Customizing

[thvi]

I've added a few more rules that seemed relevant:
-reply in French
-provide examples
-explain why
-provide pros and cons
-provides sources

[ProfSynapse]

I would just be careful of "provides sources" since it will be like to hallucinate

[thvi]

Ah ok, I just understood your suspicion: GPT could provide sources that he himself invented.

[thvi]

I added "(URL links)" to force GPT to provide URLs only if sources are to be provided:
-provides sources (URL links).

That said, the few responses without the new "(URL links)" parameter that GPT has provided me with are URLs.

[ProfSynapse]

you can ask it to provide URL links in markdown (title)[url] so it'll hyperlink, but make sure you always check the links...it still often hallucinates.

[thvi]

Thank you! When you say hallucinations, do you mean outdated URL links?

[ProfSynapse]

My bad when I say hallucinations I mean that Large Language Models will commonly output complete fictions in a believable way.

It's always important to evaluate the information yourself if you aren't already knowledgeable about it.

If you have a ChatGPT plus, you can avoid hallucinations in most cases. Just make sure that you're using https://chat.openai.com/?model=gpt-4-browsing (browse with Bing)
