The self-iterating prompt engineering is a different workflow than normal RAG/tool selection.
Do you mean that the prompts would be completely dynamic in your tool vs the prebuilt prompts with templating that Langchain uses?

#32I’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.

A fun bug is that ChatGPT will always use an emoji when apologizing. So if you ask it not to use emojis in a chat and it does (which it often will do in promising not to), and point it out, it results in a loop of apologies and self critique that devolves into modeling an existential crisis.
I've never asked it not to, either.

Do you thumbs down the bad responses?
Religiously.
I mean, there's no control sample. It's a single custom-generated response read by a single person. I'd like to know how they derive useful insights from those votes.

Works well for the most part.

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