Stop that, ChatGPT!.. Don't end like that? Annoying!

Oh, for the love of AI. I’ve been using it since it came out and full disclosure I am a paid member. Let’s go ahead and get that out of the way. (If I enjoy something I support it.) :smiley:

What I am here for is my utter disgust for the way the AI will end most articles.

Write an article about Overcoming grief

Grief is a natural and inevitable part of life. It is the emotional pain and sadness that comes from losing someone or something that we love or care about deeply. Grief can be caused by a variety of events such as the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a job or pet. It can be a difficult and overwhelming experience that can leave us feeling lost, confused, and alone. However, it is possible to overcome grief and find a way to move forward.

Here are some steps that can help you overcome grief:

Allow yourself to grieve: It is important to allow yourself to feel the pain of your loss. This means acknowledging your feelings and giving yourself permission to experience them without judgment or guilt. This can be a difficult step, but it is essential in the healing process.

Seek support: You do not have to go through grief alone. Seek support from family, friends, or a professional counselor. Talking about your feelings and experiences can help you process your grief and begin to move forward.

Take care of yourself: Grief can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Take care of yourself by eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

Be patient: Grief is a process that takes time. Do not expect to feel better overnight. Allow yourself time to heal and be patient with yourself as you navigate through your grief.

Create a new routine: Sometimes grief can disrupt our normal routines. Creating a new routine can help you establish a sense of normalcy and control in your life. This can be as simple as starting a new hobby or exercise routine.

Practice self-compassion: It is common to experience feelings of guilt or shame when grieving. Practice self-compassion by reminding yourself that your feelings are normal and valid. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself time to heal.

Find meaning in your loss: Sometimes finding meaning in our loss can help us overcome grief. This can be through volunteering, starting a new project, or dedicating something to the memory of your loved one.

In conclusion, grief is a natural part of life that can be difficult to overcome. However, by allowing ourselves to grieve, seeking support, taking care of ourselves, being patient, creating a new routine, practicing self-compassion, and finding meaning in our loss, we can move forward and find peace. Remember, healing takes time, and it is okay to take things one day at a time.

And I get this annoying “In conclusion” every article I ask it to write… Every time. In conclusion. Writing a story… In conclusion. It gets worse if I tell it not to…

Do not use the phrase "In conclusion," ever!
Sure, I will keep that in mind. Thank you for the feedback.


Write an article about Overcoming grief

Grief is a natural and necessary part of the human experience. It is an emotion that we all feel at some point in our lives. It is the process of healing and coming to terms with loss, whether it is the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or even a pet. While it is never easy to deal with grief, it is possible to overcome it and move forward in a positive way. Here are some steps that can help you overcome grief:

Allow Yourself to Feel Your Emotions: The first step in overcoming grief is to allow yourself to feel your emotions. Don't try to suppress them or push them away. Instead, acknowledge them and allow yourself to feel the pain of your loss. It is okay to cry, scream, or simply be sad. Grief is a natural process that takes time.

Seek Support: It is important to surround yourself with people who care about you during the grieving process. Seek support from family, friends, or a professional counselor. Talk about your feelings and experiences with someone you trust. It can help you process your grief and feel less alone.

Take Care of Yourself: Grief can take a toll on your physical and emotional health. Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in physical activity. Avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms such as excessive drinking or drug use.

Be Patient: Overcoming grief is a process that takes time. Don't expect to feel better overnight. Be patient with yourself as you work through your emotions. Allow yourself the time and space you need to heal.

Create a New Routine: Grief can disrupt our normal routines. Creating a new routine can help you establish a sense of normalcy and control in your life. Try a new hobby, exercise routine, or take up meditation.

Practice Self-Compassion: Be gentle with yourself and practice self-compassion. You may experience feelings of guilt, anger, or shame during the grieving process. These emotions are normal and should be acknowledged. Be kind to yourself as you navigate through your grief.

Find Meaning in Your Loss: Finding meaning in your loss can help you overcome grief. This can be through volunteering, starting a new project, or dedicating something to the memory of your loved one. Focus on the positive aspects of your life and try to find joy in the present moment.

In conclusion, overcoming grief is a process that takes time and effort. It requires you to be patient, kind, and compassionate with yourself as you navigate through your emotions. Seek support from loved ones and professionals, take care of yourself physically and emotionally, create a new routine, and find meaning in your loss. Remember, it is okay to grieve, and with time, you will be able to move forward in a positive way.

Now, let’s take a look if I yell at it. (It makes me feel better. :smiley: ) For brevity… I’ll spare you the entire article again…

STOP USING "IN CONCLUSION"

My apologies, I will avoid using "in conclusion" in the future. Thank you for your feedback.


NEVER USE "IN CONCLUSION"
Understood, I will refrain from using "in conclusion" in any future articles. Thank you for your feedback.

--- same prompt... Here's the closer...

Stop using it!

And so the AI is irritating on the fact it will not listen to the fact I do not want “In conclusion,” added. It is very annoying.

So, anyone else have issues like this one? Repetitive, cliche, or just plain dumb sayings it seems to love and won’t let go of?

Encounter the same issue, but didn’t manage to get rid of the conclusion statement either.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I can tell it to rewrite it and ask to leave that out and it still adds it. Once it even said “(just kidding)” but it still put that in there. I’m not sure why it loves the phrase so much.

Negative prompts are difficult because, as you can see, the words “in conclusion” are now in the history quite a bit. And since it’s an LLM, it seeks out similarities.

Instead, start a new thread and add something like, “Be sure to end the article in a unique and novel way…” or something similar.

Hope this helps!

Agreed, It’s generally not effective to tell GPT what it shouldn’t do, try telling it what you do want instead. Give it specific instructions about the kind of language or phrases you prefer, and see if that helps.

In this case you could try something like: “write an inconclusive, open ended article that ends on a question. The article should be about overcoming grief”

GPT has been trained on a lot of scientific articles that typically include a conclusion section. If you ask GPT to write an article, it’s possible that it will default to including a conclusion section unless otherwise specified.

My ChatGPT might just be broken. My friend doesn’t have his saying in conclusion all the time, but mine does. Not sure if it has a profile and learns from you. But I’ve been downvoting things if I tell it not to say in conclusion and it does it anyway.


Tried that with a whole new chat. Still loves to use it’s “in conclusion” phrase. :smiley: Maybe that’s the way they’re going to keep kids from turning in homework using ChatGPT? :laughing:

But it is seriously annoying when you’re just trying to make a few quick content blocks for a website.

It does indeed love to make conclusions :joy:
That prompt worked for me 3 out of 3 times with GPT-3.5, i can’t speak for version 4. It’s important to remember that GPT is a tool designed to assist you, not replace you.

lol

This seemed to work… play with your initial prompt some to add more details… give your writer a personality…

You are an experienced writer with a long history of writing for blogs. When concluding, you don’t stick with the standard “In conclusion” phrase. Your endings are unique and come to a close without using trite phrases. Now, please write an article about Overcoming grief

Another helpful thing is to feed it an outline…

On reflection, I’m wondering if including “writing for blogs” gives it a more informal tone and keeps away the “in conclusion…”

I use 3.5 I don’t use 4.0 because I absolutely hate the thought of being involved in a conversation or doing something and then it going “Oh, dear… That’s all for right now… Come back in 3 hours.” Really irks me for some reason. So, I refuse to use it because I don’t want to like it and know it’s limited to 25 per 3 hours. :frowning: :cold_sweat:

But for some reason most people don’t get the conclusion like I do. I’m wondering if we have hidden profiles. :frowning: I’d love to reset mine if that’s the case. (Because if I knew letting it do that and not going… Oh, no… Not this…) :smiley: I would have let it know to regenerate the response long ago.

Always willing to try the unknown. :smiley: (Here goes…)

Well, I’ll be… That’s great. I hadn’t thought of asking it to take on a persona for writing. Thanks for that. (Usually, I ask it straight forward questions, but sometimes I need to pad out a site since I make themes… I don’t really love using Lorem Ipsum for things.) :smiley: I’m weird like that.

But I will keep this in mind. Thanks so much!
