Is the first line in this dataset the norm?
I came across this dataset. [prompts.csv · fka/awesome-chatgpt-prompts at main)The first line is"act","prompt"Is this a required part of a dataset to define the columns? I asked about this earlier and told it wasn’t by one member but I’m trying to understand this as I am still getting notifications that my column mapping is bad.

Yes, the first line"act","prompt"in your dataset is theheader row, which defines the column names. It helps systems or tools identify what each column represents, making it easier to work with the dataset.For example:"act"could indicate the role or behavior (e.g., “teacher”, “translator”), and"prompt"might be the corresponding input text or task to guide the AI.If you’re using a tool that requires you to map columns, the header is oftennot mandatory, but it can simplify the process. If you’re getting errors about “bad column mapping,” it’s likely because:The tool assumes there’s no header row, so it’s treating"act"and"prompt"as actual data.You haven’t specified which column corresponds to what when importing the file.To fix this:Check the tool’s settingsto ensure it recognizes the first line as the header row. There’s often a checkbox like “First row contains headers.”If the tool doesn’t support headers, you’ll need to manually map columns (e.g., Column 1 = “act,” Column 2 = “prompt”).If you share which tool or platform you’re using, I can provide more specific advice!
