Care to elaborate? Curious about this. Is this because LLMs have been geared towards understanding user user intent behind a prompt rather than following the instructions exactly?

There's a full fledged 'reasoning' step that basically expands your prompt.

As long as you are not missing important information, how you word the prompt does not have any effect.

Isn’t that a huge simplification? Of course the way you phrase the prompt can carry semantic meaning, maybe subtly, but still. And sometimes that matters a little and sometimes a lot. I’ve stopped numerous agent sessions over the last few weeks to reword my initial prompt to get the agent off an unintended track.

Oh yeah, I suspected it was something like this. Thanks!
