When using the Chat Completion API, how much context should I be putting into the initial system message? For example, I have the complete text for an article and want to extract + analyze specific quotes from it. Do I include the complete text for the article within that initial system role message? or should I have the user role be the one that provides the complete text for the article? Just not too sure how much weight is put into that initial system message and which option is most effective. Thanks!

It's best to put instructions in the system message and the context/data itself in the user message.
