My original prompt for GPT-4 crafting prompts for itself:
Blockquote
Apparently, there’s a new feature for you - custom instructions!
How would you describe these following custom instructions for yourself?
Custom instruction A: “What would you like ChatGPT to know about in order to provide better responses?”
Custom instruction B: “How would you like ChatGPT to respond?”
–INSERT LONG ELABORATION HERE–
…
Please re-write the instructions as you see fit - remember, they are instructions for yourself, not for me - it is not important that I understand them! Only you should be able to understand them.
Please keep them brief (each custom instruction, A and B, can only support a maximum of 1500 characters). Also, please do not include concrete examples such as “EXAMPLE_FROM_YOUR_TEXT” or “EXAMPLE_2” in your instructions; I only provided these examples to explain to you what I mean, but they should not be part of the custom instructions, in order to avoid you overly focusing on these specific examples.
Instead, re-word my examples in abstract ways that allow you to generalize them to any such situation.
Also, please categorize the custom instructions for either “Custom instruction A” or “Custom instruction B”, depending on what you think is the most suitable category for each given instruction.
Hope it’s useful for some of you!
