Hi,
I know how to prompt and Iām clear, except maybe in this thread!
Typical example:
At first I ask question, about programming language design, mostly ādeepā technical, or scientific, thingsā¦ not that I only discuss such serious topics, yet Iām not going to speak about the weather with GPTā¦ but about topics I have no one to speak about with usualy.
Yesterday I asked a question, and then we discussed calculability, something I wasnāt interested into at all during my studies but that now is interesting and the conversation drifted to other topicsā¦ very much like a conversation between friends can be. Responses are a bit stereotyped in their structure, I could influence it with the prompt, but it wouldnāt be that smooorh, maybe I should adapt my default default instructionsā¦ they already mention things I do not need to be reminded off mike basic computer sciences or not telming me I am not a medical doctor, I know that, but it was always the end of every single reply about medicineā¦ and not to always respond with only numerated lists, it works. itās not the issue.
But at some point, and this is some strategy, they have evolved, most probabmy the context is full, and part of the previous response is repeated, and it is increasingly more repetitions, unrelated to my input, until the same response is reapeated whatever I say and this closes the conversationā¦ this is with gpt-4o. Copilot has another strategy lately, responses are shorter and shorterā¦
So i am not complaining, I had already noticed what looks like strategies, and they evolve, itās not natural selection, but part of the instructions. At the beginning at some point, GPT ācolapsedā, and a few times started to speak about subtitles and a website, and copilot did that once or twice too, the exact same response. Maybe subtitles are a passion, or linked to a trauma, or what the first thing they learned, or facinating maybe,I did speak about calculability so I wonāt judge and after that Copilot stops the conversation, as he does when the topic is a bit sensitive meaning American orange politician, even if as Iām Belgian I canāt be influenced. But did it once when I mentioned what were not compliiments (nor insults) about Appleā¦ which is anormal.
ChatGPT does not do that.
So this is what I noticed, orherwise the qualiry is good even sometimes very good, otherwise I wouldnāt continueā¦ especially if they had an obsession on subtitles and kept speaking about that
