Step-by-step procedures: what you need, when to do them, and what can go wrong.
A procedure
Consult an AI oracle
Question, aspect, prompt, reading, independent check and close.
What it is
To use a model as a reflective instrument without granting it authority.
At a glance
- When
- Any time; a fixed hour makes a series comparable.
How to do it
- Write the question and the aspect.
- Write a prompt with a role, a question and a constraint.
- Read the answer slowly and mark the lines that land.
- Check every factual claim independently.
- Write the action and the record.
- Close the session and leave the model.
What you need
- A model
- A prompt template
- A ledger
- An independent source for facts
A worked example
Question: 'what is the smallest next step?' Mercury. The model returns three options; one is checked against the notes and becomes the action.
What can go wrong
- The model's confidence is taken as accuracy.
- Private information is pasted into a hosted model.
- The reading replaces a decision the person could make.
Background
Keeping a record
The question, prompt, seed, reading and check.
