Career overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a 180-260 word career overview of Miriama Smith (Acting).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided source. No invented details. Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose. Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Source Content:
Name: Miriama Smith.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 36.
Gender: Female.
Birthday: June 3, 1976.
Age: 50 years old.
Place of Birth: Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand.
Miriama Smith is an actress.
She has 36 known credits.
She was born on June 3, 1976, in Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand.
She is 50 years old.
Draft 1: Miriama Smith is an actress known for her work in the film and television industry. According to her profile, she has a total of 36 known credits. She was born in Rotorua, located in the North Island of New Zealand. Her birthday is recorded as June 3, 1976, making her 50 years old.
Critique 1: This is far too short (approx 50 words). The prompt asks for 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. It only contains basic biographical data and a credit count. It does not contain specific movie titles, TV show titles, specific roles, awards, or career milestones.
Re-evaluating constraints: "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
Conflict: The user wants 180-260 words, but the source only provides about 30 words worth of facts.
Strategy: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to meet a word count. However, I must try to expand the prose neutrally without adding information. But if the information isn't there, I can't reach 180 words without violating the "Use ONLY facts present above" rule.
Wait, let me look closer at the source:
Name: Miriama Smith
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 36
Gender: Female
Birthday: June 3, 1976
Age: 50
Place of Birth: Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand
If I write "Miriama Smith is an actress with 36 known credits. She was born in Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand on June 3, 1976. She is a 50-year-old female." -> This is about 30 words.
If I try to stretch it: "Miriama Smith is a female actor whose professional profile includes 36 known credits. Her career is characterized by her work in acting. She was born in Rotorua, which is situated in the North Island of New Zealand. Her date of birth is June 3, 1976, and she is currently 50 years old." -> Still only ~50 words.
The Dilemma: The prompt has a word count requirement (180-260) that is impossible to meet given the source material (which only contains enough data for ~40 words) without violating the primary instruction ("Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent...").
Decision: In professional prompting/AI instruction, the "Use ONLY facts" and "Do not invent" instructions are the highest priority for an "archivist" persona. If I invent details to hit the word
