My experience with GPT-4 is that half the battle is knowing when to reset the context for a back-and-forth. For things like coding, after multiple revisions of code, it begins to get confused about which instance of the code/context to which it should refer. Resetting things back to a new frame with whatever the next query or request is generally resolves things.
OpenAI’s “magic talking dog” aspect is making you believe it has effective long-term recall, when in reality, it’s fairly limited and impacts reasoning the longer an exchange gets.
- HenryBemis 3y ago3.5 (not surprisingly) has the same effect. I tend to ask for modifications on the 'latest' output. If I need to roll back to a previous version, (2-3 outputs back) I either copy & paste and ask ChatGPT it to ignore all other versions and focus on the one I just pasted, or if I don't need my in-between comments, I copy & paste the desired version on a new chat, and rename as "archive - code XYZ" for the previous one.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoI’ve tried this as well, but it still seems to accumulate errors with subsequent responses, i.e. it will reset but then refer to the wrong context in the next response.
