What is Garbage In Garbage Out?

 Garbage in, garbage out” (often abbreviated as GIGO) is a classic phrase in computing and data science.

Meaning:

  • If you feed a system (like a computer program, algorithm, or AI model) poor-quality input, you will get poor-quality output.

  • In other words, the output is only as good as the input you provide.

Examples:

  1. Prompt Engineering: If your prompt is not clear and detailed any LLM model will not give you the desired output of yours. At times LLM models gets Hallucinations.

  2. Data Analysis: If your dataset has errors or missing values, any analysis or predictions will be unreliable.

  3. Programming: If a user enters invalid data, the program might crash or give wrong results.

  4. AI / Prompt Engineering: If you give vague, confusing, or poorly structured prompts to an AI model, the responses will be low quality — which is why prompt engineering is so important.
