do we actually know the provenance of these? is this real?) are clearly written by humans who abjectly believe in the ghost in the machine, and that they are talking to an intelligence, perhaps a superior intelligence.

I remain convinced there must be some other way to address LLMs to optimize what you can get out of them, and that all this behavior exacerbates the hype by prompting the machine to hollowly ape 'intelligent' responses.

It's tailoring queries for ELIZA. I'm deeply skeptical that this is the path to take.
