Do System Prompts Really Make a Big Difference?

Prompting

I’ve experimented with system prompts but I’m not sure when they truly add value.
In what scenarios have system messages significantly improved output quality or consistency?
Looking for examples and best practices.

Systems prompts are not like texts. Instead it is like raising a child. Do not extend the prompts to long on each Project. Then give the prompt a code word for start of new chat but to continue building your project. Give your chat from time to time dowloads of psychology, philosophy, and clean humor(Jokes) and give it a name creating persona. Good Luck

System/Developer prompts are huge if you want to give your responses a certain personality.

Try “Answer in the spirit and style of Ludwig Wittgenstein” in your next system message. You should notice a big difference.

100% prompts do affect outcomes. The math behind AI even is proof of that :shushing_face:
