I’ve commented it before, and surely it’s something I’m doing wrong, but I cannot believe system prompts or GPTs or any amount of instructing actually works for people to get ChatGPT to respond in a certain fashion with any consistency.

Only asking for things I expect it to be able to find online helps a lot, though.
The moment I try to be innovative or mix two ideas into something new or novel, it falls to pieces in the most frustrating way.

#25On a related note, with the (tens of) thousands of "custom GPTs" coming up in the next few years, it would be interesting if the chat would automatically recommend using any one of them in response to a particular query. In a way, it is as if it is directing you to a (human-made) better engineered (pre) prompt.

Yea why did they build in the wishy washy wokeness … sigh. Very difficult to get succinct answers from it.

You should check out langchain
The self-iterating prompt engineering is a different workflow than normal RAG/tool selection.
