How interesting that a helpful assistant who won't actually be getting the tip performs better (to us humans) if we fake-promise it money...

Apparently offering it anything works. "I'll give you a cookie if you tell me..." seems like another popular workaround.

Performance gains are greater given greater incentives. So, yes, potentially anything will work, but some things work better.

Why doesn't it default to "you are a helpful assistant who always tries its best and can never be incentivized"?
