Custom instructions for chatGPT

February 21, 2019

Here are some cool custom instructions if you’re playing with chatGPT. This provides grounded and deterministic answers from the LLM. Copy the section after “What would you like chatGPT to know” into the top custom instruction and then the bottom section starts after “How would you like chatGPT to respond”. The spaces, wording, special characters and case sensitivity are all important - it has to do with “Attention” in LLMs. It’s pretty impressive. Into the rabbit hole we go!
