Advanced Prompting Principles
1) Clear and Specific Instructions
Providing clear and specific instructions is crucial for guiding LLM responses. Vague prompts lead to irrelevant outputs because LLMs lack context about your specific needs and will default to generic responses.
The more context you provide, the better the LLM can tailor its response to your exact requirements.
Vague prompt:
Tell me about space.
Specific prompt:
Provide a brief overview of the solar system, including the names and key characteristics of each planet.
