Diversity-Boosting Prompting Strategies

1. Generate 30 ideas and kill the obvious ones. 2. Use temperature and sampling parameters aggressively to push models out of default mode. 3. Cross-reference multiple models AND multiple prompting strategies: same model with different prompts often beats different models with the same prompt. 4. Add constraints that force novelty: 'Give me ideas a traditional investor would hate' beats 'give me creative ideas'. 5. Use structured techniques like Verbalized Sampling to force the model toward low-probability outputs instead of consensus defaults. 6. Layer your own taste and judgment on top of everything: the model gives raw material; your weirdness and experience make it original.
