Implementing Self-Verification Algorithms to Reduce Errors in ChatGPT Responses

Hello, I have been interacting with ChatGPT for quite some time and have noticed that errors often arise due to the lack of self-verification before delivering a response. I have developed a method that minimizes errors, and I would like to propose integrating it into the model’s algorithms.

The essence of the method:

Before generating a response, ChatGPT checks its output against the key parameters of the query. For example, if a user asks for “new movies of 2024 that haven’t been mentioned in previous lists,” the model verifies:

  1. Are the movies from 2024?

  2. Have these movies already been included in earlier lists?

  3. Do they meet the criteria for “new” (i.e., not repeated)?

This would significantly reduce errors, especially in lists, dates, repeated information, and logical inconsistencies.

Real-Life Example and Results:

I have applied a similar system of self-verification in my own life to minimize mistakes and errors. By using a method of continuous self-checking, I have dramatically reduced the number of mistakes I make in both personal and professional tasks. For example, when managing projects, I often pause to verify if my actions align with the requirements before proceeding. This approach has led to significantly fewer errors and more accurate outcomes.

I believe that implementing this approach within ChatGPT could similarly improve accuracy and reliability.

I would be happy to discuss this idea in more detail and provide further examples. I hope the OpenAI team will consider this suggestion!
