“you need to get more scientific with something that's going to be in production and that could be as simple as you know just running that prompt like 30 times um and then pasting it into Google doc right um and and then just reviewing like okay like how often does it do bad things”
Run the prompt 100 times in async, then review the failures
Running a prompt once and shipping it is the prompt-engineering equivalent of medieval bloodletting — a lucky hit mistaken for a working system.
