LLMs produce dramatically better output from long stream-of-consciousness spoken prompts than from short typed prompts.

The case

Using a foot pedal to dictate a long stream-of-consciousness spoken prompt produces dramatically better LLM output than shorter typed prompts.

“When I press the pedal down, I just give a stream of consciousness now. And it turns out what these LLMs actually do really well with is taking a massive stream of consciousness where you just keep talking and talking and talking. So I'll give it a one to twominut prompt. Then I let go and it has changed everything.”
