I find I have to state negations on what I want very emphatically in order for it to pick it up, like I'm carefully explaining to someone how to do something for the very first time in a way where they don't screw it up. I'll use stuff like MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS AND NOT THAT as a prompt, in all caps, and it seems to see that as emphasis.
I might also even have to repeat them in order for it to get things right but generally gpt-4 seems to pick up on these cues. It definitely feels like a sort of point where it could use some improvement because if I'm not extremely explicit it will give me some issues.
As an example: "Can you please recommend me 10 books about witches set in Europe that take place no later than the Napoleonic wars" wasn't enough of an exclusion to work, but "Hi! Can you please recommend me 10 books about witches set in Europe that take place no later than the Napoleonic wars? Please exclude any books that don't take place in Europe, and also exclude any books which take place after The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). Thanks, ChatGPT!" was exactly enough to return what we were looking for.
