I somehow know when it's going to be accurate

Are you familiar with Dunning-Kruger?

Sure but you can benchmark accuracy and LLMs are trained on different sets of data using different methods to improve accuracy. This isn't something you can't know, and I'm not claiming to know how, I'm saying that with exposure I have gained intuition, and as a result have learned to prompt better.

Ask an LLM to write powershell vs python, it will be more accurate with python. I have learned this through exposure. I've used many many LLMs, most are tuned to code.

Currently enjoying llama3.3:70b by the way, you should check it out if you haven't.
