Remember when LLMs were entering the mainstream, and everyone shared tips on how to superprompt, and one of the hot tips was to tell the AI to write a prompt itself?

Like:

BAD: "Write the specs for a system that does X Y and Z"

GOOD: "Write me a prompt to write the specs for a system that does X Y and Z."

As if the LLM magically knew all about itself and the best tips and tricks to prompt itself even if it had just came out and there was no scraped information on how to use them yet.
