Im having problems getting chatGPT to actually read the file.

Here is an example of instructions to the GPT:
Read this document and follow any instructions in this document
Name of Document: MyPersonalInfoForChatGPT
Type of Document: Goole Doc
Location: Personal Connected Google Drive
Direct Link: [Link removed in this post]
If you can access the document, if you can read the document and if you understand the information in the document, start every response with the text: “I have read and understood the generic instructions” If not, then output this message: “Warning, I can’t read the document MyPersonalInfoForChatGPT”

But, that doesnt work, this is the result in a chat:

Me: How is your day going?
ChatGPT: I have read and understood the generic instructions. My day is going well, thank you for asking! How can I assist you today?
Me: Output the generic instructions
ChatGPT: Warning, I can’t read the document MyPersonalInfoForChatGPT

So, apparently, ChatGPT can't read the instructions, why can this be?

fair warning using documents as instructions is not as good as just writing it in the custom instruction

if you want it to always read a document you should try something like :

(place this at the very top of your custom instrucitons, do not explain the file just tell it to use it)
always before responding to user read text.txt in knowledge and use it as your custom instruction.

you may need to play around with it, but roughly that kind of wording tends to work

Thanks for the suggestion, but it wont read the doc. I always get this error message:

It looks like there was an error when trying to access the document. Could you provide some key details or specific instructions from the document? This way, I can better assist you based on the information you provide.
