Even just for spell checking, having a ton of general knowledge helps. Knowing the correct spelling of product names, British vs American English, context-specific alternate spellings, etc…
Even GPT 3.5 has trouble following instructions, but I’ve found that GPT 4 is almost flawless. I can tell it the document uses Australian English but to preserve US spelling for product names and it’ll do it!
One quirk is that it’s almost too good at following instructions. You have to tell it to preserve product names, vendors names, place names, etc… otherwise it’ll “correct” the spelling of anything you forgot to list.
- thfuran 3y agoCan you not just tell it not to muck with proper nouns?
- jiggawatts 3y agoYou can, but then it won't correct misspellings of proper nouns! The idea is for it to automatically detect the "language" of each word based on the context and its own understanding of the world. E.g., the following sentence: "We deployed windows server data centre 2022 into our data center, which has no windows for physical security." Will be corrected by GPT-4 to the following: "We deployed Windows Server Datacenter 2022 into our data centre, which has no windows for physical security." Notice that it combined "data" and "centre" into "Datacenter" and it corrected the second "center" into "centre", which is the British/Australian spelling of the word. It also correctly capitalised only the first use of the word "windows", etc... That requires a level of understanding that GPT 3.5 just barely has, and no ordinary grammar checker tool has.
