Remove please from prompts

Open hdkiller opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Background

It is not recommended to use "please" in prompts when instructing a LLM because it can come across as a request rather than a directive. LLMs need clear instructions and guidance, and using language that is too polite or vague can make them uncertain about what is expected of them. Instead, it is better to use direct and clear language to give instructions and communicate expectations. This helps to ensure that tasks are completed correctly and efficiently.

Changes

Removes the word "please" from text summarization related prompts.

Enter up to 5 goals for your AI:  For example: Increase net worth, Grow Twitter Account, Develop and manage multiple businesses autonomously'
Enter nothing to load defaults, enter nothing when finished.
Goal 1: Visit a website which provides today's news.
Goal 2: Summarize the articles and write the results to text files
Goal 3: Terminate
