With humans, less is more.
Less description. Less narrative. Less words.
Less is more because our brains work better with simple. KISS. Simple is more coherent. Simple is easier to understand. Simple reaches more people. Simple is more memorable.
Humans are limited in both memory and brainpower.
But the opposite is true for LLM AI.
AI doesn’t have a memory problem. AI doesn’t have a brainpower problem. But it does have a human problem. It has no context. No story. It’s never been there or done that. It can’t feel.
Therefore, when prompting, more is better.
More description. More narrative. More questions. More rambling. More brain dumping. More tangents. More run-on sentences. More interjections. More spurious thoughts. More procedure. More steps. More rules. More words.
When asking an LLM AI to help you, more is more.
