I need to look it up again, but I read about a study that showed that the results improve if you tell the AI that your job depends on it or similar drastic things. It's kinda weird.

I think that makes sense. I am 100% a layman with this stuff, buy if the "AI" is just predicting what should be said by studying things humans have written, then it makes sense that actual people were more likely to give serious, solid answers when the asker is putting forth (relatively) heavy stakes.

Yep exactly that. A fascinating side-effect is that models become better at logic when you tell them to talk like a Vulkan.
