I got curious, but even after reload it won’t go past step 4

Thanks for giving it a go! I’ll check sentry, etc. to see if there’s anything obvious. On the off chance you see this reply: what browser/device were you using? I also see that step 4 is the first multiple choice question, so it doesn’t auto-scroll to the next question (you have to hit “next” to move on). It’s not obvious. Perhaps the culprit here is just bad UI.

Right on

- Device is an iPad running iOS 13.5

- I tried a bunch of things on Q4 both while selecting multiples and selecting a single answer:

  - Trying to scroll "past" it to push through any CSS padding issues
  - Trying to tap the next button
  - Toggling through different states to see if the button changes in any way to see if there is JS with a logic bug (spoiler: while the button did show up as expected, nothing changed it's colour or otherwise indicated that it was clickable. Holding the button just caused text on the page to be selected which confirmed that the button did not have the ability to be clicked)
  - Reloading the page
  - Choosing different answers for Q1-Q3

Dang, that's annoying, sorry about that! And thanks for checking it out so thoroughly. I queued this up and my friend or I will get to it soon. Really appreciate the QA :D

If you want a heads up when it's fixed you can email me at team at polyfill dot work. I will only email you once: when the bug is fixed!

I've only recently started playing with these models, it didn't occur to me you could ask it to parse content and return a structured representation. That's pretty dang cool.

After having toyed with it for a couple more days, I noticed it sometimes returns malformed JSON with extra tokens. E.g.

  {"name": "foo", "company": "bar"}
That's the only weird response I've seen so far, so I just work around it with regex. But if I start seeing other problems with the completion I might try tuning the prompt. Maybe more explicitly telling it how to format the two pieces of data in the output. Got that idea from here: https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1559801520773898240
