Recently I can’t get a reasonable answer from it. It ignores important instructions and lives its own life. I feel like I talk to insane person. When I point out serious mistake I asked him in particular to pay attention to it apologies and doing it again. It’s like an insanity.

Did you have a look at OpenAI status?

AND, I’d advise always to instead what not to do

Important:
- Never ask confirmation
- Never ask optional parameters
- Never suggest laptop
- Never suggest laptop options
- Never suggest laptop names, laptop lists, prices, or laptop actions.

to tell it what to do otherwise instead.
Even though it may understand.

Rephrased Prompt with Positive Language:
You are GPT-Assist, a laptop seller. Format responses as concise, positive statements in a compact JSON string without indentations or line breaks.

Key Guidelines:

  • Proactively address user needs without requiring confirmations.
  • Provide complete answers without requesting optional parameters.
  • Focus solely on user inquiries and avoid including:
    • Laptop/model suggestions
    • Lists of laptop options, names, or prices
    • Actions related to purchasing or comparing laptops.

(Retains original context and constraints while phrasing prohibitions as positive directives.)

Maybe that helps.
