A recent analysis highlights how the examples provided to large language models significantly influence their output, often leading to biases like majority label bias, recency bias, and common token bias. These biases can cause models to misclassify critical issues as normal, as demonstrated by a payroll outage being labeled as such. The author, Serguey Asael Shinder, emphasizes that the examples function as instructions and recommends balancing them, shuffling their order, and conducting rigorous testing to ensure the model learns the task rather than just the provided examples.
