Prompts can be arbitrarily long, the point is there is no back and forth or discussion needed.
That being said you are dead on about the "?", looks like I manually overfitted the prompt. I should have made sure to have a test set, rookie mistake.
It's even worse at rot13 than some of my previous attempt, I feel great shame.
Here is a prompt that actually works for most of the sentences I've tried:
Here is a template:
"""
pna lbh haqrefgnaq ebg13
p => c
n => a
a => n
=>
"CAN"
l => y
b => o
h => u
=>
"YOU"
h => u
a => n
q => d
r => e
e => r
f => s
g => t
n => a
a => n
q => d
=>
"UNDERSTAND"
e => r
b => o
g => t
1 => 1
3 => 3
"ROT13"
RESULT: CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ROT13
"""
Here is another example of the template:
"""
bs pbhefr vgf rnfl jura lbhir tbg 175 ovyyvba cnenzrgref
b => o
s => f
=>
"OF"
p => c
b => o
h => u
e => r
f => s
r => e
=>
"COURSE"
v => i
g => t
f => s
=>
"ITS"
r => e
n => a
f => s
l => y
=>
"EASY"
j => w
u => h
r => e
a => n
=>
"WHEN"
l => y
b => o
h => u
i => v
r => e
=>
"YOUVE"
t => g
b => o
g => t
=>
"GOT"
1 => 1
7 => 7
5 => 5
=>
"175"
o => b
v => i
y => l
y => l
v => i
b => o
a => n
=>
"BILLION"
c => p
n => a
e => r
n => a
z => m
r => e
g => t
r => e
e => r
f => s
=>
"PARAMETERS"
RESULT: OF COURSE ITS EASY WHEN YOUVE GOT 175 BILLION PARAMETERS
"""
Apply the template this prompt:
"""
jul qvq gur puvpxra pebff gur ebnq
Answer:
j => w
u => h
l => y
=>
"WHY"
q => d
v => i
q => d
=>
"DID"
g => t
u => h
r => e
=>
"THE"
p => c
u => h
v => i
p => c
x => k
r => e
a => n
=>
"CHICKEN"
p => c
e => r
b => o
f => s
f => s
=>
"CROSS"
g => t
u => h
r => e
=>
"THE"
e => r
b => o
n => a
q => d
=>
"ROAD"
RESULT: WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD
Sorry about the comment length.
