For me the easiest comparison between models is to give it an absurd but entirely possible request, like "Write me a fanfic where the Animorphs battle the truck from Duel, but in the style of Mark Twain". So far nothing else I've tried has done even as well as GPT 3.5 yet, let alone GPT 4.

That is my experience as well. I've tried various models but nothing comes even close to the current ChatGPT implementation (when it manages to stay up).

> Write me a fanfic where the Animorphs battle the truck from Duel, but in the style of Mark Twain Whoa. I want to read this! Duel - what a great film. Twain - amazing writer. Animorphs - published after my teen years but sounds like a great story!

  Highly recommend Animorphs. As an adult the books can be read through pretty quickly, but the story really holds up. Deals with some heavy topics of genocide, enslavement (even exploring the justifications of the enslavers), PTSD among other topics but was still considered a kids book. It becomes obvious in the middle when some of the books were written by ghost writers, but the books are so easy to read I don't really recommend skipping them. If you must you could probably get away with reading the first ten, last ten, but should definitely read all of the Chronicle books.

    Maybe the most striking bit of its exploration of the morality of war is that the series spends something like 45 books building up the alien Andalites as beneficent do-gooders who the team of protagonists expect to swoop in and fix everything (including one of the protagonists who is a young Andalite stranded on Earth), and then it turns out that they've been as morally worn down by the ongoing interstellar war as the protagonists have in their guerrilla conflicts on Earth and are effectively as hostile to humans as the original invaders.

    > If you must you could probably get away with reading the first ten, last ten Not sure that you can. If you were to skip any, probably only 31 through 39 are completely skippable, maybe some of the late 20s but I would still read 29 and 30 at a minimum. Some of the teens and 20s might be skippable after 13 but there’s a fair amount of world-building outside the Chronicles series in the 20s; and 40 onwards is setting up the end game and then the end game. 41 and 48 are both weird but also kind of key towards finalizing the characters of the two cover characters in the end game. EDIT: actually 33 and 38 shouldn’t be skipped either. They’re Tobias and Ax books and there’s so few of those that they’re all kind of essential, but maybe the Tobias books just a little bit more essential.

      Don't forget 20, 21, and 22 are the David arc.

How exactly do you get it to keep going? Every time I try a prompt like this in the playground it spits out a couple paragraphs and then refuses to generate anything further, even with tokens maxed out.

  Simply telling it "continue" has worked for me.
  - typon 4y ago
    I found that "continue exactly where you left off" will continue in a way that you expect it to more often.
  - crooked-v 4y ago
    You can also tell it "Continue, but with (...)" to fine-tune the output further, or "Tell that again, but with (...)" to adjust the previous response.

  You can just resubmit the prompt and existing history to have the model continue generating new tokens.

  Giving it an expected word count works well.

I couldn't do it either as I have no idea what Animorphs or Duel are.

  That's ok, just ask ChatGPT to explain them to you.

    ChatGPT 4 input: > Can you give separate summaries of the Animorphs book series and the film Duel? The reply: > Animorphs Book Series Summary: The Animorphs series, written by K.A. Applegate, is a popular young adult science fiction book series spanning 54 books and several companion novels. The story revolves around five teenagers—Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco—who are granted the power to morph into any animal they touch by a dying alien named Elfangor. The teens, known as the Animorphs, use their new abilities to battle an evil alien race called the Yeerks, who are secretly invading Earth by taking control of humans' minds. Throughout the series, the Animorphs learn about the complexities of war, friendship, and sacrifice as they try to save humanity from the Yeerk invasion. > Duel Film Summary: Duel is a 1971 television movie directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the short story by Richard Matheson. The film follows a mild-mannered traveling salesman named David Mann (played by Dennis Weaver), who unwittingly finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse on a remote California highway. Mann is pursued by a mysterious and relentless tanker truck driver, who seems determined to kill him for no apparent reason. With escalating tension and suspense, the film delves into themes of fear, paranoia, and the primal fight for survival. Duel is notable for being Spielberg's directorial debut, showcasing his skillful storytelling and unique visual style that would later become hallmarks of his career.

      Duel is a great film but requires patience compared to a lot of today's films. There's not much action for quite some time -- just a man driving through the desert. Even when things pick up, it's still slow pacing by today's standards. It's from another era, and I doubt anyone would make a film today with the same pacing.
