Honestly I'm surprised that they use such a long prompt. It boggles my mind why they choose to chew through the context window length.

I've been training DNN models at my job past a few years, but would never use something like this.

Note that these are only used for chat. As far as I understand there are no built-in system prompts when you use their APIs (or maybe they have different, smaller system prompts).

I guess the rationale is that the end users of chat are not trusted to get their prompts right, thus the system prompt.
