The problem is less that the system would somehow ignore that part of the prompt and more that "hallucinate" or "make stuff up" aren't special subroutines that get called on demand when prompted by an idiot, they're descriptive of what an LLM does *all the time*. It's following statistical patterns in a matrix created by the training data and reinforcement processes. Theoretically if the people responsible for that training and reinforcement did their jobs well then those patterns should only include true statements but if it was that easy then you wouldn't have [insert the entire intellectual history of the human species].
Even if you assume that the AI boosters are completely right and that the LLM inference process is directly analogous to how people think, does saying "don't fuck up" actually make people less likely to fuck up? Like, the kind of errors you're looking at here aren't generated by some separate process. Someone who misremembers a fact doesn't know they've misremembered until they get called out on the error either by someone else with a better memory or reality imposing the consequence of being wrong. Similarly the LLM isn't doing anything special when it spits out bullshit.
