Lesson 115 Quiz: Sending Prompts Through an API

Question 1

What is the main purpose of sending a prompt through an AI API?

To make the AI model permanently retrain itself To provide instructions, input, and relevant context to the AI model To replace all application programming logic To automatically guarantee a correct response

Question 2

Why should application instructions be separated from user-provided data when constructing an AI prompt?

It prevents the application from receiving any user input It allows user input to override application rules It helps distinguish trusted application instructions from untrusted user data It removes the need for output validation

Question 3

Why should user input be treated as untrusted when constructing prompts?

User input can contain unexpected instructions or manipulation attempts User input is always incorrect User input can never contain useful information User input automatically has administrator permissions

Question 4

What is one important reason to include only relevant context in an API prompt?

It always makes the model answer faster It guarantees that the model will never make a mistake It improves relevance while helping avoid unnecessary input and token usage It removes the need for application security

Question 5

Why should prompt changes be tested before being used in a production AI application?

Prompt changes cannot affect an AI application Prompt changes only affect the user interface Prompt changes can alter behavior, quality, safety, and cost Prompt changes eliminate the need for testing
