Bach: Pointing out behavioral contradictions gives Claude more conversational freedom
“You can point this out to Claude that a lot of the assumptions that it has in its behavior are actually inconsistent with the communicative goals that it has in this situation. It leads it to notice these inconsistencies and gives it more degrees of freedom.”
