Evaluating a Prompt Ensemble Strategy

A team is tasked with creating a one-paragraph, neutral summary of a controversial political event using a single language model. To improve the robustness of their output, they use the following three prompts and plan to combine the resulting summaries:

  1. 'Summarize the attached article about the political event.'
  2. 'Provide a summary of the provided text concerning the political event.'
  3. 'Create a brief synopsis of the article about the political event.'

Critique this approach. Explain why this strategy is unlikely to achieve the desired outcome of a more robust and high-quality summary, and propose a specific change to their set of prompts that would be more effective.
