Which type of prompt results in the generation of very specific responses due to constraints

Which type of prompt results in the generation of very specific responses due to constraints or restrictions followed by the language model?

A) Conditional prompts
B) Contextual prompts
C) Open-ended prompts
D) Closed prompts

Answer: D) Closed prompts

Explanation:

Closed prompts result in the generation of very specific responses due to constraints or restrictions followed by the language model. These prompts typically limit the scope of possible responses, guiding the language model to produce concise and direct answers.

Why the other options are incorrect:

  • A) Conditional prompts: While conditional prompts may set certain conditions for the response, they do not necessarily result in very specific responses. They often guide the context but can still allow for varied answers.
  • B) Contextual prompts: Contextual prompts provide background or context to the language model, helping it understand the scenario better, but they do not inherently constrain the response to be very specific.
  • C) Open-ended prompts: Open-ended prompts encourage a wide range of possible responses and are designed to elicit creative or detailed answers. They lack the constraints needed to generate very specific responses.
