Wait, the user provided the link and the title of the source, but the actual content of the biography is not provided in the prompt text.
The prompt says: "Use ONLY facts present above."
The "above" section contains only the title/link: "Shinsho Nakamaru — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/551500) Shinsho Nakamaru actor biography".
If I use external knowledge (which I am forbidden from doing by the instructions "Use ONLY facts present above"), I would violate the core instruction.
If I look at the provided text: There are no facts about his career, roles, dates, or achievements in the provided text. The text only identifies him as an actor and provides a TMDB link.
The prompt provides a source title/link but no actual text content.
The instructions are: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
The provided source contains zero biographical facts. It only contains his name and the fact that he has a profile on The Movie Database.
If I cannot fulfill the word count (180-260 words) because there is no information, I have a conflict.
However, as an archivist, if the source is empty, I cannot write a career overview.
Let me re-read the prompt carefully. Is there a hidden synopsis? No.
Is there any information in the source provided?
Name: Shinsho Nakamaru
Occupation: Actor
Platform: The Movie Database (TMDB)
If I write "Shinsho Nakamaru is an actor. His biography is on The Movie Database," I will be far below the 180-260 word count.
If I use my internal training data to find out who Shinsho Nakamaru is, I am violating the instruction "Use ONLY facts present above."
Self-Correction/Refinement: Often in these LLM prompts, the user forgets to paste the actual text. If I provide a response saying "The provided source contains no information," I am being a good archivist. But if I try to hallucinate, I fail.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Use ONLY facts present above."
The "above" section is:
[1] Shinsho Nakamaru — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/551500) Shinsho Nakamaru actor biography
There is literally no information to write 180-260 words about.
Hypothesis: Perhaps the user expects me to know the content of that specific TMDB link? No, the instructions explicitly say "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
