Same if you are coding, ask "Is it possible" not "How do I" as the second one will more quickly result in hallucinations when you are asking it for something that isn't possible.

"Is it possible" is the conservative choice if you don't want to get an explanation of something that in fact, cannot be done.

But it seems "is it possible" also leads it into answering "no, it can't" probably modelling a bunch of naysayers.

Sometimes, if you coax it a little bit, it will tell you how to do a thing which is quite esoteric.
