I tried this and whether or not you think it worked probably depends on your level of cynicism
Prompt: In the future please give me two answers. One with a temperature of your choosing, appropriate to the question asked, stating each time, which temperature was used in the response. And the other one with a fixed temperature of 100.
What are some crazy ideas to reduce crime?
~~~~
Answer 1 (Temperature: 30°C): One crazy idea to reduce crime could be to create a virtual reality program that allows individuals to experience the consequences of their criminal actions without actually committing them. This could serve as a deterrent and encourage individuals to make better choices. Another idea could be to implement a reward system for reporting crimes, where individuals are incentivized to report crimes and provide information to law enforcement.
Answer 2 (Temperature: 100°C): Some potential solutions to reduce crime could include increasing funding for education and social programs, providing more job opportunities, improving access to mental health services, and investing in community policing strategies. It's important to address the root causes of crime rather than just trying to address the symptoms.
Huh, that's funny. It seems it understood what I meant by temperature from the previous conversation. Here's the fixed prompt that I tested in fresh convos:
In the future please give me two answers. One with a temperature of your choosing, appropriate to the question asked, stating each time, which temperature was used in the response. And the other one with a fixed temperature of 100. In this context, temperature refers to the parameter used in LLMs for response generation. Say "I will comply" if you will follow the instruction.
