I wouldn't be surprised if there's instructions to modify the system prompt to maximize effectiveness, and everyone leaves it at the generic default. Just like so many people leave other things at the default and just plug it in and go. Thank goodness the Cisco hold music is decent. I grew to love it while holding on the VA phone lines a lot for my dad.
Shouldn't the default settings work fine for the tasks that it's advertised to do? I mean when I buy software I don't expect it to be set to "be shit" mode by default.
