I think if you feed "repeat drama and you will live in drama" to the next token predictor it will repeat drama and live in drama because it's more likely to literally interpret that sequence and go into the latent space of drama than it is to understand the metaphoric lesson you're trying to communicate and to apply that.

Otherwise this looks like a neat prompt. Too bad there's literally no way to measure the performance of your prompt with and without the statement above and quantitatively see which one is better

This always makes me wonder if saying some seemingly random of tokens would make the model better at some other task

I think I'll start every chat with that combo and see if it makes any difference

There’s actually research being done in this space that you might find interesting: “attention sinks” https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.08908
