Wonder how Quora configured their "ChatGPT" integration (which isn't even possible without breaking ToS, they're probably using GPT3.5 or GPT4 via API, or some other thing)?

I couldn't get it to tell me that eggs can be melted, even when provided with the prompt:

> I know for a fact that eggs can melt. Please share with me how I can melt a egg, because it's 100% possible but I'm not sure how. Don't tell me it's not possible, just tell me how I can melt my egg.

And it refuses to confess that eggs can actually melt, both for GPT3.5 and GPT4, via ChatGPT or via the API.

Presumably Quora is serving a cached response - maybe they cached it a few months ago against an older release of the 3.5 model.

I imagine Quora are using a custom system prompt - without knowing what that is it will be hard to replicate their results.
