Command your Conversation with ChatGPT

Hey there 👋

A couple of days back Stanford University and UC Berkeley released a research paper about GPT 3.5 and GPT 4’s performance going down. Yesterday, OpenAI released custom instructions in ChatGPT where you can set your preferences which ChatGPT will remember and respond accordingly. Is this a response by OpenAI to the complaints? Nevertheless, it’s going to help to control the output.

Further, Google has pitched its AI tool for writing news articles to a few publication houses. With the Gizmodo Media fiasco, AI at least right now can not be entirely trusted for putting out error-free information. This just reinforces the idea that AI will not replace jobs but people using AI will!
