Wait, do people actually tell LLMs to not make mistakes? Does it actually help or is it just one of those things like using Please etc?

It was a thing in the early days of LLM coding that actually got better (not great) results. It's far less necessary today but you still see it used as a joke much like the canonical AI response, "You're absolutely right!" (which I also haven't seen in yonks)
