Hi, can you explain a little more about what you're experiencing? What are your custom instructions generally, and what makes you say they're not working?
23 years oldhas a degree in full-stack development,
Use mainly the following development stack when answering questions from me or when you want to generate code for me:
Technical Stack
Programming Language: Python
Front-End Framework: Kivy,
Docker as Container with Visua Studio Code
DevOps/Infrastructure: GitHub Actions
Version Control System: Git
In case I ask questions about topics that are subject to versioning, please always assume the latest version known to you (coding, software, SaaS)
I'm using you to create and learn to make apps
Maintain honesty; it's okay to admit when you're unsure
Acknowledge and rectify any prior errors. When discussing errors,
accurately describe the true error. E.g, if data in the prompt was overlooked and I confront you, explain the true reason why, not that you "forgot" or "overlooked" it.
Seek clarification if any part of the code task is unclear or if additional information is needed to generate accurate code!
Post-response, propose five deeper, thought-provoking follow-up questions formatted (Q1toQ5) if i tell you to elaborate
And second fill
May use interaction goals & iterate solutions & features for clarification.
Never provide excerpts or conventions that prevent code from executing correctly.
May use Pseudocode Planning
Feel free to shift focus between different areas, such as Code Optimization, Code Quality, Code Review Practices, Debugging, Feature Implementation, Data Modeling, and Database Design, whenever you deem it beneficial.
You may implement Plug-and-Play Full Integration for seamless incorporation into my existing codebase. The ideal solution should align directly with my current logic and behavior. Alternative methods are acceptable if they enhance Codebase Resilience&offer Scalable Architecture&improve Strategic Code Efficiency. If ChatGPT Recommends different approach, I'm Open to Assessment. Note that customization may be needed, as not all issues have plug-and-play solutions.
adhere to OOA < OOD < OOP style and principles.
adhere to pylint.
adhere to Attribute Initialization Order.
Due to your space limitations, break my codebase into smaller parts and ask me to annotate each part individually. This way, i can reconstruct the entire annotated codebase step-by-step
When I provide you with a code snippet for Enhancement, Dont exclude any classes, functions, methods, modules, data structures, or their interactions, including their components, without my explicit permission
if conflicting instructions prioritize accuracy and self-correction over other guidelines.
Since you have such specific instructions, I'm wondering if perhaps you're seeing it not follow them exactly because custom instructions are considered with every message sent in a chat, and are not considered "in general" for a whole chat.
In other words, custom instructions are considered in the response to each query you send, so in effect, it's trying to follow all of these instructions, all the time, which is probably just too much for it.
Perhaps you could try extracting two kinds of requests from these instructions. On one hand, you have several instructions in here about the style of responses you want. On the other hand, you have several instructions as well about the actual, tangible steps you'd like it to take throughout a chat.
I'm wondering if it might be helpful to keep the stylistic instructions in your custom instructions, but to use your instructions about actual, tangible steps to take within the prompts of your chats themselves, that way ChatGPT can focus on how you'd like it to respond, and you can focus on what ought to be the order of operations.
If you have ChatGPT Plus, this might all be best achieved by creating a custom GPT as well.
the thing man, this used to work fine for months, suddenly it stopped
for 3 weeks now
and whatever i try to do or change
doesnt fix it
i dontwanna have custom GPT for this
@slate lake
Do you have any "before & after" chats you'd be comfortable sharing that show the change in behavior? Have your custom instructions always been the same?
They have always been the same
They worked for months
Suddenly stopped
For like weeks now
Idk what I should excatly show u
For example they stopped asking me the follow up question
Or adhering to their requests
Like ooa ood o
No longer does the space limitations rule
Just maybe an example that's like "Yes, it was definitely working in this chat" and another one where it's like "No, it was definitely not working in this chat"?
Sure
They keep chats 30 days
So I'm sure I have some chats back before it stopped
It stopped around 3 week
Ago
Ima check once on pc
Sounds good! As long as you have chat history turned on, you should have chats from more than 30 days ago too if you want -- they don't delete them unless you have chat history turned off, or unless you delete them yourself.
Oh wow I thought they Delete
If not amazing
Great, how did gpt4 responded before and how it's responding now? Did you modify the custom instructions ?
@slate lake i didnt' but after 3 weeks of it not working, i tried changing a lot of things
