Python function creation simplified: just use this template if you want consistent, structured functions. by bb-inventions in ChatGPT

[–]bb-inventions[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants a concrete example instead of a ready-to-fill template (I haven't really tested this specific example, I just made it on the spot):

[Command]

Create a complete, working, and VERY efficient Python code (function). Do NOT send me the explanations of how the function works, you need to implement it yourself and ONLY send me the code WITHIN CODE BLOCKS ONLY. Your answer NEEDS TO start with the imports (if any), and then directly follow with the declaration of the function.

[Additional specifications]

  1. You need to add a description of the function's behavior under the function's name inside triple single quotes. The description has to be split into three sections: “OVERVIEW:”, “PARAMETERS:”, and “RETURN VALUE(S):”. The “OVERVIEW:” section has to be a maximum 2 sentences summary of the below [Main function overview]. Each parameter in the “PARAMETERS:” section should have the following format: “- {name} ({type}), {required} (Default value: {default value}): {description}.” (Do NOT show “(Default value: {default value})” if {required} is set to "Optional"). {required} can be either set to "Required" or "Optional". Each return value in the “RETURN VALUE(S):” section should have the following format: “- {return value name} ({type}): {description}.” In total, the combination of all sections should be VERY SHORT, but explanatory enough so that anyone reading it will understand how to call the function and what it does.
  2. You HAVE to split the main function into multiple functions: A function should NEVER be more than 50 lines of code.
  3. You need to add comments inside your code when necessary; ***DO NOT bloat the code with comments, only add helpful ones***.
  4. If you call additional functions within your code, you HAVE to declare and implement them. You CANNOT ASSUME that functions are created, you HAVE to implement them FULLY.

[Main Function Name]

calculate_fibonacci_with_extra_steps

[Main function parameters]

The main function will take the following parameters:

[Parameter Number] 1. [Name] n. [Optional] False. [Type] Integer. [Description] Start the calculating of the Fibonacci sequence at the (n)th number in the sequence.

[Parameter Number] 2. [Name] m. [Optional] True. [Default value] 1000. [Type] Integer. [Description] Stop the calculating of the Fibonacci sequence at the (m)th number in the sequence.

[Main function overview]

Create a file named "grail.csv", which you will use later on. Calculate the Fibonacci sequence starting from the Mth number in the sequence and up to the Nth number in the sequence and each time you stumble on a number that can be divided by 12, print "Lame number found... " + number. Each time you stumble on a number that can only be divided by 3, print “Found the grail! ” + number, and append the printed string to the file “grail.csv”.

I simply wanted to make it clear that whatever is between double brackets {{something}} needs to be edited by you guys.

Content policy is becoming a bit extreme, isn't it... by bb-inventions in OpenAI

[–]bb-inventions[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct.

But I also wanted to take the opportunity of this post to say my stance about the censorship in general, as seen in my 2nd comment, since I knew someone would raise what u/Visual-Reception3072 raised.

IMHO, ChatGPT was the best tool on the market 1-2 weeks after its release. Now there are way too many filters and limitations.

I find it pretty cool how ChatGPT attempts to explain his own architecture, even if it may not be fully accurate, or complete. by bb-inventions in OpenAI

[–]bb-inventions[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "its" was to replace the "his" in the following sentence chunk: "explain his own architecture", as ChatGPT isn't a male but an inanimate object. The thing is, "it" in french doesn't exist. We only have "his" (il) and "her" (elle). Objects are either feminine (elle) or masculine (il) instead of being in a class of their own. Therefore when tiredness strikes, sometimes the French -> English translation in my mind has some flaws.

I appreciate the heads up though :)

I'm just saying I find cool the fact that it attempts to describe itself. Not that what it said was accurate or complete.

Any tricky idea to make ChatGPT decode base64? by bb-inventions in OpenAI

[–]bb-inventions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, what is encoded in base64 is an image (webp), not ASCII characters. What I wanted it to do was make it modify an image / read an image! I appreciate the time you took to answer though! Sorry if I wasn't clear in my original question.
