According to [Mastering the OpenAI API: Tips and Tricks - Arize AI](https://arize.com/blog-course/mastering-openai-api-tips-and-tricks/) :

> Commonly used roles include “system,” “user,” and “assistant.” The “system” provides high-level instructions, the “user” presents queries or prompts, and the “assistant” is the model’s response. By differentiating these roles, we can set the context and direct the conversation efficiently.
