What it looks like
- Pasting a past email, slide or answer you liked.
- Saying what the example demonstrates.
- Giving an input with the output you want for it.
When it doesn't count
Examples always counts only when extracting or classifying data. Elsewhere it counts only when the prompt needs a sample, and in many tasks, like factual questions, it doesn't count at all.
