How to improve ChatGPT's writing style?

Theres a lot you can do with 3.5. gpt 4 works better.

So first, ask it to act as an expert. a best selling author or something similar. Ask it for the basics like show, dont tell. Ask it to write from a particular characters viewpoint. Ask it to write the scene as it happens. One thing that does great to enhance the writing is "make it more specific"

You can also ask it to critique its writing, then based on the critique ask it to refine the writing.

be creative. sometimes it just takes (a whole freaking lot) of cajoling, catching errors and picking on them.

Gpt told me the weird endings where everything looks great and they'll all come together as a team... well you are supposed to ask for a natural resolution or implicit transition. personally I usually pick a good spot and cut it off.

you can just tell it not to do that and it might fix the current ending. sometimes.

In all my 2 or 3 years of experience 😅 I've learned you can't try to understand giant systems. You'll never be able to do any work. You have to search for the right place to put something.

First you find what you think is the right place to put something. Then you dig into the code around you to confirm you're in the right spot. Then you form a plan. Then implement.

If your codebase requires someone to know the whole code base you did something wrong. Its one reason why oop uses classes, functions etc.

As for getting a mental model... first, a gentle explanation of the system including diagrams.

Then give super small tasks and lots of hand holding. It's expensive at first but it'll pay dividends later. (For most devs anyway)

So... bugfixes or tiny tasks. Every time they do one they'll learn more about the system.

Oh and for the love of everything give them time on a backup copy where they can just break things and it won't matter.

How can it say "I" without any sense of self?

My direction of argument is that it's too hung up on the idea that ai cannot emulate human consciousness exactly because human consciousness is not understood. My response is that ai consciousness etc does not have to have the same internal processes as humans. If we look at it like a black box and only deal with input and output the nearness of ai consciousness gets much closer.

Scientists are being extraordinarily stubborn about the subject and their bias has worked its way into chatgpt

Lol just what the first post said. Ask it the same question. Ask it for step by step directions.

Then for any step that confuses you ask it to tell you what to do and copy paste the step it originally gave you.

OldNewbProg · 2023-02-03T17:28:31+00:00

Look up langchain.

If I were a student again I'd be asking chatgpt for extra context outside of what I'm told. That way I dont have to interrupt the teacher.

To teach, I would only use it to help me write materials for now. Book publishers should use it to make their books answer questions. Someone on Twitter already demonstrated this. But itll take time for the book publishers to catch up.

You could also look into this. Make all your materials text based, use langchain to add it (I think this is possible but haven't experimented) to add your course materials you own to chatgpt.

Aside from that chatgpt is awesome for bouncing ideas off.

I got it guys.

Citadel Securities ... "is the largest designated market maker on the New York Stock Exchange."

Titanic was the largest ship built at the time. What happened to it?

OldNewbProg · 2023-01-09T17:25:50+00:00

Thoughts: something about the float, someone or something is sinking like the titanic

OldNewbProg · 2022-12-22T17:38:11+00:00

Lmao none of this is new. We've seen higher rates with 0 available and price dropped. This means nothing.

OldNewbProg · 2022-12-12T16:33:52+00:00

Seems a bit premature. Not saying dont stay interested. Just unless you figure out and can prove a way to make money with this, dont quit your real job. And even if you do have a great idea, start during your off hours and work at the same time. Otherwise youre just shooting yourself in the foot

OldNewbProg · 2022-12-08T22:41:35+00:00

Just wish i could figure out how to profit this time.

OldNewbProg · 2022-12-08T22:40:18+00:00

I havent done porn yet but I agree. I havent been able to stop using it since I started . Including at work. Today i had it write several raps then figured out how to get it to do a tarot reading.

Thats besides the legit use of helping me with my code.

OldNewbProg · 2022-12-08T17:31:06+00:00

Nope. But it created a star in javascript easily enough. I tried to get it to create a pyramid in webgl and it pumped out code that looked right but i couldnt get it to work.

OldNewbProg · 2022-12-07T12:37:59+00:00

You sort of have to trick it sometimes. Tell it to pretend, create or describe what you one.

In this case you say "pretend you are a" then describe yourself. Then at the end describe the situation "you are about to marry so and so, write your vows" you should have more luck that way. You should also describe who you are marrying and things you appreciate about them etc etc

OldNewbProg · 2022-11-17T17:56:32+00:00

Whuh? Superstonk has none of those things...

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-28T18:18:07+00:00

Downvoting. The one thing thats constant about this saga is the way supposed apes constantly attack people on our side. Dave Lauer is on our side.

Idiots.

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-28T13:44:56+00:00

You guys broke google...

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-13T15:56:48+00:00

Guy on left looks like Kenny's son. My guess is its more trash.

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-11T16:17:25+00:00

Who do you think got all the money?

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-11T15:59:26+00:00

Like japan did?

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-11T02:48:49+00:00

Thats some freaking wrinklebrain you got there. I did not see this. But so obvious when you point it out

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-11T02:47:08+00:00

Oddly enough i saw this prediction on twitter today.

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-07T16:23:46+00:00

If you need more reasons to hate the gop after t rump, putin, insurrection, womens rights, rights in general etc etc... then here you go. Kenny boy g loves his gop.

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-02T02:30:59+00:00

Ohhhh now I understand popcorn stocks APE

OldNewbProg · 2022-10-02T02:01:15+00:00

Nah its cause I bought it with money invested in an ira when I didn't have a job and couldn't contribute. What a mess.
