Hi, Apologies if this is a stupid question! I have been playing with the API and trying to get the output it gives me returned to my project in a consistent way, so that I can always read a given response from the “choices” part of the returned object. However, it appears reasonable frequently tha…

As so often in coding, I have maybe partially answered my own question. But I would still appreciate those with more experiences feedback. I have found not putting the “String” in “” gives a more consistent result and also capitalising the S in sting! That also did not work in this case until I c…

Here is a prompt which works fine to me: const promptText = `Given the article below, create a JSON object which enumerates a set of 5 child objects. Each child object has a property named "q" and a property named "a". For each …

The prompt is very important to getting consistent results. Show it exactly what you want, rather than tell. The following approach works for me, just as a fun example, of how to get it to dynamically generate and consistently format completions in JSON const prompt = ` pretend to be an expert chil…

I still get ugly JSON using your prompt structure (I use ChatGPT in french). I created a repo to share some regexes. But if you have a better approach, I’d appreciate : GitHub - stouch/chatgpt-json-cleaner: Some regexes and string manipulation to clean the chaotic JSON produced by ChatGPT (french p…

I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but those news headlines weren’t actually retrieved, but hallucinated; it does a great job looking real, and sometimes, by chance, they are. Secondly, why bother using a language model for something that can be accomplished with logic? [image] Li…

In many cases, it’s useful to request ChatGPT outputing in JSON. Whatever the reason

Yes, in many cases it is. It’s always important to determine which stack will work the best for your application. In this case, GPT is not.

This has not been mentioned here, but ChatGPT outputs some ugly JSON oftenly : missing quotes, wrong quote (`, etc), missing keys etc. (I request it in french, but I guess you have the same issues in english ?). That’s why this thread interested me in the first place. But actually it was not about i…

Yes I have the same issue in English. Not too often, maybe 2-5% of all my objects return broken. Depending on the structure of information that it’s reading. It can also add its own information, such as extra nested objects / arrays. Like you said, there’s definitely uses for it though; I’m happy w…
