Anyone know how "system" works? Is it merely a prefix on the prompt?

It is a way to interact with their chat api: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/chat/introduction

It already exists, but according to their docs current chatGPT "does not always pay strong attention to system messages. Future models will be trained to pay stronger attention to system messages"

Just use a user prompt instead of a system prompt. It is mostly redundant tbh
