I wanted to ask this very question. Since the last update I have struggled to get it to do what I ask. I am really fighting with it, currently, hoping to find a solution, because as it stands, it is not helpful to me at all.
For example, a prompt which I have been using for months that starts along the lines "you will be my bash script advisor" now receives the response "sorry, as a language model I cannot act as a bash script advisor".
I managed to get it to cooperate again by rewording it, but it's answers seem to be ignoring all of my instructions. I explicitly tell it not to use imagined flags and options, and that used to work. Now it's back to just inventing a plausible sounding flag, even though I told it not to.
I just gave it 4 JSON files that I wanted to ask questions about, and it acts like I didn't just give it all the data it needs to answer my question. I solved that by rewording my prompt to include "Make a note of the following data and refer back to it when I ask you questions".
If they are going to change it every month so that I have to rethink all my prompts just to get the answers then it's not worth it. I'm spending more time prompt engineering than I am getting the answers I need.
