be-careful-with-using-markdown-table-formatting

Consider using markdown table formatting for easier surveying of options.

Look at the following for an example:

An example of prompt in regards to Google Guide

I have a problem. I need to setup a Dependency Injection framework for my app and I want to use Google Guice. Could you brainstorm and present multiple distinct options as a Markdown table of options. Please explain your reasoning for including each option and also give each option an random id. Here's example of formatting of a line that I'd like you to generate:

Header line

| RandomId |  Option | Reasoning |

An example of {RandomId} is as3133bn.

(Render markdown instead of putting into the code block)

Please explain your reasoning for including each option and also give each option an random id. Here's example of formatting of a line that I'd like you to generate:

Concerns: Presents shorter answer

Concerns: Presents shorter answers. Longer Answers from LLMs are considered better

Consider:

Although this isn’t fully proven, the longer the answer, the better.

Although we aren’t fully prepared to explain why CoT works, researchers are considering two possible options:

  • “Models need tokens to think”: As Andrej Karpathy described in the last Microsoft conference, the more tokens the answer has, the stronger the answer is, as the next word prediction is grounded on more data.
  • More computational power: Alternatively, the longer the answer, the more computational effort the model is putting into answering your question. More computational power means better answers.

Bottom line, although this isn’t fully proven, the longer the answer, the better. - ref

Well when using a table the answers seem to be much shorter. Hence using the table is a concern.
