The article discusses the preferences of industry professionals regarding output constraints in large language models (LLMs). It highlights a survey revealing that natural language is often favored over graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for articulating complex constraints, particularly when background context or intricate choices are involved. Respondents expressed that while GUIs offer convenience, they find natural language more intuitive and flexible for communicating nuanced or vague constraints. Additionally, the necessity for a dedicated API field for output constraints has been identified as a potential solution to improve the specification process and enable better integration with external resources and workflows.
Survey respondents found natural language (NL) to be easier for specifying complex constraints than graphical user interfaces (GUIs), especially for extended backgrounds and numerous choices that wouldn't fit a GUI.
Respondents emphasized that NL allows for a more natural, familiar, and expressive way to communicate complex constraints, making it preferable over GUIs despite occasional uses of the latter.
Some noted that they often revert to natural language prompts due to API limitations, indicating a need for a dedicated 'output-constraints' API for better constraint specification.
A dedicated 'output-constraints' API field could enhance the ability to reference external resources in constraints, paving the way for more effective use of LLMs.
