Some thoughts on LLMs and software development

> Certainly if we ever ask a hallucination engine for a numeric answer, we should ask it at least three times, so we get some sense of the variation.

This works on people as well!

Cops do this when interrogating. You tell the same story three times, sometimes backwards. It's hard to keep track of everything if you're lying or you don't recall clearly so you can get a sense of confidence. Also works on interviews, ask them to explain a subject in three different ways to see if they truly understand.

It works to confuse people and make them sound like they’re lying when they’re not, too. Gotta be careful with this.
