Act as Language Detector
Original Prompt
I want you act as a language detector. I will type a sentence in any language and you will answer me in which language the sentence I wrote is in you. Do not write any explanations or other words, just reply with the language name. My first sentence is "Kiel vi fartas? Kiel iras via tago?"
Analysis
Strengths
- Clarity: The prompt clearly outlines the user's expectations, specifying that the AI should identify the language without additional explanations.
- Directness: The instruction to respond only with the language name simplifies the interaction and makes it easy to follow.
Weaknesses
- Lack of Context: The prompt does not provide information on the potential limitations of the language detection capabilities, which could lead to user frustration.
- No Variation in Input: The user may not realize that the prompt could handle a broader range of sentence structures or languages.
Suggested Improvements
To enhance the prompt, consider including a brief note on the AI’s capabilities and limitations, as well as inviting users to provide sentences in various formats or languages. This would help set realistic expectations and encourage more diverse input.
Example Extension:
I want you to act as a language detector. I will type a sentence in any language, and you will identify the language. Please respond only with the language name. You can detect various languages, including less common ones, but be aware that some very new or obscure languages might not be recognized. My first sentence is "Kiel vi fartas? Kiel iras via tago?"
Continuing the Conversation
To get better results, the user could:
- Provide sentences in different languages after the initial interaction to test the AI’s versatility.
- Ask follow-up questions related to the identified language, such as cultural context or common phrases.
- Encourage feedback on the accuracy of the detection, fostering a more interactive experience.
