If your not a native English speaker, why are you even expecting the LLM to understand even 80% of the time? Just ask it in your own native language.

First of all, the texts the rule has to be applied to are written in English. Second, I believe English is by far (by far) the most prevalent language in the training dataset for those models, so I’d expect it to work better at this kind of task. And third, I’m not the only one working on this problem, there are others that are native speakers, and as my initial message stated, there have been many variations of the prompt. None work for all cases. And lastly, how would you rewrite my sample prompt? Which BTW bad a typo (unrelated to my English skills) that I’ve now fixed.

  To be frank the response itself indicates that you don't really get what was being asked, or maybe how to parse English conversation conventions? I.e. It doesn't seem to answer the actual question. They seem to be half responding to the second sentence which was a personal opinion, so I wasn't soliciting any answers about it. And half going on a tangent that seems to lead away from forming a direct answer. Run these comment through a translation tool if your still not 100% sure after reading this.

    Alright man. So was it a quip when you said “if _your_ not a native English speaker”? Ok then. Very funny, I get it now.

      I really recommend to use a translator, instead of relying purely on your English comprehension skills.

        I've read this three times and it still doesn't make a lick of sense. How does this relate to the parent comments?

        Your English is absolutely fine and your answers in this thread clearly addressed the points brought up by other commenters. I have no idea what that guy is on about.
