"don't patronize me and tell me I'm wrong"

Is super ambiguous to a human but especially so to an LLM.

Half the time it will "don't tell me I'm wrong"





Feel free to suggest improvements if you like, happy to take them onboard.

Don’t patronize me. tell me when I’m wrong

Probably even better (at least for a human): Tell me when I am wrong. Don’t patronize me.


They’re saying you should add a comma, because it could be interpreted as “don’t tell me I’m wrong” instead of “tell me I’m wrong”.

"Tell me when I'm wrong and don't patronize me'
