One of the key principles of writing effective prompts for language models is to use natural language. Natural language prompts are written in a way that mimics how humans communicate and provide instructions. By using natural language, you can help the language model better understand the task at hand and generate more relevant and accurate output.
- Be conversational - as if you were speaking to someone
- Use common language - avoid using technical jargon
- Provide clear instructions - clearly define the task
- Provide context - such as background information, and specific examples.
