GPT-4o has been bad for my GPT; anyways to switch back to GPT-4

Does any one of you want to start a topic ‘Proper prompting for GPT-4o’ ?

I am sure we can work this out together as a community. And I am interested, too.

Thanks again for chiming in. I believe that people have been getting quite adapted to interacting with the OpenAI’s LLMs for the past 18 months. A lot of us became good prompters. I‘m a bit pessimistic of the fact that a proper prompt can fix the issue for GPT-4o.

When I ask GPT-4o to do A but instead it does B for me due to its own underlying training structures, I don’t think changing the prompt could change things, especially when my prompt is very simple. Maybe it will, but I don’t think there is a general rule of thumb in terms of prompting that applies to GPT-4o.

To be honest, when I saw that some of my prompts had stopped working I really had to manage my frustration for a while and did switch back to GPT-4 because it was just more convenient in that moment.

Some time later I saw your comment, how you adapted the prompts and that finally gave me the necessary boost to repeat the same old process and rewrite my prompts.

So, thanks for that! @goo

Still, I see other community members struggling and wanted to animate those, who want to solve their issues with 4o prompting, to do this in a topic here in the forum.

A topic that is solution oriented from the start.

Np man. I’m frustrated too.

I do think it might be beneficial to start a topic here on “proper prompting for gpt-4o”. I also think that gpt-4o has many unaddressed issues that cannot be fixed by prompts :frowning: I’ve tried adjusted my prompts my times and they just didn’t work well.

If you would like to do the honors. Maybe in Prompting category?

Could be a useful thread, I think!

Hello goodnight.

All good?

I am a user of the platform and I use it on a paid basis.

My experience as a GPT-4o user, even though I paid to use it, has not been excellent, as advertised. He often does not understand the question, gets confused using his memory and hallucinates a lot. Because of this, I continue to use GPT4.

Hugs.
