Diagnosing Ineffective Prompt Instructions
A data analyst is using a large language model to categorize customer feedback into one of three categories: 'Product Quality', 'Customer Service', or 'Shipping Experience'. The analyst uses the prompt below but finds the model's responses are inconsistent and often irrelevant.
Prompt Used: "Look at this feedback and tell me what it's about: [customer feedback text]"
Based on the principles of crafting effective instructions, analyze the provided prompt. Explain two specific reasons why this prompt is failing to produce the desired categorical output.
