I did brain science at Cambridge. Now I'm a behaviour science professor. Read my shit.

Shadow Prompting—how your AI prompts are altered:

When you type a prompt into an AI image model, you might expect that what you type has a meaningful impact on what you get back … OpenAI has acknowledged that what you prompt is only taken as a suggestion: your words are altered before they reach the model, with opaque editorial decisions employed to filter out problematic requests and obscure the model’s inherent biases.

If you don’t do the thinking, the thinking will be done for you.
