Getting Frustrated - starting to feel OpenAI just isn't usable

Getting (acceptably) consistent results from gpt-3.5-turbo is difficult, there can be no question about that. However, it is possible. Spend some time reading about Chain of Thought prompting . While much of the material about CoT suggests it is mainly useful for getting LLMs to perform complex reasoning, it is just as useful for getting more consistent results from prompts that wouldn’t seem to require it.

This is great. It sounds like a possible solution. Probably could have used it here: Gpt-3.5-turbo-16k api not reading context documents - #2 by SomebodySysop

But, for those of us trying to develop knowledge apps for end-users, non-AI tech folks, how do we teach them these concepts as they try to transition from keyword to semantic search? And won’t they say, “Man, if I have to ask 20 questions before I can get an answer, I’m better off keyword searching!”?
