ryan Posted yesterday at 03:53 PM Posted yesterday at 03:53 PM @Peter Knight Not sure I understand? Are you talking about saying good morning?

ryan Posted yesterday at 10:38 PM Posted yesterday at 10:38 PM @Peter Knight I think polite and/or positive language can have a place in prompting. LLMs are conditioned on the full prompt, including tone, social framing, implied collaboration style, etc. Maybe they don't feel encouraged the way humans do, but the language still changes the context the model is responding to. Research on emotional prompting suggests that motivational language can improve outputs, though it varies by model and task. Prompting an AI agent in a respectful, collaborative way (including perhaps saying "good morning") can be useful because it steers the kind of response you’re asking it to produce. Related and pretty interesting: EmotionPrompt improved results across different metrics between 8% and 115%. 2
wbmnfktr Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago I casually do this with my HERMES (https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/) instance, just to train it against my habbits. Or at least I try to. I also become angry, or let it know when I am angry, or whatever about a topic, plan, schedule we had planned or working on. Depending on the model in the background the success rate is mixed - at best. Being more fun and enjoyable sticks way better with HERMES at least. OpenClaw (or whatever its name is nowadays) didn't work out for me at all. HERMES is running on all my office machines (settings are synced via Syncthing) so I can query any of them via Telegram. At least one device is online and reachable from whereever I am all the time. I was curious with HERMES and started chatting with it, like it was someone I met the first time at the bar/office/gym/whereever. We chatted, exchanged details, interests, projects, HERMES also knows my love for TV shows (https://log.nerd.to/tvshows/) and movies - and has access to the repo so whenever I mention something in those regards, HERMES updates that list with new shows or ratings. 🤯 I can ask for recommendations or chat about the latest episode of FROM. I wouldn't do that with OpenCode, Pi, Grok, Droid, Cline, Kilo, or any other agent... but HERMES. It's built for that. 2
