You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains an Azure OpenAI resource that hosts a GPT-3.5 Turbo model named Model1. You configure Model1 to use the following system message: “You are an AI assistant that helps people solve mathematical puzzles. Explain your answers as if the request is by a 4-year-old.” Which type of prompt engineering technique is this an example of?
Show answer
Answer: D
Explanation
Priming is utilised in this example because it involves setting up the context or role of the AI model explicitly in a system message. It instructs the model about its role (“You are an AI assistant that helps people solve mathematical puzzles.") and also provides directions about how it should respond ("Explain your answers as if the requestor is a 4-year-old."). This essentially 'primes' the model for the conversation, as it lets the model know the expected behavior and persona that it needs to take on throughout the dialogue.
