Research: “You Are An Expert” Prompts Can Damage Factual Accuracy via @Sejournal, @Martinibuster
A recent SE Journal study shows that persona prompting—especially “You are an expert” cues—improves alignment, tone, formatting, and safety but simultaneously degrades factual accuracy on knowledge‑intensive tasks. The effect varies by task type: extraction, STEM, reasoning, writing and role‑play benefit, while math, coding and humanities suffer accuracy losses. To reconcile the trade‑off, the authors introduce PRISM, a routing system that applies personas only when the task intent calls for alignment. The findings suggest selective, intent‑driven prompting rather than blanket expert personas.
