Great read. Adding a bit more — I think these are hinting at the reasons GPT seems to be getting worse. Our expectations realign after the failure modes become excruciatingly obvious after some use. For instance, asking it about differences in pronunciation between European and Brazilian Portuguese, even GPT-4 gives utter nonsense.
Even after very carefully explaining the kinds of things I am looking for, it will very carefully repeat what I said, then extrapolate into totally misguided tips like “a” is pronounced “i”. Though, I think it does make sense that GPT would have problems with pronunciation.
