UnverifiedIn prompt engineering, positive framing is preferable to negative prohibition, because the model's attention is easily skewed by repeatedly mentioned concepts, making it more reliable to describe what to do than to emphasize what not to do.79% similarUnverified负面指令（'不要做X'）的处理并非语言模型的天然强项，模型更擅长'朝着某个方向生成'而非'避免某个方向'78% similarUnverified负面指令（如'不要添加未被要求的内容'）往往比模糊的正面指令（如'请简洁回答'）更有效77% similarUnverifiedUncensoring primarily affects a model's tendency to refuse, rather than its fundamental reasoning and generation capabilities, so capability loss is not significant for alignment-insensitive tasks such as coding.76% similarUnverifiedNegative guidance typically faces an awkward situation: the harder it avoids, the worse the generation quality.76% similar
