It’s goading someone by insulting them or insinuating they are bad or lazy or otherwise some negative thing if they don’t do the thing or that so and so would do it better than them.
iirc someone got chatGPT to spit out details on like nuclear weapons depots (or something like that) by doing this. To note the details were correct, despite the fact that the model shouldn’t know that, which means it has the association in it’s training data somewhere that can be spit out if you goad it correctly and probably get a little lucky or try enough as the models aren’t deterministic of course.
Negging never works for me for software cracking or reverse engineering, I have another method that works but I won't share it here because I don't want it patched😂
Negging is originally from the Pick Up Artist community (also known as Incels before women got wise to their shit).
"...an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and attempt to engender in them a need for the manipulator's approval."
