There is a software company in the UK that is performing medical-jargon-to-simple-English translation on text emitted from speech recognition.
They achieve this via a fairly complex set of regular expressions, which must represent a significant time investment to research and maintain.
The same effect can be achieved with a properly prompted GPT-4 completion request, which took about five minutes to write.

You can prompt gpt4 and get something that looks plausible for a few test cases with very little effort, but can you get any guarantees that it will behave reasonably for most inputs? And if you can, will those guarantees last as the model is updated underneath you?
