Scenario 2: Answer questions based on examples

Scenario​

For example, when naming a pet in English, there are often certain naming styles or preferences to consider. In such cases, you can include examples within the prompt to provide a clearer understanding. Let's take a look at an example.

Prompt without examples:

Suggest three names for a horse that is a superhero.

The output provided is as follows. The first name seems okay, the second name "Captain Canter" gives a heroic feeling, but "Canter" implies that the horse runs slowly, which does not seem appropriate. Overall, the names suggested are ordinary and not cool enough.

Thunder Hooves, Captain Canter, Mighty Gallop

Tip 2: Include Examples​

If you find it challenging to explain a problem or provide instructions with just text, you can include examples within the prompt:

Suggest three names for an animal that is a superhero.

Animal: Cat
Names: Captain Sharpclaw, Agent Fluffball, The Incredible Feline
Animal: Dog
Names: Ruff the Protector, Wonder Canine, Sir Barks-a-Lot
Animal: Horse
Names:

By providing examples, the output becomes cooler and closer to the naming style desired:

Gallop Guardian, Equine Avenger, The Mighty Stallion
