I published a blog post last month asserting as a footnote that telling ChatGPT in the system prompt "You will receive a $500 tip for a good response" does improve model performance, but Hacker News got very mad and called it pseudoscience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38782678

I am working on a new blog post to hopefully demonstrate this effect more academically.
