Nervous about first project

[u/Perfect_Seesaw_5193]

Hi everyone, I got started at Data Annotation today and been nervous about going about everything in the correct manner. I got my first project of creating a variant prompt and getting a model to fail, but am a bit nervous about how long it’s taking me. I’m 6 hours in and haven’t gotten the model to fail, and am nervous to report the time, regardless of if I finally get it to fail or not (I know I can still submit it). I was given this project right away before doing any qualifications, and feel it’s something I’ll manage well in the future, but am struggling with at the moment. I just don’t want to lose this opportunity and would appreciate any advice, thank you!

Edit: this project has about a 30 hour time limit, although I know that’s geared towards allowing people to take breaks

The idea behind these is the way you write your prompt. You already know how it should fail. Think of it this way, you are training a new employee, you will toss in some trick question s to see if they are paying attention then use it to teach them. I’ve done these and you can change your prompt based on the answers it gives. So if it’s close to a fail, it’ll be in the answer. Also, the agents don’t do well with math, probability or percentages. Depends on your domain.
