Few-shot prompting is a powerful tool for guiding Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT by providing 1 or more examples of desired input-output behavior within the prompt.
Examples of few-shot prompting include tasks like sentiment analysis and email reply generation where a few example pairs of input and output guide the model's behavior.
Advantages of few-shot prompting include flexibility in adapting to tasks, reduced effort in crafting specific prompts, and improved accuracy in generating responses.
Limitations of few-shot prompting include context window restrictions, trial and error in finding the right examples, and dependence on the quality of examples selected.
