What is zero-shot prompting?

The correct answer is C. Only giving GitHub Copilot a question as a prompt and no examples. Zero-shot prompting means providing only a question or instruction to the AI model - no examples of inputs/outputs, no demonstrations of the algorithm, and no sample data. The model must rely entirely on its pre-trained knowledge to respond. This contrasts with few-shot…

Explanation

Zero-shot prompting means providing only a question or instruction to the AI model - no examples of inputs/outputs, no demonstrations of the algorithm, and no sample data. The model must rely entirely on its pre-trained knowledge to respond. This contrasts with few-shot prompting (giving a handful of examples) or one-shot prompting (giving exactly one example).
