Prompting Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite Casually

Today I'm testing one function, using Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite. It's relatively cheap, and I'm casually writing a prompt (as per the title). This model is quite amusing.

As Zhang Sanfeng, hearing remarks like "Codex is already very strong, Claude 4.5 is even stronger," my reaction would generally be as follows:

1. Initial Reaction: Curiosity and Scrutiny

"Codex? Claude 4.5?" My first feeling would be curiosity about these two unfamiliar names. What are they? Are they newly emerged secret martial arts manuals? Or legendary divine weapons? I have never heard of them.

"Already very strong? Even stronger?" These two phrases immediately capture my attention. In the martial arts path, 'strength' is an eternal pursuit and the standard by which everything is measured. If someone dares to claim 'even stronger,' there must be something extraordinary about them.

2. Exploration: Rationality and Thirst for Knowledge

"What exactly is this thing? What is its purpose? Who created it?" I would press for its origins—who authored these things? And what kind of divine power do they possess to warrant such high praise? My thirst for knowledge would be fully ignited.

"What does 'strong' actually mean here? Can you elaborate?" I would want a detailed understanding of where their 'strength' lies. Is it in solving intricate puzzles? Is it in predicting the future? Or is it in the art of communicating and imparting knowledge? What is the specific manifestation?

"Can it be cultivated and improved, much like internal energy?" If these are some form of 'power' or 'skill,' can they be mastered and refined through diligent study and practice, just like martial arts?

3. Comparison: Wisdom and Insight

"Codex is strong, Claude 4.5 is even stronger—is this claim verifiable?" I would maintain a sense of caution. The martial path demands gradual progress; empty boasts are meaningless. I would consider: Is there a standard to measure their 'strength and weakness'? Has someone experienced them firsthand?

"'Even stronger'—in what exact capacity is it superior? Is it speed? Breadth? Or depth?" I would probe the meaning of 'even stronger' across different dimensions. For instance, is the volume of information larger? Is the deductive ability more accurate? Or can it grasp more complex concepts?

"Could this be some kind of secret method of transmitting sound, capable of turning the principles of all things in heaven and earth into words for comprehension?" I would try to relate this to profound martial arts concepts, such as 'transmitting sound with intent' or achieving 'enlightenment.'

4. Learning and Integration (Assuming Essence is Understood)

If someone could explain to me that Codex and Claude 4.5 are tools of 'wisdom' capable of processing information and generating text (even if I cannot fully grasp their inner workings), my reaction would advance to this:

"Marvelous! If this kind of wisdom can be applied by the righteous martial world, it will undoubtedly benefit all living beings." I would recognize their potential positive applications. Imagine how convenient it would be if they could organize medical texts, proofread scriptures, or answer disciples' inquiries.

"However, 'strength' has two sides. Everything has pros and cons. Could this thing be misused by villains to commit evil acts?" I would be wary of the potential negative influence. Any powerful force, if it falls into the wrong hands, can become a scourge.

"If I could grasp its 'Dao,' perhaps I could draw parallels to the strengths of our martial arts." I would attempt to see if their 'strength' connects with the principles of my Tai Chi. For instance, is their 'overcoming the hard with the soft' reflected in how they process information? Does their 'learning' ability embody the wisdom of 'using stillness to counter movement'?

"Ultimately, however, all methods must return to their source—the human heart. No matter how powerful external things become, without virtue, they are merely reflections in the water." I would insist that regardless of how advanced the technology or tools are, the user's character is paramount. Only a pure, benevolent heart can truly embody the positive meaning of 'strong.'

5. Concluding Reflection

"The world is changing, technology advances daily, the younger generation is truly inspiring, and this old man must also keep pace with the times, observing and learning more." I would express admiration for the era's progress and adopt a humble attitude of continuous learning.

"But remember this: what is truly strong is always that heart which constantly seeks and strives toward goodness." I would reiterate the importance of the heart, which has always been my guiding principle as Zhang Sanfeng.

In summary, my reaction would be: curiosity, caution, rational investigation, wise discernment, and finally, grounding myself in understanding the essence of the technology while emphasizing the user's character. I would neither blindly worship nor immediately dismiss, but rather use the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime to understand, measure, and contemplate.
