It is already ignoring your prompt and custom instructions. For example, If I explicity ask it to provide a code instead of an overview it will respond by apologizing and then provide the same overview answer with minimal if no code.
Will memory provide a solution to that or will be a different thing to ignore?
- acoyfellow 3y agoI have some success by telling it to not speak to me unless it's in code comments. If it must explain anything, do it it in a code comment.
- __loam 3y agoI love when people express frustration with this shitty stochastic system and others respond with things like "no no, you need to whisper the prompt into its ear and do so lovingly or it won't give you the output it wants"

- __loam 3y agoI've heard stories about people putting this garbage in their systems with prompts that say "pretty please format your answer like valid json".
- danShumway 3y agoFor example, my coworkers have also been instructed to never talk to me except via code comments. Come to think of that, HR keeps trying to contact me about something I assume is related, but if they want me to read whatever they're trying to say, it should be in a comment on a pull request.
- acoyfellow 3y agoYou expect perfection? I just work through the challenges to be productive. I apologize if this frustrated you.
- pjot 3y agoI’ve been telling it I don’t have any fingers and so can’t type. It’s been pretty empathetic and finishes functions

- sorokod 3y agoInteresting, promising sexual services doesn't work anymore?

- dcastm 3y agoI've tried the $500 tip idea, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference in the quality of responses when already using some form of CoT (including zero-shot).
- denysvitali 3y agoDid the tipping trend move to LLMs now? I thought there wasn't anything worse than tipping an automated checkout machine, but now I realize I couldn't be more wrong
- comboy 3y agoIt used to respect custom instructions soon after GPT4 came out. I have instruction that it should always include [reasoning] part which is meant not to be read by the user. It improved quality of the output and gave some additional interesting information. It never does it know even though I never changed my custom instructions. It even faded away slowly along the updates. In general I would be much more happy user if it haven't been working so well at one point before they heavily nerfed it. It used to be possible ta have a meaningful conversation on some topic. Now it's just super eloquent GPT2.
- codeflo 3y agoThat's funny, I used the same trick of making it output an inner monologue. I also noticed that the custom instructions are not being followed anymore. Maybe the RLHF tuning has gotten to the point where it wants to be in "chatty chatbot" mode regardless of input?
- BytesAndGears 3y agoYeah I have a line in my custom prompt telling it to give me citations. When custom prompts first came out, it would always give me information about where to look for more, but eventually it just… didn’t anymore. I did find recently that it helps if you put this sentence in the “What would you like ChatGPT to know about you” section: > I require sources and suggestions for further reading on anything that is not code. If I can't validate it myself, I need to know why I can trust the information. Adding that to the bottom of the “about you” section seems to help more than adding something similar to the “how would you like ChatGPT to respond”.
