When Prompt Enhancers Hallucinate Your Intent
Episode 4442
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
That "enhance prompt" button hides a dangerous secret — especially when it's running in an agentic pipeline with no human oversight. We break down the two failure modes Daniel is worried about: content loss (the enhancer drops a constraint you needed) and content invention (it hallucinates requirements you never asked for). Then we get concrete: what a well-constructed enhancer system prompt actually looks like, why distillation beats expansion, and when the best enhancement is no enhancement at all.
