5. LLM prompt snapshots: example. See files below with promptEvolution in their names. Refer to the covering letter for my process.
6. 😎 Preview of running the LLM analysis prompt included at the end of the article: To see what readers can expect to see, please refer to files below with analyzeThis in their names (e.g, ibmapple,analyzeThis,1.html). As detailed in the covering letter, your readers can simply paste the entire article (ibmapple,article.md) into an LLM and hit Enter to explore further. The default analysis prompt prompts the LLM to double-check the article's points in an unbiased manner. However, obviously that is just the start. Readers can tweak the prompt to continue on their learning journey. For instance, some readers may find it hard to believe that Apple cleared $1 billion in the early 1980s. Some even more advanced readers can even type over the article with their own arguments and see what an LLM analysis says. I look forward to reading insightful responses.
