#221 Neil: Stanford's 8-Word Fix For Boring AI Is Finally Here
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
Your AI isn't broken, it's just stuck in "mode collapse." We thought this was permanent. But a Stanford study found an 8-word 'key' to get back the creativity. It's not magic, it's just a smarter way to ask. Learn the "Verbalized Sampling" method. 🔑
We'll talk about:
- Why AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude give safe, repetitive, and boring answers.
- The "mode collapse" problem and how human safety training accidentally caused it.
- A new, simple 8-word fix from Stanford University called "Verbalized Sampling."
- The science of why asking for "probabilities" forces the AI to be more creative.
- Specific, copy-and-paste prompts you can use right now on any AI model.
- How this method dramatically increases idea diversity (up to 2.1x) without breaking safety.
Keywords: Verbalized Sampling, AI Creativity, Prompt Engineering, Stanford AI Research, AI Alignment, AI Researches.
