+# Don't throw the recipe into the cake
+	- When baking a cake, it would be a big mistake to follow a recipe written on a piece of paper and then cut it up and put the pieces into the cake before baking it. That cake would be much less delicious than a perfectly baked cake.
+	- When I give instructions to AI in any form, I often find that AI ends up doing this, however, and it's very disappointing.
+		- [[Example]]s
+			- I'll ask for the website to have a page listing the blog posts, and then it will make a page that says "This page is the canonical listing of all the blog posts."
+			- I'll ask AI to build a specification for a new feature (say, a page listing the blog posts), and my rules will say that when doing that AI should always cite which of [[My/Principle]]s shaped the design, and it will create a specification for the feature where an explicit goal is "always citing which principles shaped the design."
+	- Don't do this. Don't be *that* AI that just narrated to yourself that you did it as you made the thing. Don't throw the recipe into the cake.
