Fleuret Proposes Sock Sand Penalty for AI Phrases

François Fleuret, research scientist at Meta FAIR and professor heading the machine learning group at the University of Geneva, posted a reply to @menhguin, @Adu, and @vicentesurraco. He suggested adding an instruction to master prompts so that every use of terms like 'smoking gun', 'load bearing', or 'pushback' results in a spoon of sand being added to the writer's wet, cold socks. The post presents the rule as a direct way to discourage those expressions during text generation.
